BetterBibTex: Citekeys not syncing
Hello, I have the following problem:
The pinned citekeys are not syncing across libraries:
they are present in the extra field on one side, but they do not sync to the other side to the extra field (and are for that reason not used as the citekey).
This contradicts the idea of a pinned citekey. The BetterBibTex GitHub support told me it was a Zotero syncing problem.
Thank you in advance

BetterbibTex told me this is a zotero syncing problem since the citekey does not appear in the _extra_ field, even though it is pinned. Thank you
If not, could you maybe step back and explain in a bit more detail? I'm having a hard time understanding what's going on here at all. E.g. the way Zotero users the word "sync" it always refers to syncing across devices, so that may have caused some confusion here (and it's why fcheslack pointed you to the kb entry for that type of sync).
What was never going to happen (and what I don't think the word "pinned" suggests in any way) is that once you have copied to a group library, changing the citekey in one library will update it in multiple libraries (and BBT "support" -- it's one developer of a massive and free app -- may have just misunderstood. As I said, your use of terminology is non-standard from a Zotero perspective).
Edit: but also, make sure that you're not confusing "group" and "collection" -- the main library *is* the central database for all entries in all *collections*
extra
field did not sync with or without BBT, and I took "sync" at face value.
