Changing "Status Name" resets the position of the "Read Status" column and ignores "Read Status Column Format"

[odysseus90210]

I had dragged the "Read Status" column so that it was third in position from the left, after "Creator" and "Year." "Read Status Column Format" was set to "Show only icon" with the extension icon as column header. After changing one of the custom reading status names from "To Read" to "Must Read," the Read Status column reset by moving to the 4th (rightmost) position and the "Show only icon" setting was no longer heeded.

Thanks for the detailed error report!

I can reproduce the position of the Read Status column changing when it's refreshed (when you change any of the read status names, or formatting). I think this is just a bug with custom columns in Zotero, but I'll have a check to see if there's any workaround. Just to confirm, it doesn't change position when you restart Zotero does it?

I can't reproduce the "show only icon" setting being reset when the read status column is updated though. Does the same thing happen for you when you perform the same set of steps again? If so, do you see anything in the Zotero error console (Tools > Developer > Error Console)? Are you using the latest version of the extension?

@Dominic-DallOsto I also suffer from this issue. This may be not bug in Zotero. I also use the Zotero Style, which does not exist such problem. The position of the column "Read Status" of your plugin always change after restarting the Zotero.
Here is the adapted column order:

After I restart the Zotero, its order become:

How to solve it ? Thanks a lot!

OS: Windows 11

Sorry for the delay!

Just to check whether this is the same issue as #66 - are you using the Zotero Citation Count Manager plugin?

If so, could you try disabling it and seeing whether the problem still occurs?

If not, could you try disabling all plugins except this one and see whether that resolves the problem?
