Can't remove entries from a collection. Report ID # 1056265840

richardparkerdc · May 21, 2020

Zotero is no longer removing entries from collections when I highlight them and follow the menu prompts as usual (selecting, "Remove Item from Collection"). Instead, nothing happens when I do that and item remains in the collection. I tried running a debugging report (see ID# in subject line) but the program failed to detect the error.

I'd guess that you have "Show Items in Subcollections" enabled in the View meun and you're trying to remove items that are in subcollections rather than the parent collection. (We have an open ticket to disable that menu option when no items are in the current collection.)
