Removing "too long" entries on "extra" values

Hi,

I am having trouble syncing with Zotero. When I first had this problem, a box opened up indicating that some of the tags on my entries were too long, more than 256 characters I believe. I deleted those tags (there were perhaps 3-4 of them). Since then I continue to receive an error message when trying to sync that indicates that some of the extra values are too long. How should I best go about finding them? I tried a manual search through my tags, but that hasn't yielded anything in twenty minutes of searching. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Did you empty your Zotero trash?
  • Hi Dan,

    Thanks for your feedback. I had not emptied my Trash but have done so now and still receive the same error message when I tried to sync (#1030207486). Do you have any other suggestions?

    I appreciate your help.

    How are you searching, and what are you searching for?

    This is your error message:
    'Extra' field value 'Access: http://ark.cdlib.org/ark:/13030/ft409nb30v...' too long
    All you should need to do is type, say, "ft409" and clear the Extra value from the item that comes up.
  • Brilliant. Thanks!
