Unable to sync - 'abstract field value too long' ? Report ID: 253263594

lex
Hello all, long time Zotero user, second time asking for help on the Forum.

There is an orange circle with white exclamation point just to left of the green sync arrow. The full error text has been reported to Zotero - Report ID: 253263594 and is listed below.

I have searched for "NATIONAL REVIEW" in order to find the offending Abstract field and fix it or delete it. But no joy.

Hope I am posting in the correct area. The error gave me the ID and said to post to the Forum, but not which category.

Thanks for suggestions in advance, ..alex...

    You searched for "NATIONAL REVIEW" in the abstract field using advanced search? Note that the quick search doesn't search all fields (iirc).

    Quick search does search all fields. But it won't show items in the trash.

    Well... In that case it really should be there. Empty the trash and try syncing again.

    Hurray!

    Emptying the Trash in Zotero had indeed solved my syncing problem.

    Thank you all very, very much for the excellent support.
