// Delete tags, based on Replace tags
// This script removes all tags from the specified Zotero items, except those in the ignore list.
// add tags you wish to keep to `ignoreTags` list, the list is prefilled with two examples

// Modify this line 👇
const ignoreTags = ['Important article', 'Reviewed'];

// Initialize `targetItems` to the array of `items`, or if `items` is undefined,
// use the single `item` wrapped in an array. If neither exists, default to an empty array.
let targetItems = items || (item ? [item] : []);

// Show an alert message
// Comment this line 👇 if you want to get rid of the confirmation popups
await Zotero.alert(null, "Delete all tags except ignored ones");

// Iterate over each item in the `targetItems` array.

// Retrieve all tags associated with the current item.
// Use `.getTags()` to get tag objects, and map to their `tag` property to get tag names.
const tags = currentItem.getTags().map(tag => tag.tag);

// Iterate over each tag in the list of tag names.
for (const tag of tags) {
