"The creator name ‘Chawla LS, Huang DT, Keener C, Kellum JA, Lucko N,…’ is too long to sync.

Search for the item with this creator and shorten it. Note that the item may be in the trash or in a group library."

Thankyou!

The error does mean what it says: you have a long list of names in a single author field and that's breaking sync.

You'd either be able to find that item and fix it, or it's already in the trash and you can just empty the Zotero trash.

Btw. -- any sense of whether this started after a specific import? E.g., did you import items from Ovid?

But there are so many items like this you go on forever! Can you find my last post going through all this from the link I put up?

Nope I have gone back and tried to re-import again and I couldn't pinpoint it (have 2000+ imports from Medline). It was Ovid yup!

Thanks so much for all this.

OK, let's keep this all in your new thread since this seems to be a single issue: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/66533/please-help-zotero-keeps-not-responding-after-medline-upload-deletion#latest
