[MLZ] How do you capture the case name with Zotfile?

wonblee
Since MLZ does not send the "case name" to the Title field, Zotfile does not have any title to work with for a case entry.

Is there a work-around?

    Pretty much anything is possible using:
    http://zotfile.com/#user-defined-wildcards

    I've gone over the Zotfile page on the wildcards.

    But I still don't think there is a wild card to pull out the "Case Name" field in MLZ.

    have you tried with caseName? if not, with shortTitle? I'm a bit behind about the current mapping/naming in MLZ, but ZotFile hooks right into the javascript API, so any field is accessible via wildcard.

    I'll take another look, but Zotfile doesn't provide a wildcard for every field. There is one for "shortTitle", but none for "caseName".

    caseName should just be title

    Edit: in theory anyway. though I see you say it doesn't work above. Sounds like something for fbennett to fix.

    Actually, it's a Zotfile bug. See https://github.com/jlegewie/zotfile/pull/162

    while what Aurimas says is right, what I was linking to was not Wildcards but user-defined wildcards and with those you can, in fact, use any field, including caseName. It's a little more involved since you have to build the JSON, but that'd be the quick&currently available solution.
