[Beta-10] A question regarding the database update

After the 10-beta.10 release, I've noticed that in some specific cases, the “Extra” field still contains information for which there are specific fields. For example:

(I think this happens, for example, in some items from Wiley)

Should these instances of duplicate information be deleted manually, or will this be done automatically in a future update?

Just curious... My database contains 6.3K items, of which 318 have any data in the “Extra” field... and of those, 169 contain the word “_eprint:”, like in this example.

    Only lines in Extra that correspond to real fields are migrated. _eprint being there actually appears to be a bug, albeit one that's been there for years — that's an internal translator value that started ending up in Extra when we started saving unknown fields there 7 years ago. We'll fix that in the BibTeX translator and see if we can clean up existing duplicate values in an upgrade.

    _eprint will no longer be saved on import, thanks. Zotero should auto-update within a few minutes, or you can update translators manually from the Advanced pane of the settings.
