Remove final period after title when importing via DOI

When I use the DOI lookup feature, the item title almost always includes a period at the end. This is something that should be controlled by the CSL style, not entered in Zotero, so I often need to remove that when adding items. Could the translator do this automatically?

Example
10.1037/0021-9010.73.3.574
Alpha, beta, and gamma change in evaluation research: a structural equation approach.
  • I think so, yes -- can we think of any downsides? Only thing that occurs to me are abbreviations at the end, but that seems highly unusual.
  • That’s the only possibility I can think of. Perhaps leave the period if the preceding characters are /\.[A-Z]/ ?
