Edited the File Title of the Attachment but Reverts to Original State once I close Zotero

Hi!

New Zotero user here. I am working on a group library (I am not the admin) and I tried to edit the file title of the attachment (pdf file). It gets changed just fine but whenever I close the Zotero window, the changed file title reverts back to the original one.

Any recommendations?

The original file title is:

Smith and Jones - 2010 - Understanding Nutrition

and I want it changed to:

Smith & Jones (2010) - Understanding Nutrition

And I want it to the stay that way even if I close and reopen Zotero.

Thank you very much!

Can you provide a Debug ID for changing it?

Thank you. I hope this is the right Debug ID for this concern.

You don't have file editing privileges for that library — only admins do. It's a bug that it gives you the option of trying to modify the filename at all. We'll fix that.

Thanks. Does the admin of the group library need to change settings so I have more file editing privileges and modify the filename?

dstillman

Yes.

@regarnd: They would need to either give file editing privileges to all members or make you an admin.

Thank you! This has been solved. Admin changed the settings.
