Zotero 7: createdByUser/lastModifiedByUser in Desktop UI (Was: Added by / Modified by)

bjohas · February 7, 2024

The Zotero UI already shows the time/date when items were added/modified. A web group library also shows user names on the landing page.

Would it be possible (e.g., next to the time/date) to show createdByUser (in group libraries)?

Added by has been planned for a long time for the Desktop version -- not sure Zotero records modified by in an API-accessible format.

Thank you - you're right, there's no lastModifiedByUser, only createdByUser. I've amended the original post accordingly.

No, there's both. There's no lastModifiedByUser if no one else has modified the item.

Great!

Any chance for getting this into the desktop ui?

dstillman · February 17, 2024

Yes, it's planned.
