Zotero Forgets Custom Style Every Time Zotero Updater Updates the App
I have a custom style that I use, based on a .csl file on my computer. I can add it to Zotero using the "Style Manager" in Zotero preferences, and it works perfectly.
The problem is that whenever Zotero updater runs and updates Zotero to a new version, Zotero forgets my custom style, and I need to re-add my .csl file to the Style Manager. This is not a rare problem: Zotero has already been updated eight times since Zotero 6.0 was released on Mar 17, 2022. (https://www.zotero.org/support/changelog)
If I start editing an existing document after Zotero has been updated without first re-adding my .csl file to the Style Manager, Zotero will select one of its built-in styles and reformat all the references in my document to that built-in style. If I don't notice, I risk releasing a document with the wrong style.
Can Zotero or Zotero Updater be fixed so that it doesn't cause Zotero to forget my custom style every time it updates Zotero to a new version?
