Overwrite existing item from clipboard
Hi,
is there a way to overwrite an existing item from clipboard, while keeping the attached files and notes?
UseCase:
I often import papers from arXiv via the browser plugin. But often the included meta data is wrong. So I search for the bibtex entry in research databases. E.g. dblp.org. Now I just want to copy this entry over the item in zotero.
My current workaround:
I copy the bibtex entry and do "import from clipboard" and afterwards I move the attached files and notes to the new item and remove the old ones.
This workaround also removes the old item from all my collections.
Kind regards,
nopx
