Hello all.
I am not able to get the pubmed filter to control the date of publication field as desired.
The tag line looks like:
DP - 2015 Mar
The import filter has:
DP - Year
DP - Year Date
This results in the year in the Year field and the month in the Date field. Not what I want. I want just the year in the Year field.
I tried:
DP - Year {IGNORE}
DP - Year Date
This ends up importing nothing. I don't understand.
Can someone please help?
Thanks much, respectfully,
IMF

Hi again.
Actually what I really want is the year in the Year field and the entire year and month in the Date field.
Thanks,
IMF

The year and month is stored in the same DP-tagged field with just a blank space (and no delimiter/punctuation) separating the two pieces of information. This makes it difficult to parse each piece into a separate Endnote field (Year, Date).
As a workaround you could:
06-27-2017 06:10 PM
Thanks all. I will try this.
I still don't understand why
year {IGNORE}
imports nothing. Anybody know?
Thanks,

Endnote’s [IGNORE] command forces the program to ignore importing pieces of unwanted information. In your case, the import tag and data field DP - Year {IGNORE} instructs Endnote to ignore importing data into the Year field which is why nothing is imported.
