Modified biblatex export overwritten during Zotero update
Hello,
I'm using Zotero on Windows 10. I customized the BibLaTeX.js export file in my user folder (C:\[User]\Zotero\translators\BibLaTeX.js) to change the format of citekeys and to remove some fields from the export.
After some update of Zotero, the export did however revert to the original state, while the file in my user folder is still unchanged.
How can I change the BibLaTeX export in a way that persists even during Zotero updates? Is there a different folder where another copy of the file resides?

The main question, however, is still: What is the canonical way to make a persistant change to the BibLaTeX export?
And yes, I'd recommend using BetterBibTeX -- which has built-in capabilities to finetune citkeys and customize exported fields -- rather than relying on your own custom version of the translator
I am having my Zotero data directory on the OneDrive, but as I'm not syncing to Zotero online I haven't had any problems so far (except for the aforementioned BibLaTeX renaming issue).
I'll have a look at BetterBibTeX, but I also very much like the solution of just renaming it.
