Citation key issue when renaming PDF

Issue:
I have had several issues with updating citation keys and renaming PDFs.When I update a PDF to match parent metadata, I have noticed that in the citation key field, there is nothing or a red X.When I refresh BibTex field using the Better bibtex plugin, I notice that the citation key is listed in the citation (alongside Title, Creator, Year, etc), but it is blank in the side bar section under where there is a magenta key icon (this is where the red X was).

Specific case:
I noticed that one citation in particular did not have a year in the citation, so I manually updated the year so that the citation key and PDF title would be appropriate (before Smith- !after: Smith-2022).When I updated the citation key, it came up blank and when I renamed my file, it changed the Attachment title to Smith- and the filename to .pdf.After refreshing the citation key, I was able to get the filename to change to Smith-2022, but the attachment title was still Smith- and the field for citation key in the side panel was still blank.

(I believe that this has to do with what is written under "Attachment Title vs.Filename" on the wiki page: 188BET靠谱吗//www.brodersterzo.com/support/file_renaming#customizing_the_filename_format)
  • That sounds like an issue with the BBT plugin that you should report on the developer's github page.188BET靠谱吗Zotero doesn't put the citation key field into the info pane, so if it doesn't update there, that sounds like BBT isn't working correctly.

    188BET靠谱吗(The only thing that's potentially a Zotero issue is the attachment title that doesn't change, but that seems like it'd be irrelevant if the citekey would work as intended.
