All instructions for Zotero you see refer to the desktop application unless they specifically say otherwise. You can't currently export to any metadata formats from the web library. Install Zotero, sync and export.
-
You can sort by item type. That will sort all top level attachments together (I think you can also put a saved search together, but it's more finicky)

RIS has to start with a TY - tag, it's unintelligible without. In this case TY - JOUR JF - Organization science : a journal of the Institute of Management Sciences. DO - 10.1287/orsc.5.1.72 PB - Institute of Management Sciences, Y1 - 1994 JA - Org…

Copy the DOI column into the add identifier (magic wand) field. I'd go at about 50 at a time.
-
Likely means it's just not valid RIS. Have you opened the file in a text editor and looked at it? I'm guessing it's going to be obvious, but if you paste the first ~20 lines here we'll also likely be able to tell you what's wrong.
-
I'm saying this at someone who isn't part of the core dev team, but it's pretty clear that this is not a good area to get involved in terms of the Zotero source code: the challenges in adding custom item types and fields are much more conceptual tha…

I do see this visually (i.e., it's clearly appears to be a bug), but I'm not clear how it actually affects functionality, i.e. would be more than a very, very mild visual annoyance? It's not like it actually changes the item type of the selected ite…

Right-click (or ctrl+click if you don't have right-click set up) on the column header

I think it's got to be EBSCO: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/112991/journal-title-added-to-article-title I have a fix proposed here: https://github.com/zotero/translators/pull/3300

Something like should work.
-
saved from where?
-
Cataloging and style guides generally use the title page absent explicit cataloging information in the book, so yes, you should be good with listing the two lead authors. (I'd probably be fine to list no authors, too: my sense is that pre-college te…

Thanks, added

No, the only way to get the online library is to sync, that's what it's for. The linked article has specific troubleshooting steps and things to report if syncing isn't working. Follow those. (Also, in at least 8/10 cases, this happens when people h…

Sorry, there's no way to prevent that. Word field codes don't copy outside Word, so the moment you paste something from Word into another app, they're lost.
-
This looks like it thinks there already is a bibliography. Try showing field codes (https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/word_field_codes) and then a) make sure that your citations do show up with field codes that say something like ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM …

It's the exact same code as for MLA, and the lines to enter it are after 642 https://github.com/citation-style-language/styles/blob/master/chicago-author-date.csl#L642 and after 660 https://github.com/citation-style-language/styles/blob/master/chica…

I'm afraid that's not possible, no -- since Zotero/CSL uses a tabstop and not a table/two column layout, you can't add linebreaks on the left.

BBT has support for pandoc's citekey format: https://retorque.re/zotero-better-bibtex/citing/index.html#drag-and-drophotkey-citations
-
Yeah, Google Doc's figure & table management is non-existent: there aren't any captions that move with figures, let alone updating ones. That's really mission creep for Zotero to get involved in, though; I don't see that happening. If you want b…

The back button is the standard way PDF readers handle this, and links can also be cross-references (e.g. jumping between sections), so as opposed to the more limited button in Word "back to text" isn't going to be the right label for all instances.
-
Insert a bibliography and look -- most likely reason is that the item is cited as 160 already
-
Why not use Word or LibreIffice's own features for that?
-
You'll want to do 1 for every workflow, but you can use the BBT add-on for convenient access to cute keys. It comes with lots.of documentation and there are a bunch of blogspot on using it with pandoc and markdown
-
@josq which Zotero version, OS, and where are you dragging from?
-
All covered in the manual: https://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html#specifying-a-citation-style
-
This should definitely work with Markdown, yes. I don't believe pandoc will recognize citations in .docx format (but I'm not sure)
-
It should work exactly as for in-text citations and appear in the citation dialog, yes (and it does for me). Which Zotero version and which word processor? Have you tested in a fresh document (insert Chicago citation, move cursor into footnote, add…
-
I wouldn't automate this -- e.g. if you cite the same work two paragraphs apart (but with no citation in between), you'd definitely want the author name in there again, so manually doing omit author for every citation is the best bet.
