mdelassalle · April 6, 2022

Hello

I can no longer synchronize my data and I received the following message :
can't assign to property "added" on "Invalid attachment link mode 'undefined' in Zotero.Item.attachmentLinkMode setter": not an object
Can someone tell me what to do ?
Thank you

I am looking for the same answer! I opened the advanced configuration settings to see if I could find 'Zotero.Item.attachmentLinkMode setter', and had no luck.

@amybergeronbiblio: Can you provide a Debug ID for reproducing this?

Hello! Sure - it's D714534222.

You're running a version of Zotero from May 2020. You should install the current version of Zotero from the download page and figure out why you haven't received automatic updates in three years.

Ahh, that makes sense, thanks very much! I work at a university, and it's not uncommon in large establishments for an old version to be installed by default on networked computers (unfortunately!). I'll put in the request for the update (as this is a task that requires admin permissions, also unfortunately).

Cheers!
