Upgrade StorageYear of publication not displayed correctly on 2 digit dates
Hi,
i have discovered an issue when entering publications from the first century. While probably not a common problem I need to manage some Roman texts and hence encountered the issue.
If I enter 68 as the date, Zotero will display '0000' as the year of publication in the year column but will create a correct bibliography entry of 68. If I enter 0068 it will display AND cite 1968 as the year of publication.
Examples:
Using 68:
COLUMELLA, Lucius Iunius Moderatus, 68. De re rustica.
Using 0068:
COLUMELLA, Lucius Iunius Moderatus, 1968. De re rustica.
Best regards,
Erik

dstillmanI can reproduce this and will have a fix soon.

dstillman@erikberger: This should be fixed in the latest Zotero beta. Use a leading zero ("068" or "0068") to indicate that it's a pre-1000 date. (It'd probably make sense to parse "68AD" and "68 AD" as well. I don't think we can really parse "68" on its own. In the context of 1/1/68, it's parsed as 1968, and outside of that I'm not sure it makes sense to assume a historical date was intended whenever there's a lone number in the field.)
