Export to Hayagriva: duplicate keys

pantlmn · 2026-07-12T22:25:52+00:00

Export to Hayagriva YAML does not use citation key from Zotero, a new key is generated, but sometimes I get duplicate keys.
For my library https://www.zotero.org/groups/4505988/p_danilov/library
I get two records with key "преображенский_скит_данилова_монастыря_2", and no record with "преображенский_скит_данилова_монастыря_1".

Is there a way to fix it?

I want to use Hayagriva, not BibTeX or any other format.

Not sure what you're referring to. Hayagriva YAML isn't a format in Zotero. If you're referring to a third-party plugin or tool, you'd have to ask the developer for help.

Zotero 9.0.6 for OS X, only one plugin is installed (BetterBibTeX), but this option is not from this plugin, it's native.

You have to trust devs when they say it is not a native format in Zotero. Probably coming from a script you have found online (something like Hayagriva.js) and installed in your translators directory.

(If you don't believe us, disable BBT and reset translators from the Advanced → Files and Folders section of the Zotero settings. A bunch of things in there ("Citation graph", "Collected notes") will disappear.)

Sorry, I found the script and its source, will try to fix it by myself

The author of the script, `minimarimo3`, has fixed the script, and added an option to use stored citation key (`useStoredCitationKey: true`)

BBT now also does hayagriva
