Hello,
I want to know how to get the parentitem of annotation?
When I select a annotation
code: annoitem = item.parentItem
if (annoitem) {
let creators = annoitem.getCreators();
year = Zotero.Date.strToDate(annoitem.getField("date")).year
if (creators.length > 0) {
let firstAuthorLastName = creators[0].lastName;
authors = firstAuthorLastName + " et al.";
} else {
authors = "No authors found.";
}
} else {
authors = "Parent item not found.";
}
this will display "No authors found."

The annotation’s parent is the attachment it’s on, and the attachment’s parent (if it has one) is the item.
