Available for beta testing: Added By and Modified By for group libraries

In the latest Zotero beta, you can add Added By and Modified By columns to the items list in group libraries, letting you see and sort by the people who created and last updated items.

These fields also show in the metadata list along with Date Added/Modified.

This is fabulous news - really useful for group libraries.
There is something odd going on for the "added by" in a large group library of mine, though. Quite a few of the items (I can't figure out a pattern) do not have an "added by" in the desktop software when they do in the online library.

@FHeimburger: Have you synced this library since updating?

FHeimburger · 2026-03-20T21:44:21+00:00

I hadn't. I now have (and have then switched to another library and back again) and the same phenomenon persists. Restarting Zotero did not help either

@FHeimburger: Can you provide a Debug ID for a sync?
