Zotero doesn't take into account document's preferences "automatically update references" #1560

I have an odm master document for which I don't want Zotero to lookup every reference and try to update them. So I setted up the document's preferences (and each subdocument actually) so that Zotero doesn't update the references. But as soon as I try to have a bibliography in that master document, Zotero looks for every reference in all the subdocuments and update them, even though I setted the preference in the master document to "not update references". And even when I click "Yes" for do not modify the reference, Zotero's behaviour is exactly the same as if I would have click on "No": it modifies the reference, like putting the parenthesis back, adding or removing spaces.

Please post bug reports to the Zotero Forums, not this tracker.

(We do not recommend using master and child documents with Zotero. Inserting bibliography will trigger a full document update, this is by design. It seems that while automatically update references is enabled, the choice to not update references is ignored. See #1561)
