Zotero Connector not saving PDF on APS (American Physical Society) even though PDF access is granted

Hi all,

the Zotero Connector does not save PDFs paper from APS (American Physical Society) Journal even though PDF access is granted and I can normally open the PDF in the browser.
Multiple metadata entries are also falsely saved: Multiple authors are missing, abstract is missing, full data is missing, ISSN is missing, pages are missing, abstract is missing etc. (see picture below).

This erroneous behaviour started after the APS updated their website yesterday.
"Find Full Text" in Zotero 7 with my own university's library's OpenURL resolver also does not work, it just grabs arxiv version and not the published version on APS.

Try this paper for instance: https://journals.aps.org/pra/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevA.65.032314

Is anybody having the same issue?
I'd glad if someone point me to a solution to this bug, or raise an issue on Github.

Thanks a lot.

Sorry, APS redesigned their journal sites and temporarily broke our translator. Fixed now. Your Zotero Connector should auto-update within a few minutes, or you can update manually by clicking Update Translators in the Advanced pane of the Zotero Connector preferences.

Thank you.
Edit: It also works now after restarting Zotero.

Sorry to bother again, but the abstract field is still broken:
It copies some weird metadata into the abstract, see here for this paper for example: https://journals.aps.org/prxquantum/abstract/10.1103/PRXQuantum.4.030319

This shows up in the abstract field:
