Data

Action Data for COPY tags from item:

// Copy tags. 
// Codes from Zutilo.
// 获取条目tags，并存入剪贴板
var tagsArray = [];
var items = Zotero.getActiveZoteroPane().getSelectedItems();
for (let item of items) {

    if (item.isRegularItem() && !(item instanceof Zotero.Collection)) {

        var tempTags = item.getTags();
        var arrayStr = '';
        for (var j = 0; j < tempTags.length; j++) {
            arrayStr = '\n' + tagsArray.join('\n') + '\n';

            let tag
            tag = tempTags[j].tag

            if (arrayStr.indexOf('\n' + tag + '\n') == -1) {
                tagsArray.push(tag);
            }
        }
    }

}
var clipboardText = tagsArray.join('\r\n');
Zotero.Utilities.Internal.copyTextToClipboard(clipboardText);
return "Tags copied."

Action Data for PASTE tags to item:

// Paste tags
// Codes from Zutilo.
// 从剪贴板获取tags
var clipboardText = Zotero.Utilities.Internal.getClipboard("text/plain").trim()
if (!clipboardText) {
    return false;
}
// 拆分
var tagArray = clipboardText.split(/\r\n?|\n/)
tagArray = tagArray.map(function (val) { return val.trim() });
tagArray = tagArray.filter(Boolean)
// 添加tags
var items = Zotero.getActiveZoteroPane().getSelectedItems();
for (let item of items) {
    if (item.isRegularItem() && !(item instanceof Zotero.Collection)) {
        for (let tag of tagArray) {
            item.addTag(tag)
        }
        item.saveTx()
    }

}
return "Tags pasted."

Anything else

Note that you'll need to create TWO actions, one for copy and one for paste.

有些代码可能不需要，可以自行删除。
需要分别建立两个动作。

这个Quicker动作也可以完成这些动作。

Thanks very much for this; it works when I select the top-level/parent item, but when I try to copy the tags just for a note item (either below the parent item or elsewhere) it returns this (see the screenshot below), am I doing something wrong or do I need to modify the template?

These are the current settings I have:

Again, thank you if you manage to take a look at this at all!!

[dschaehi]

Thanks for the action. I started getting this error recently (e.g. 7.0.0-beta.74+2e8073ab9) when pasting from clipboard:

Script Error:
Cc['@mozilla.org/embedcomp/prompt-service;1'] is undefined

Do you have an idea how to fix this?

[richardlm]

I am getting the same error message.

[redleafnew]

updated

[dschaehi]

It works!

[mjthoraval]

It is not working for me to copy or paste tags on Standalone notes.

[redleafnew]

I think this script only works for regular item tag.

[dschaehi]

For the newest Zotero version I had to change item.isCollection() to item instanceof Zotero.Collection.

[redleafnew]

For the newest Zotero version I had to change item.isCollection() to item instanceof Zotero.Collection.

Thank a lot. Updated.

[wuyulele]

thanks a lot, it used to work, but now it doens't work for 7.0.0-beta.95+694ccecf4. Could you please update the script?

[redleafnew]

For the newest Zotero version I had to change item.isCollection() to item instanceof Zotero.Collection.

[rodrigolourencofarinha]

Here is an updated script working with 7.0.0-beta.101+220bb4383 (64-bit)

// Paste tags
// Codes from Zutilo.

var clipboardText = Zotero.Utilities.Internal.getClipboard("text/plain").trim()
if (!clipboardText) {
    return false;
}

var tagArray = clipboardText.split(/\r\n?|\n/)
tagArray = tagArray.map(function (val) { return val.trim() });
tagArray = tagArray.filter(Boolean)

var items = Zotero.getActiveZoteroPane().getSelectedItems();
for (let item of items) {
    if (item.isRegularItem() && !(item instanceof Zotero.Collection)) {
        for (let tag of tagArray) {
            item.addTag(tag)
        }
        item.saveTx()
    }

}
return "Tags pasted"

[yzotero]

Thanks a lot but the script does not allow to copy and paste tags from the notes in Zotero 7. Updated version would be very much appreciated! Thank you

[redleafnew]

有什么提示吗？

[redleafnew]

I think Zutilo for zoter 7 will release soon.

[redleafnew]

Thanks, unfortunately I don't. Zutilo was great, it allows to copy and paste any tags from anywhere. If you find the script, please let us know. Thanks much in advance!

