"Fields to omit from export" is not working

[SunHaozhe]

Report ID: R2KWF8K2-euc

Exporter used: Copy as BibTex (using keyboard shortcut Shift+cmd+C, Quick Copy)

Expected behavior: The exported bibtex (in clipboard) should not contain annote fields, because I have put annote in Zotero -> Preferences -> Better BibTex -> Export -> Fields to omit from export (comma-separated)

Actual behavior: The exported bibtex still contains annote fields as if I did not ask Zotero (with Better BibTex) to omit them.

I saw that this issue has been reported before, for example #729 . However, reading that does not solve my problem. I have tried to click on the Reset cache button under Zotero -> Preferences -> Better BibTex -> Advanced -> Export -> Reset cache, however this did not solve my problem either. I also tried to restart Zotero.

Could you please help me?

Your quick-copy translator is set to BibTeX, not Better BibTeX, so BBT is not being called. You are getting the Zotero BibTeX export, which doesn't know about "omit fields".

Hi, thanks a lot for your help.

For those who encountered the same issue, see Zotero -> Preferences -> Export -> Default Format, select Better BibTeX instead of BibTeX

Same place where you must have set the quick copy translator before - Preferences - export - default format
