Changing the exported field type Better bibtex exports

fuj36840
The title of a website is exported by Better Bibtex as a 'journaltitle' field. However, the '@online' entry does not support this field.
Is it possible to change the website title field to be exported as 'maintitle' field for @online entries?

    You can do this in a postscript:

    if (Translator.BetterBibTeX && item.itemType === 'webpage') {
    reference.add({ name: 'maintitle', value: item.title })
    reference.remove('journaltitle')
    }

    But do you mean that @online entries should always use maintitle instead of journaltitle? I can't find online in TTB or BibTeXing, and the biblatex manual (are you exporting bibtex or biblatex?) seems to indocate that neither journaltitle or maintitle are appropriate for @online.

    Can you open an issue on the BBT github issue tracker for this?

    I'm exporting biblatex.
    But I meant something else. If I would cite this thread, I would like to export 'Zotero.org' as the title of the website and 'Changing the exported field type Better bibtex exports' would be the normal title.

    Open an issue on github and we'll get it sorted.
