Issue with Citation Key Mismatch Between Zotero and Overleaf

[XNewerX]

Hi everyone,

I've searched for a solution but couldn't find anything similar.

I'm using:

Overleaf Premium
Better BibTeX
Zotero 7.0.13
Whenever I add a new reference, the citation key in Zotero differs from the one in the imported .bib file in Overleaf.

For example, when adding the paper "Attention is All You Need":

Citation key in Zotero: vaswaniAttentionAllYou2023
Citation key in the imported .bib file in Overleaf: vaswani_attention_2023
Current workaround: I manually change the citation key in Zotero so that the imported .bib file matches, but this is quite time-consuming.

Has anyone encountered this issue before? Is there a more efficient way to ensure the citation keys remain consistent?

Thanks in advance!

Another option is to set your citekey formula to zotero but that doesn't 100% guarantee the same keys on overleaf because non-pinned keys synced to overleaf using the zotero integration are not guaranteed to be stable (or unique), while BBTs keys are guaranteed to be stable by default.
