System, language and other not exported on software type #907

Closed RicardoGuzmanVelasco closed 3 years ago

RicardoGuzmanVelasco commented 6 years ago

I have the last Zotero version and I'm working without problems, but some fields are not being exported. The critical of them are in software type, where system and programming language aren't exported. I'm using BibLaTex to export (obviously BetterBibLaTex in fact, but both of them don't export these fields) and I have not these fields in export filter on preferences. Other fields of software type, as location, are exported normally, I think.

About system, no idea about how to export it on BibLaTex format.

About programming language, I read that language is only mapped to genre for computerProgram, but genre field isn't being exported neither.

P.S.: sorry bad writing (I'm not English speaker).

Ok, then this is what I’d consider to be the least bad solution for GUI fields BBT currently doesn’t really know what to do with. Users can output any field names they wish, but by default BBT doesn’t clutter bib(la)tex files with field names of its own invention that might even (e.g., when containing underscores) cause problems further down the line.

I'd prefer to do any follow-up discussion (if needed) on #1799 or a new issue. @njbart I've nicked parts of your explanation above for the explanation of the solution/workaround on the scripting page.
