Upgrade StorageSearch and replace in specific fields
I need to search and replace a specific string, let' say xyz and replace it with abc, within the field "extra". Do I remember correct that in earlier versions of Zotero a function "find and replace" was available, and if yes, why did it disappear? How do other people handle this problem now? I exported my Library as CSV and could easily exchange the strings. But what happens when I am going to import this file again: will all entries be doubled? We have 20,000 items in our library and I don't want to destroy a work of 4 years. An advise? Best, Christian
