Upgrade StorageSearch and replace words in title in a library collection
I manually changed the titles for say A+ as A$^+$ in a given collection library. I am wondering whether I can do it by search and replace option for titles, if not, this feature will be great in future versions.

dstillmanNot currently without scripting (most easily using the web API and a library such as pyzotero), but batch editing is planned.

yuba ubThanks a lot dstillman for the reply, I'll look the documentation for pyzotero as for now.

dstillmanIf you happen to know how to use the command line, you can even do it with curl and a text editor. Basically:
- curl -H "Zotero-API-Key: [key]" https://api.zotero.org/users/[userID]/items?q=[search] > items.json
- Edit items.json with a text editor
- curl -H "Zotero-API-Key: [key]" -H "Expect:" -d @items.json https://api.zotero.org/users/[userID]/items
