Changing renaming rules to match citation key

I am trying to use Zotfile to have Zotero rename the PDF with a name matching the citation key, that in my case is something like eckstein_perceptual_2004

I read that I need to use {%b} in Zotfile, but when I do the "preview or renaming rules" is just blank, and indeed the renaming does not work when I restart Zotero.

    The %b pattern was monkey-patched into ZotFile by BBT in Zotero 4.x. Zotfile has changed substantially in the transition to Zotero 5 and I no longer understand how I'd do that again in the updated version. An issue has been opened on ZotFile for this here.
