Items disappear from collection after import
Hi,
I'm migrating from Papers2, and I was doing so by exporting each collection to RIS, then importing manually each collection into a new Zotero collection. This was working fine for a while.
But now something went horribly wrong: all the collections I imported are showing empty. If I go to "My Library" I can search for the papers I imported, and if I go to "Unfiled Items" I cannot see my imported papers, so clearly Zotero somehow considers them "filed."
If I try to import new collections, the items are imported but they are not put into the selected folder. In other words, I've lost the ability to import into a specific named collection.
I'm using the latest version (4.0.28). Any idea what's going on?
Best,
JLT

Check your database integrity from the advanced tab of the Zotero preferences.
Provide an error report ID after trying to import into a given collection (I'm assuming you do that via clipboard?)
