Zotero Sync Error

DGSLaw
I suspect this was because of a power surge, I seem to be missing one standalone note, but the debug log is D1932850057
Mostly I want to get rid of the error message.

    You're getting an error because you've used the Zotero 7.1 beta on another computer and are still using Zotero 6 on this computer, and you've saved podcast items in the beta:
    Note that items saved with the beta that use new fields won't show up on other devices that are still running old versions, and populating a new field on an existing item will cause it to stop syncing with those versions. New fields also won't show up in the web library or in the mobile apps at this time.
    If you're running the beta somewhere, you should run it everywhere.

    I haven't updated desktop apps, but I did open and edit some stuff on the online version once, does that count as using 7.1?

    Can I just manually delete and recreate those items?
    I'm not using the new version because I use zutilo 'rename and move' a lot, as well as sync via Onedrive with zotfile.

    @dstillman -- could this happen in a group?

    @DGSLaw -- note that Zutilo now has released (perhaps in beta, check their GitHub) a version compatible with Zotero 7 and ZotFile functionality is replicated for Zotero 7 my the zotmoov plugin.

    So, I updated to 7.0.13 and still get the error

    Log is D1103800126

    We're looking into this.

    @DGSLaw: There was a server-side bug here that was causing this error to show up more broadly than it should have. That's resolved now.

    You'd still be getting this error for two podcast items with dates assigned. I'm not sure how you would've created those if not with the 7.1 beta, but I would just ignore them for now or, if you're using podcast items widely, just switch to the beta now so you can have a proper Date field and switch back to the release version of Zotero 7.1 when it's available.

    Thanks for looking into it @dstillman, i've gotten used to the warning now.

    @adamsmith also thanks for sharing the zotmoov, it's working fine (though I miss the 'relate selected items' option as easier then default.
  • adamsmith
    but the relate selected items function is Zutilo which has now been updated, no?
  • DGSLaw
    Oh, since zutilo showed as disabled I thought it hadn't been updated, but I downloaded the new version from github and relate selected items is back.
