Upgrade StoragePossible to import a custom field from .bib file?
I've been using Jabref for a long (long) time.
I am considering switching over to Zotero.
An absolutely crucial piece of data for me is the date when I added the reference.
I had Jabref set up so that the date added was stored in a field called "timestamp" in the .bib file.
Is there any way to import this .bib file to Zotero and preserve this field?
Ideally, it would overwrite Zotero's date added field.

Date addedbut if you have https://github.com/retorquere/zotero-better-bibtex/ installed,timestamp(or any other field that it doesn't know how to import) will be remembered on import in theextrafield of the item. You need to be on at least 5.1.124 of the plugin (released just now).
