reorganizing citations

edited August 13, 2021
188BET靠谱吗I am using the most current versions of both Zotero an LibreOffice, on macOS BigSur.188BET靠谱吗The same mess happens when I either reorganize text (shifting paragraphs, etc) which contains a zotero reference, such as to change the order of the reference numbering OR hit "Refresh".The following prompt appears:

188BET靠谱吗"You have modified this citation since Zotero generated it.Do you want to keep your modifications and prevent future updates?
188BET靠谱吗Clicking Yes will prevent Zotero from updating this citation if you add additional citations, switch styles, or modify the item to which it refers.Clicking No will erase your changes.
Original: 10
Modified: 10107"

This is a confusing and ambiguous choice.188BET靠谱吗If I click "No", then Zotero runs through my four-page document and repeatedly adds the same reference number, e.g.3333333 or 10101010 etc.etc.The same thing happens if I hit the "refresh" button.Eventually, LibreOffice has enough, and crashes.188BET靠谱吗Zotero may also crash.

Please, I only want to reorder a lit.reference order or enter a new one into the middle of the text.
If you need to move this question some place else, then please do so,
  • 188BET靠谱吗If you go into Zotero Document Preferences are you using ReferenceMarks or Bookmarks to store citations?If it is Bookmarks, you should switch to ReferenceMarks, because Bookmarks are prone to exactly the type of corruption you are describing.If it is ReferenceMarks see debugging broken documents.

    I tried the following, below.Initially it worked.But then the same old crap returned.

    a."ReferenceMarks" was already correctly chosen.So I then went to the 'debugging' site.
    b.In a blank document, "Track changes" was already turned on.I created four text entries (test 2-1, test 2-2, test 2-3, test-4) and then four dummy references..The corresponding bibliography was produced correctly.
    c.After deactivating "track changes" in the new file, I re-ordered the text entries (test 2-1, test 2-4, test 2-3, test-2) and hit "refresh".The bibliography was then correctly re-sorted.
    d.188BET靠谱吗I created a duplicate file, which included the original Zotero references.
    "Track changes" had already been activated in the duplicate file, but deactivating it produced no changes.
    e.In the _duplicate_, but not the original, activating "accept all changes" cleaned up the duplicate references.

    Thanks for your help,

    This is awful.It won't even let me "unlink" the citations so that I can start all over again.
    3333 3 3 33 3333333333 3 3 33 33333333333333
    I've wasted my morning.
  • Neither can I erase the library to start over again.188BET靠谱吗The same old nonsense message comes back, and Zotero just keeps up with its numerical nonsense.It was finally necessary to do a force quit it stop it.
  • Don't erase the library.

    The Troubleshooting Errors in Word Processor Documentssteps explain how to isolate pretty much any problem so that you can either fix it yourself or email us a document excerpt to look at.You'll need to follow those steps to the end.
