Incorrect import of fields bib , ris , EndNote xml

zvyczaj
Incorrect import of fields and files.
1. Mendeley Item Type - web page -> file bib -> Zotero Item Type - Book
2. Mendeley Item Type - web page -> file ris -> Zotero Item Type - Email
3. The EndNote xml (Mendeley) format can only be imported if there are very few records, 300 records are not imported, and the number that cannot be imported varies.

    1 and 2 are very likely a Mendeley and not a Zotero issue. If you look at those items in a text editor and paste them here, we'll be able to say more, but Zotero follows bibtex and RIS standards as best as possible (though they're not great standards for transferring material).

    Do you have very little (RAM) memory on your computer? Zotero will run out of memory for importing large XML files, but that should be several thousand, not several hundreds items on a computer with typical RAM.

    If you're trying to convert an entire Mendeley database to Zotero, see
