Upgrade Storagecollection with subcolelctions does not export, save as html, or create citations
I have probably 100+ items in a collection. However only 7 are exported, saved as html or csv.
Any work around?
Any work around?
At this point you have not addressed the issue and I don't think you ever will. Zotero is not downloading subcollections. You have the screen shots to prove it.
Great software to keep a ref library online but is now unusable for me to use it for anything else.
Please read through Etiquette before posting here again.
Anyone responding to you here is trying to help you, and your response is wildly inappropriate.
We can’t see your screen, and there are multiple ways to export things — I’m asking whether you’re right-clicking on the collection or on items directly, and explaining how that can produce different results depending on your settings. It sounds like that’s the issue for you, but you haven’t actually responded to what I said.
We also haven’t received any screenshots from you, either here or via email, and you haven’t provided the Debug ID I asked for if you don’t think what I suggested above applies. If you want our help, you’ll need to provide that.

Can you share a couple screenshots — either here or in an email to support@zotero.org with a link to this thread — of what you're exporting and what you're getting in the export?

Hi. Thank you.
Here's the structure of my collection "COVID" - there are refs (not all are journals or articles) in each of the subcollections too:

Yes, show subcollections is checked:

R click on collection COVID and regardless of what I select (export - csv copied below and report is attached) I only get 9 items:
The bib (also attached) I get 181 items but they are not organized like subcollections. I can't tell how they are organized so basically unusable.

@lsdphd: Oh, also, assuming you're right-clicking on the collection to start the export, make sure you're not just viewing items from subcollections with View → Show Items from Subcollections.

Obviously right clicking to get all the possible options - none working as I copy and pasted.

I will try to demonstrate again what is not working:
It is only when I open every subcollection do they appear in the middle section.
Again, the order of the listing is the order when it is exported in CSV format. All of the organizing into the subfolders/subcollections goes away. This is what I mean by useless unless I individually recategorize each item in csv file.

And to further be clear what's expected: When you export a collection in Zotero to CSV, items in subcollections are not exported to CSV. That is independent on the setting in the view menu. (I'm not sure that's ideal behavior, but it's currently expected behavior)
If you want all items in a collection, including in subcollections, exported to CSV, you need to toggle "Show Items from Subcollections" on in the view menu, then select all items in the middle panel (not the collections), right-click and export. Again this export will not include any collection details.
If you do need collection information in the CSV, the easiest would likely be to tag all items in each sub-collection; a bit tedious but pretty quick.
If you need just any export format that includes collection information, Zotero RDF is your best bet. Different from CSV export, that will export items in subcollections as you export the parent collection.
