Summary

Depending on the circumstances, Notero can sometimes end up creating duplicate Notion pages for a given Zotero item. To address this issue as requested in #252, this PR adds a utility function for finding duplicate pages based on a specific database property.

There is no UI created for this utility yet. This is a first iteration to test the efficacy of this approach based on user feedback.

Usage

The utility function can be called via the Run JavaScript window available from the menu: Tools → Developer → Run JavaScript.

Paste the following code into the window, ensure the "Run as async function" option is enabled, and click the Run button at the top left. This will return page titles that appear in the database multiple times.

return await Zotero.Notero.findDuplicates();

To find duplicates based on a different database property, pass the property name to the findDuplicates function. For example, to find duplicates with the same Zotero URI, use the following code.

return await Zotero.Notero.findDuplicates('Zotero URI');

You can then use the results to search for the duplicate pages in Notion.
