[3.0b1] duplicate detection syncing problem

Primate Kin Selectio
I tested the duplicate detection with a group library and I found something that does not work properly.

I merged two cited items. If I update my manuscript it recognizes the change correctly. But if I sync the merged Item to the group library and another group member synced it afterwards and he also cited these two items, the manuscript is not recognizing the change correctly. It tells him that one item does no longer exist in the library.
But if I open this document with my Zotero (where the merge was produced) the change is recognized correctly.

I hope there is a solution for it. Or maybe I did something wrong?

    What are the URLs associated with the item when you select it in Word, right-click (control-click on a Mac), and choose Toggle Field Codes?

    Hi Dan,

    these are the URLs (libraryID is replaced by x)

    ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM {"citationID":"2fd10lc9ou","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Hill 1994a)","plainCitation":"(Hill 1994a)"},"citationItems":[{"id":10964,"uris":["http://zotero.org/groups/xxxxx/items/TIGDZ7BJ"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/groups/xxxxx/items/TIGDZ7BJ"]}]}

    ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM {"citationID":"h8h1n4b85","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Hill 1994b)","plainCitation":"(Hill 1994b)"},"citationItems":[{"id":10689,"uris":["http://zotero.org/groups/xxxxx/items/8TIJ9W3M"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/groups/xxxxx/items/8TIJ9W3M"]}]}

    OK, thanks. Looks like the word processor fallback isn't working in group libraries for anyone other than the person who deleted the item. This should be fixed by tomorrow (partly on the server, so it should start working for the other group members).

    Great!!! thank you very much for your fast help.

    Haven't gotten to this yet, but haven't forgotten.
  • Primate Kin Selectio
    Ok I tried it but the same. Good to hear so. Thank you.

    So we have fixes ready for this, but unfortunately they'll have to wait until the next 3.0 beta is out to avoid breaking syncing for 2.1 users. We'll put the server-side fix in place a day or two after 3.0b3 is out, at which point deleted-item mappings in groups should start to work for other users. In the meantime, these mappings will work only for the original deleter.

    Thats fine! Good to know that it will work soon.
    Thanks a lot!!!
