sync issue - issn too long - Academic Medicine

valerie.dory · January 17, 2020

Hi, when I sync my library, it stalls every time it reaches an article from Academic Medicine because the ISSN field includes other information and so is too long. I imported from EndNote in case that's relevant. I keep having to shorten the field but if anyone has a hack to avoid this problem, I'd love to hear about it.
Thanks

You'll need to fix those manually. Zotero doesn't throw away data at import time to give you a chance to do something with it, but you'll need to remove the extra data before you can sync, and that's not something it can do automatically (because it doesn't know what's in the field).
