Autocomplete not working

cjanzen
I use Zotero with Chrome on a Mac and for some reason the autocomplete function does not kick in when I am manually entering data. Is there a way I can turn this on?

    Could you describe in more detail which "autocomplete" function you are referring to?

    Thanks for your reply. I am talking about when I manually add sources. I thought that when you begin to add a name or title that was already in your library that it would begin to offer suggestions. For example, if I began entering the title of an edited collection that I already added for a different chapter, I wouldn't have to retype the whole thing each time I added another chapter from the same book.

    Only certain fields (e.g., Place) are autocompleted, and titles aren't among them, since it's not usually what you want. For book chapters, you're better off just using right-click -> Duplicate Item.
