skip extra information, such as abstract, when exporting into a .bib file

a discussion in Zotero's forum, https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/22629/bibtex-export-request-option-to-omit-certain-fields-for-less-cluttered-bibliographies
and someone mentions the plugin https://github.com/retorquere/zotero-better-bibtex/
the setting can be found in Edit > Preferences

citation key

the default citation key is [auth:lower][shorttitle3_3][year], but there are already several papers using zotero's citation, so I set it as [zotero] as said in https://retorque.re/zotero-better-bibtex/installation/

omit fields

abstract,file
then export as usual, but change the format from the default BibLaTeX to Better BibLaTeX

automatic export

note that when selecting the exporting format is Better BibLaTeX, there will be an option keep updated, which will enable the file update if there are references changed. The status would be shown in the preferences,
