Upgrade StorageBibliography generation errors
Suddenly, since about April 12, 2019 The Bibliographies it is generating are full of errors. For example in APA it is picking up the "Location in Achieve" line and adding it to the end of the bibliography. I tried a few other styles too and some do and some do not create the same error. Often it ignores the publisher and location info. It also sometimes adds a URL that is not the one we have in the "URL" information line. When creating a page of bibliographies there is seldom one that does not need correction. This is happening across four computers that share share the same Zotero Library.
These are almost all entries which we have used successfully before in papers and syllibi.

The APA style did change around April 12. Location in Archive is indeed used under certain conditions, but that makes a lot of sense given the APA Manual (and it's odd you would have something in that field that you don't intend to be included in bibliographies).
Most other styles wouldn't have changed.
While there was a Zotero update around the same time, that should not have affected bibliographies in any way.
We'd need more examples to say more.
What type of examples do you need in order to tell what is going on?

Thank you for looking into this.
1. DOI
2. URL
3. Electronic archive
4. Physical archive
5. Nothing
If you are saying that you have data entered in the DOI or URL fields, but it is printing the Archive or Loc in Archive fields instead, I’m not sure how that is possible. Can you please select some items that are printing incorrectly, right click, and export to CSL-JSON? Then, open the file and copy the text to http://hastebin.com, save it, and paste the link here?
In general, you should not store arbitrary information like file names in the archive fields—those are sometimes actually used by styles.
Yes I have info in DOI or URL fields that for some entries are printing Archieve or Loc in Archive lines.
What looked like doubles was 1st how the bibliography came out before this week. The 2nd was how they came out this week from the same Zotero.
We were unaware of any usage of Loc in archieve in APA.
However after years and thousands of usages with no problem we were surprized that items which previous generated well now suddenly do it differently.
I 'll try to get you the info in the way you requested.
@jer4reasearch Check your Zotero settings on the Cite pane and make sure “Include URL for paper articles” is checked.
As bwiernik says, though, storing things you don't want cited in random fields is generally not a good idea -- citation styles will use them and the citation styles do change, be it to adapt to new versions of a manual or to cover more types of citations. E.g. Chicago Manual will also use the archive and location in archive field should you ever want to switch to that.
Notes are the recommended place to store extraneous information.
