Citation as note title

[baileymh]

Hey, thanks for the work you do, this has helped me a lot with doing my research.

Would it be possible at all to import notes with their title as a citation?

For example, instead of Mayo.etal.,(2018) (the citekey), I get Mayo et al., (2018)

Basically, just the need the shortened authors (with et al. if more than 2), spaced, and the year in parentheses.

Hi, could you please provide me another example of the issue? I'm not sure I full understand what would you like

I'd like a way to specify the title of the note being created from Zotero, to be in the form of a proper citation.

By default, the citekey looks like CorbinAnderson2016 or Smithetal2019. I'd like a way to have the title of the note being created to include spaces and breaks of the authors, specifically to match a proper citation format, such as Corbin and Anderson (2016) or Smith et al. (2019)

The rule would basically be: If its <=2 authors, both last names are listed, if its >2, only the first author's last name, followed by "et al.", then followed by the year in ( ).

Hope that helps?

I've tried what I can from the BetterBibTeX addon for Zotero, to change the citekey itself to be closer to what I want, but spaces are not allowed and are always removed. So, the closest I can get is something like Corbin.Anderson.(2016).
