Zotero Sentence Case

One of the best function of Zotero -- Sentence Case!

I think there is a style in EndNote that may serve similar purpose -- but I am not sure if you can stop the style to create reference list with title like "Social pretend play in Korean‐ and Anglo‐American preschoolers" to "Social pretend play in korean‐ and anglo‐american preschoolers". If it is just a style but not changing the title stored, users may need to manually capitalize some titles every time they refresh the reference list. While Zotero sentence case would also automatically convert those K and A in the data to k and a, but I can manually capitalize the K and A easily without worrying to change that again each time I cite in a new manuscript...

(there was also a similar style file for Zotero when it didn't have the sentence case function, but due to the issue mentioned for EndNote above, I end up just change that manually. that's why I am really happy with this new function...)
