Citations failing b/c BibLaTeX format is no longer a%y%t%

DustinT

I'm using standalone with TexStudio, and the drag and drop citing, which is a%y%t% format. When I exported collections or libraries they used to be a%y%t% as well. Now (perhaps with an update?) they export as a%_t%_y%. Where can I find and change this setting?

Thanks,
Dustin

The BibTeX translator has used the underscores since at least 2011. You technically can change them by changing the 'citeKeyFormat' variable in the translator. But it is probably better to change the translator you're using to drag/drop the cite keys.

Thanks! I think my biggest problem is I can't find the translator. I've searched the whole Zotero folder.

Zotero translators are stored as individual JavaScript files in the “translators” subdirectory of the Zotero data directory.

Found 'em. Thank You!
