--- Comment #2 from Stian Øby Johansen <[email protected]> ---
Thanks for the prompt reply - and sorry if I wrote too much! Just wanted to
state my case clearly, as I figured the chances of success would be better ;-)

Just tested your suggested workaround, and it did not work much better than the
suggestion on the Zotero forums, which was to save as a word document and then
open again in Libreoffice and save back to an ODT. Both have the disadvantage
of not perfectly preserving formatting.

This was my experience with your suggested workaround, cut + paste special
(Crtl+Shift+V):
- Paste as "Libreoffice Writer": Does not remove field codes at all (as should
be expected)
- Paste as "Formatted text (RTF)": Best variant. Removes field codes and
perserves formatting for e.g. ciations, but does change up some of my heading
styles. In other words, not perfect, but an OK workaround.
- Paste as "HTML": A bit worse than the RTF paste option, as it changes the
spacing between paragraphs and footnotes in my test documents. Does remove
field codes nicely, though.
- Paste as "unformatted text": Removes all formatting, including the footnotes
themselves - therefore useless for these purposes.


Thanks again for replying, and for your suggestion. It works as an barely
sufficient(temporary) workaround, but we should also have the perfect solution:
a Libreoffice feature :-)
