Wildcards not working in zotfile

Cubicle13 · December 13, 2022

What am I doing wrong here?
Made a Zotfile wildcard for the "edition" field in books (see below).
{%a} - {%t}, {%edition}"E "({%y}) should make --> Author - Title of Book, 9E (1983)

But I keep getting the error below, and no renaming is done.

{
    "edition": {
        "book":{"field":"edition"}
    }
}

What am I doing wrong here?

have you tried with the very simple

{
    "edition" : "edition"
    }

@adamsmith The error has gone, but still no renaming
The preview shows Author - Title of Book, E (1983) instead of Author - Title of Book, 9E (1983)

It's like the edition field is not recognised?

Works if you use a simpler wildcard -- might be they have to be single character?

{
    "1" : "edition"
    }

works
