Zotero PlugIn for Only office - connection to the local zotero

On ONLYOFFICE, the Zotero plugin, on my system cannot retrieve the right fields for citations when it is connected to the local Zotero with its local database.

The local zotero is in sync with the only zotero account.

When using the API key in ONLYOFFICE (and therefore breaking the link to the local zotero) the citation works perfectly.

The bibliography is inserted as a single paragraph, both with local and with cloud zotero, this is not really part of this topic, but worthwhile mentioning.

The discussion centers around the support for the ONLYOFFICE Zotero plugin. ONLYOFFICE TEAM notes that the plugin only works with Zotero when using cloud storage, not with locally stored data. USER adds that the local version seems to be passing incorrect data fields, impacting the bibliography style. They confirm that the online version works smoothly but prefer the local one. Contantine requests user to specify the version of the plugin being used, which is confirmed as 1.0.8 running with ONLYOFFICE 9.4.0.129. Constantine suggests that this may be a bug and recommends starting a new topic for issues related to local Zotero functionality.

Hi @ReferOnly,

Regarding the bibliography being inserted as a single paragraph — this has been fixed in Zotero plugin version 1.0.9. Please update the plugin and let us know if it helps.

As for the incorrect citation fields when using the local Zotero connection — could you share a screenshot comparing the same citation inserted via the local Zotero and via the cloud API key? If I understand correctly, you are using the Desktop Editors — could you also confirm the version along with the Zotero plugin version?
