Missing item citation when copying annotation from the Web Library

mjthoraval · December 21, 2023

I can do Ctrl+C or drag-and-drop to copy an highlight annotation from the PDF Viewer in the Web Library to a text editor on my computer. It correctly copies the content of the highlight and the comment on it. But the citation of the item is missing.

From my desktop application:
“Results and discussion” (Carlson et al., 2024, p. 3) Test annotation
From the Web Library:
“Results and discussion” Test annotation

Using:
Zotero 7.0.0-beta.53+969031a37 (64-bit)
Windows 10
Chrome Version 121.0.6167.16 (Official Build) beta (64-bit)

Well, the web version has many limitations. I'm not sure if we can do it at all.

Thank you.
I was just happily surprised that the copy-paste was already "half-working".
So I was checking if the other half could be done also, considering the recent ability to annotate in the Web Library.

This is worth improving in a future release of web library, we will investigate.