[Dcrizz]

I managed to get this to work for copying and pasting tags for any item

Copy Tags

// Copy tags.
// Codes from Zutilo.
// 获取条目tags，并存入剪贴板
var tagsArray = [];
var items = Zotero.getActiveZoteroPane().getSelectedItems();
for (let item of items) {
    // Check if the item is not a collection
    if (!item.isAttachment() && !item.isAnnotation()) {
        var tempTags = item.getTags();
        for (var j = 0; j < tempTags.length; j++) {
            let tag = tempTags[j].tag;
            if (!tagsArray.includes(tag)) {
                tagsArray.push(tag);
            }
        }
    }
}
var clipboardText = tagsArray.join('\r\n');
Zotero.Utilities.Internal.copyTextToClipboard(clipboardText);
return "Tags copied.";

Paste Tags:

// Paste tags
// Codes from Zutilo.
// 从剪贴板获取tags
var clipboardText = Zotero.Utilities.Internal.getClipboard("text/plain").trim();
if (!clipboardText) {
    return false;
}
// 拆分
var tagArray = clipboardText.split(/\r\n?|\n/);
tagArray = tagArray.map(function (val) { return val.trim(); });
tagArray = tagArray.filter(Boolean);
// 添加tags
var items = Zotero.getActiveZoteroPane().getSelectedItems();
for (let item of items) {
    // Check if the item is not a collection
    if (!item.isAttachment() && !item.isAnnotation()) {
        for (let tag of tagArray) {
            item.addTag(tag);
        }
        item.saveTx();
    }
}
return "Tags pasted.";

Hope that helps

[yzotero]

You are my savior. Thank you very much!

[EureDudeheit]

Thank you, this works now perfect.
@redleafnew maybe you could update your initial posting?

[redleafnew]

!(item instanceof Zotero.Collection) was used to replace !item.isCollection(), now it works.

[Trebuchosaure]

Hi, thank you very much for the scripts

I get an warning message when I created both actions

This script is using 'ZoteroPane.getSelectedltems`, which is NOT recommended for getting items in scripts and can lead to unexpected behavior. Please use the 'item' or 'item' variables passed to the script instead.

[QuanzhiX]

Try my posted code

[Trebuchosaure]

Hello,
It works perfectly, thanks !

[laroospare]

Hello! This worked for me a few days ago; now when I try it returns script error Zotero.Utilities.Internal.getClipboard (...) is null.

Thanks for all your work on this.

[QuanzhiX]

// Paste tags
// Codes from Zutilo.
// 从剪贴板获取tags

// Ensure 'items' is defined (passed to the script)
if (typeof items === 'undefined' || !items.length) {
    Zotero.debug("No items selected.");
    return false;
}

var clipboardText = Zotero.Utilities.Internal.getClipboard("text/plain").trim();
if (!clipboardText) {
    Zotero.debug("Clipboard is empty.");
    return false;
}

// Split the clipboard text into an array of tags
var tagArray = clipboardText.split(/\r\n?|\n/);
tagArray = tagArray.map(function (val) { return val.trim(); });
tagArray = tagArray.filter(Boolean);

// Add tags to each selected item
for (let item of items) {
    if (item.isRegularItem() && !(item instanceof Zotero.Collection)) {
        for (let tag of tagArray) {
            item.addTag(tag);
        }
        item.saveTx();
    }
}

return "Tags pasted.";

[QuanzhiX]

Sort out the following:

This script is using 'ZoteroPane.getSelectedltems`, which is NOT recommended for getting items in scripts and can lead to unexpected behavior. Please use the 'item' or 'item' variables passed to the script instead.

[amarois]

thanks; I've got the same message "This script is using 'ZoteroPane.getSelectedltems`, which is NOT recommended for getting items in scripts and can lead to unexpected behavior. Please use the 'item' or 'item' variables passed to the script instead." for the Copy script. Did you update this one to ?

[QuanzhiX]

Yes

[bfreed3]

Hi all, I'm just not getting this. Maybe I'm just not versed enough in coding this. I installed the Actions and Tags extension. But in addition to the codes, I also need to know all the other Actions and Tags options to choose for the Copy Tags and the Paste Tags, most notably Operation, Event Menu Label options. . . So this above script works to paste, but what's the parallel script for copying that goes with this? Thanks,

[cpsyctc2]

I am trying to get my head around this but I am still getting the ``error message noted above when I try to create the copy tags action copying the latest copy tags code above. I am new to the plugin and the coding here so I'm at a loss.

[adrianpip2000]

The following two scripts (copied and modified from previous comments) work with Zotero 7.0.11 + Actions & Tags build 2.1.0, and do not cause the warning message This script is using 'ZoteroPane.getSelectedltems', which is NOT recommended (...).

Copy tags

// Copy tags script for Zotero Actions & Tags + Zotero 7
// Code from Zutilo (with modifications)
// 获取条目tags，并存入剪贴板

// Ensure 'items' is defined (passed to the script)
if (typeof items === 'undefined' || !items.length) {
    Zotero.debug("No items selected.");
    return false;
}

// Create empty array of tags
var tagArray = [];

// Copy tags from selected items into array
for (let item of items) {
    if (item.isRegularItem() && !(item instanceof Zotero.Collection)) {
        var tempTags = item.getTags();
        for (var j = 0; j < tempTags.length; j++) {
            let tag = tempTags[j].tag;
            if (!tagArray.includes(tag)) {
                tagArray.push(tag);
            }
        }
    }
}

// Copy tags to clipboard as text
var clipboardText = tagArray.join('\r\n');
Zotero.Utilities.Internal.copyTextToClipboard(clipboardText);

return "Tags copied.";

Paste tags

// Paste tags script for Zotero Actions & Tags + Zotero 7
// Code from Zutilo (with modifications)
