Error when switching between .odt and .docx files

I'm writing a paper in the .odt format in LibreOffice but will have to ultimately export it to a docx file for my supervisors. Unfortunately, my references are not transferring to the .docx file and this error pops up:

Zotero experienced an error updating your document.
Field type not implemented [getFields:documment.cpp:508]

It's weird, I've never had a problem with the older Zotero 5 versions, the error is only coming up with the latest 5.0.55. If there is no fix for this, is there a way to downgrade to a 5.0.53 version?

Will appreciate help in this matter.

    Are your citations stored as ReferenceMarks or Bookmarks? To check, click Document Preferences in Zotero toolbar in LibreOffice in the document you're working on.
  • Hey amdomasven, they're stored as Bookmarks to port them over to the .docx format
  • Does it work if you restart Zotero between working in LibreOffice and Word on the same document?
  • Huh, that did the trick. Many thanks for your help!
