BibTeX export: I do NOT want "Extra" (zotero) to go into "note" (bibtex)

chogg
The BibTeX export feature is mostly excellent, but I've found a problem. The "Extra" field from Zotero gets exported to the "note" field in BibTeX. Obviously, this is a feature and not a bug, but it can easily yield undesired behaviour!

Here's a concrete example. I automatically imported the following paper:
http://prola.aps.org/abstract/PRL/v91/i26/e267204
The "Extra" field is filled in automatically with:
"Copyright (C) 2008 The American Physical Society; Please report any problems to prola@aps.org"
When I export to BibTeX, the "Extra" field becomes the "note" field. Now my bibliography automatically sticks the copyright notice in! That's pretty messy.

Is there some interface to setup which fields in Zotero get mapped to which fields in BibTeX? And if not, could you please add one? :)

Thanks,
Chip

    I've run into the same thing... the extra field gets filled with all kinds of random things I generally don't care about. The JSTOR translator usually sticks the abstract in the extra field. It gets pretty messy indeed when it comes to producing a bibliography in LaTex.
