collection will not show all items of a subcollection

dhercot

Dear,
I don't figure out why and how to solve the following issue.
On my public group I cannot see some publications on the main observatbru collection while they are included in the barometre subcollection. Most publications from this sub-collection are visible.
Example: take all publications called "Barometre YYYY". The 2014 is not visible in the collection "observatbru publications" while 2013 2012 are. And all of them are visible in the subcollection "armoede"

https://www.zotero.org/groups/observatbru.be/items/collectionKey/QZ5DTWR3

How could I solve this ?

Best.

By default, items in subcollections don't show up in the parent collection. In your local version of Zotero, you can toggle this behavior with the "recursiveCollections" hidden preference, but that's not possible online, i.e. the way you want this to display can't be done.

I'm pretty sure the items you _are_ seeing at the parent level online are also in the parent collection locally.

Thanks, Indeed this was the case, I applied the technique proposed here to check which article was in the main folder: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/37611/ref-view-in-folders-and-subfolders/.

I had also forgotten about this "recursive collections" option. Anyone passing by check it here: https://www.zotero.org/support/collections_and_tags#recursive_collections

Best.
