Upgrade StorageZotero add-in for Mac struggles with special characters in citations
I have now gone through all of the troubleshooting steps and fixed the error once by deleting my whole bibliography, but it appeared again and it seems that the issue are now citations with e.g. umlauts or other special characters (e.g. in German names). Other citations are added normally, but special character citations give me an error. I have the most recent versions of both Word and Zotero, what to do?
Can you back up and explain exactly what the problem is, provide a Report ID after it occurs, say what exact Word version this is, etc.?
I suddenly started receiving this error when adding in-text citations: "Zotero experienced an error updating your document. Would you like to view troubleshooting instructions?"
When I clicked Yes, I was directed to this page: https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/debugging_broken_documents
I did everything mentioned in the list: checking for updates, copying the text into a new document etc. The problem was resolved after I removed the bibliography from the document. Then I noticed that the problem came back and that it might actually be caused by the special characters in the authors' names, because I can add references without special characters without problem, but the issue persists for two specific articles in my collection:

I am using Mac OS Sonoma 14.2.1 (23C71), Word for Mac (Version 16.85.2 (24052614), and Zotero (6.0.37) with plug-in for Word.
Beyond that, we'd still need a Report ID after reproducing this.
I can't reproduce this with 14.5/16.85.2/6.0.37 with APA 7th with those two items (saved now from the DOI page and PDF metadata retrieval, respectively).
