Batch editing is still being actively developed with no release date yet. However, the scenario you've described is beyond the capabilities of batch editing. Batch editing will support setting a field to the same value across multiple items. What yo…

We've deployed a fix, pasting multi-line text into a creator input field no longer causes a crash. Again, thank you for letting us know about the issue!
-
Thank you for your report! Could you please confirm the following: 1. The crash happened when in "reader mode", i.e., when opening or annotating a PDF or EPUB? 2. Does the crash happen repeatedly, or was it a one-off? In other words, after refreshi…

The web library has no access to your WebDAV credentials, so files stored on WebDAV are never available there (metadata syncs to zotero.org, files to your storage). This means you also can't add files via the web library and have them sync back to W…
-
The most likely cause is that those files were renamed manually at some point. When a filename has been manually modified, Zotero treats it as intentional and skips automatic renaming for that attachment going forward. To reset them, you have two o…

Assuming the group library allows file storage, then yes! You can upload a file from the attachments tab, using a "+" button in the toolbar or by dragging a file from your desktop onto the items table in the web library.

We've released an update, the issue should now be resolved, tags list should appear correctly on mobile devices.
-
We're looking into a bug that prevents the tag list from rendering on some devices. In the meantime, the "Manage Tags" option from the three-dots menu next to the "Tags" header (visible after opening the tag list) should work correctly on your devic…

Thank you for reporting this problem! We've pushed a fix and the issue should be resolved now.

Thanks for the report, we will fix it!

Word-boundary truncation isn't supported natively, but you can approximate it with replaceFrom: {{ title replaceFrom="^(.{1,80})\s.*$" replaceTo="$1" }} This captures up to 80 characters and stops at the last whitespace before the limit, so you n…

As explained above, this is not supported in the web library. In the desktop client, on Linux, Shift+drag works, but there is no visual feedback to indicate the different behaviour when the Shift key is pressed or released (we will see if we can im…
-
The Shift+drag behavior to move items is a feature of the desktop client -- the documentation describes desktop behavior and doesn't apply to the web library. In the web library, drag-and-drop always adds to the new collection, not moves. This is a…

Thank you for the report! This does not work as expected in the current version of the web library, but will be fixed in the next release.

The per-library file renaming settings introduced in Zotero 9 apply to group libraries -- separate libraries, usually shared with others, where the group admin can configure a renaming rule for the group. They don't apply to different collections wi…

The Config Editor button is at the bottom of the Advanced tab in Zotero's preferences.

Please backup your DB before proceeding. Batch editing via console script is dangerous. I've tweaked the code to get all the items and filter for ones that have empty fieldName. I've also added pretend. When pretend is enabled it only prints TITLE…

The web library doesn't need sync -- it fetches data directly from Zotero's servers as you navigate, loading just the items and collections you open. With library editing restricted to admins and file storage disabled, group members can: - Browse a…

Thanks for reporting. We will improve the detection to exclude ®, © and ™.

If two individuals in the group had different custom filename formats specified, with continuous renaming in place, the filename would change constantly when members introduced changes to the metadata. Therefore, custom filename formats must be sync…

As explained in linked thread (https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/comment/508370/#Comment_508370): Group libraries don't yet support custom filename format templates. It will be configurable by group admins in a future update.
-
If you can wait -- a batch editing interface is in the works and is coming to Zotero in the near future, but we cannot commit to a release date. If you want it fixed now, the JavaScript snippet that you linked to is your best bet. And correct, you …

The Zotero web library is a companion tool for an existing library -- it lets you browse and add items but doesn't provide the full Zotero experience (no word-processor integration, no connector, etc.). For learners, the recommended path is to ins…

File renaming in group libraries still works in Zotero 8, it just uses the default template rather than any custom one you've configured. Support for custom renaming templates in group libraries is being worked on and will be available in a future v…

S3 returned 0 for 2/JEVFDHK8 -- retrying download This means Zotero is trying to download one of your attachment files from its cloud storage, but the connection is interrupted. This is a network-level block, not a missing file. Zotero retries and h…

This is most likely problem on your end. Here are a few things to try: Check your Downloads folder — the file may have downloaded silently without a prompt.Check for a popup/download blocker — your browser or an extension (like an ad blocker) might …

This issue has now been resolved, thanks for reporting it!

Group libraries don't yet support custom filename format templates. It will be configurable by group admins in a future update. So for now, group libraries always use the default filename format regardless of what you've set in preferences (which i…
