OK thanks I'll give it a shot and let you know how I go.
-
Yes, my IT department tells me Zotero updates are difficult to push out so we don't update regularly. I'll try it at home with the latest version and see if things are different.
-
And I still get the same error message when I try to report it.
-
Yes. I just closed Zotero, re-opened and synced again and I still get the error. For the record, I'm using Zotero Standalone v4.0.20.
-
My apologies, I hadn't fixed the extraneous spaces around = . That seems to be the root of the problem. In v4.0.20 it tolerated the spaces, not so in v4.0.29.10. As always, thanks very much for your help!!

Thanks for your help, but I'm afraid I still can't quite get the intended output. I've changed from en-AU to en-GB and added the < choose > and < /choose > tags at the start and the end of the macro "author". https://gist.github.com/Jo…

For the record, I have passed it through the CSL Style and Locale Validator and it generators no errors.
-
Is there any possibility that it could be related to using track changes in Word?
-
OK I get it now. I think some people might have been leaving Zotero going for days hoping to eventually see some movement on their progress bar when actually that is the worst thing they could have done. Good to know.
-
OK no problem I understand. From my perspective it's just an issue because when people ignore it they then add references which other people had already added to a library. Then we end up with a reference list with duplicates which can be a pain to …
-
Just for your info, I just spoke to someone who had this issue and although they didn't try restarting Zotero they did shut down their computer, come back the next day and still have the same problem.
-
OK great I guess we'll give that a go and let you know if we have any more errors.
-
OK so if we upgrade to 4.0.19 and the error happens again the answer is to ignore it and then try syncing again?
-
OK thanks for your help.
-
Maybe the issue could be caused by a very large file attachment somewhere? If so, is there any way for me to sort my Zotero library by attachment size to identify it? edit: The whole library is only 90MB so maybe that's not the problem.
-
So for now the answer is be patient and try syncing again later?
-
Yeah we can't updates ourselves so manual labour is the issue I think.
-
Just to be clear, is that what a timeout looks like? The sync icon continues to turn and the progress bar doesn't update? Because it's not a case of getting the red exclamation mark icon - that never occurs.
-
OK good to know. My IT department tells me we're generally slow to update because Zotero doesn't have particularly good support for pushing out updates en masse. Is that right? The sync issue is frustrating because I have never had a problem person…

Hi Dan I work at an organisation where we all use Zotero Standalone for Windows v4.016 with Chrome connector and a number of people have had intermittent syncing issues like the one described above. When you say it 'should be fixed' now, do you m…
-
No worries. Thanks for making the change.
-
OK thanks. I'm using Zotero in an organisational setting where individual users don't have permission to install updates and the pop-ups can get a little annoying. I'll give it a go and post again if it does/doesn't do the trick.
-
OK great. Thanks for the response.
-
Any luck fixing this?
-
OK well I do actually think it's a good feature if it only it was functioning properly. Let me know if it gets fixed. (P.S. I'm still not sure how to import a single field author using Zotero RDF. If you have a moment to help : https://forums.zoter…
-
Thanks Adam. Well that did fix the validation error at least. Unfortunately, I just installed the updated style file and I still get the 'chap. ' issue.
-
Sorry, here's the offending section. Line 139 is : label form="short" suffix="" strip-periods="true"
-
I tried validating it and got what I think is one error: stdin:139:12: error: missing attributes of http://purl.org/net/xbiblio/csl^label required: attribute ^variable allowed: attribute ^plural attribute ^prefix attribute ^font-style attribut…
-
I actually got to try that out this morning and it doesn't work for me. If I import with your suggested code I just get an empty author field.
-
OK no worries. Yes that's what I was after. Thanks.
