What it does

Written by AI from the README

Shows chosen Zotero tags as spreadsheet-style columns in the item list, which you can edit with a click. Fields can be single-choice, multiple-choice, numeric or text, and edited in batches. Values stay as native tags, with an SQLite mirror. Needs Zotero 10.

Zotero tags are a flat list, which is awkward for rating, status or type. Structured columns let you annotate a literature table quickly, and everything still syncs as tags.
