Not happy how Twitter is handled since the update

edited May 29, 2022
Hey,
since I'm overall pretty happy with Zotero 6, how Twitter is handled gives me headaches. Okay, making it a "Forum" item type makes some sense even if I don't like it. But having the Twitter handle in the "Name" field creates additional work.

I need to sort names by Surname, Prename. Having the Twitter handle [@yaddayadda] also in the name field makes reordering without having to remove the handle by hand from every Twitter entry a tedious and — sorry — unnecessary task.

But not only this. If I'll leave the Twitter handle in the name field, it breaks the Zettlr export. Thus I _must_ remove all the Twitter handles from the name field and honestly: that sucks.

It is helpful to have the Twitter handle in the entry, yes. But could you please stick it into a field separate from the name field?

To illustrate the problem:

1. Zettlr export with Twitter handle in the name field: https://www.dropbox.com/s/lacgl6vly3ikncm/002-WarumQuackSoGefaehrlichIst-Beispiele.pdf?dl=0
2. Zettlr export with Twitter handle removed from the name field: https://www.dropbox.com/s/r0mvtmv09o1vc7u/002-WarumQuackSoGefaehrlichIst-Beispiele-fixed.pdf?dl=0

Regards,
Mela
