Does the new architecture of Zotero 5.0 make custom fields more likely?

Thanks Dan. For the sake of others who might not know, until native support for custom fields in Zotero, a work around is to use the zotero-better-bibtex plugin.

Essentially you can use Zotero's Extra field for your custom fields, which zotero-better-bibtex will recognize on export ...

Extra: bibtex[origdate=1856;origtitle=An Old Title]

See https://github.com/retorquere/zotero-better-bibtex/wiki/Customized-Exports

(But at this point of time zotero-better-bibtex only supports Zotero 4.0, with Zotero 5.0 support pending).

Are the various customized instructions (strings) all listed together somewhere? I need customized data to appear in the date field, for instance ([c. 1849]). Thx, M

I can get at the xml file here: https://github.com/aurimasv/z2csl/blob/master/typeMap.xml . The link above does not work for me. Thx, M

link works for me in Firefox and Chrome -- I've made sure it's hyperlinked, maybe that helps in your set-up.

@opacct -- please don't double post. You can bump your original thread as you did if you don't get a response (https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/72599/sort-by-section-in-item-type-statute#latest ), though I think the reason for the lack of response is just that no one has anything helpful to say.
