[Feature wanted] Add cite field to the column

[youqingxiaozhua]

Thans for the great work! I understand that there is no similar field in zotero, it is okey to store the meta data in the extra field, but could we add a field to the column like the "Citekey" does? It will be much helpful.

@youqingxiaozhua, this is a persistent request from the community for Zotero...
For e.g., see zotero forum discussion #11522: Create "Times Cited" column and field. Or #15636.
Or #65301. In #65301, according bwiernik, this feature is planned for the future.
As noted in on the commonly requested features page, adding custom fields is difficult to implement as Zotero is designed for collaboration, synchronization, automatic bib generation. For now, it is recommended to use the Extra field, and organize it in such a way that you can extract data from it yourself.

This is something that can't be implemented in this add-on. It is something for the Zotero devs.

Though in a recent zotero forum post, someone made an add-on to create a "special Tags" column. Not sure how that works.

Edit: to make an feature request for Zotero, see this page.

Isn't that already possible in Zotero 6? For example, the scite addon adds a couple of columns to Zotero:
