What happened?

Hello,

I have been using betterbibtex extensively for converting multiple bib(la)tex files for different purposes especially exporting the bib(la)tex file locally and love it! (also in combination with jabref/vim regex for different functionalities I could not find in Zotero)

I created a personal citation key formula for a specific project ...
auth.substring(1,3).upper+year.substring(3,2)+title.skipwords.select(1,1).substring(1,3).upper
... however I'd like an other one for different libraries/collections.

It would be extremely useful if I can assign different formulae to different libraries/collections which the preferences tab suggests: [Citation keys]

Cheers and keep up the good work!

Per-collection is not possible, since the same item can exist in multiple collections. Per-library is in principle possible, I'll look into it, but it'll be a major change, so it's not a short-term thing.

I would like also this. In my case, I have my own citation key, but I am now collaborating with other persons in a survey paper with a shared library and they use a different citation key.
