Connector issue when choosing "collection"

amysix

I have noticed a fairly consistent unexpected behavior with the connector on chrome (Brave).

If a group library collection happens to be open in Zotero but I want to save the item somewhere else, it does not let me select a different collection. Sometimes when I try to do that, it closes the box and just saves it in that group library without letting me select a different one. Other times, it lets me select a different collection, but saves it in the originally open group library collection instead. Thanks.

Can you provide Debug IDs from both the Zotero Connector and Zotero for reloading a page, trying to save, and not being able to switch collections?

here's a second one, same issue: D1907892800

it seems like it is happening only when I save pdfs from a view of pdf directly in the browser and not when I save an item (a journal article) with a pdf that gets attached.

We need one from Zotero.

oh they are 2 separate things, I see.

getAttachments() cannot be called on attachment items

OK, yes, this happens when saving a PDF directly and then trying to move it to another library — it will fail and leave the file in the first library. We'll fix for Zotero 6.0.14. Thanks for reporting.

great, thanks!
