[Feature Request] Capitalize first letter after ":" as per APA guidelines

[helsingi]

Describe the feature

Hi, I was happy to find your plugin to convert all of my Titles into sentence case because that's what APA recommends. But now I need to go through the 700+ items to capitalize the first letter after the colon ":" when available in the title.
Is there, or are you planning to add a feature to help with this?
Thanks

Also, not sure if I should open another issue for this, but would be great to capitalize first letter of countries/cities as well, even in sentence case.

Thanks, so I have to do it manually

My be write a small script, and use 'Run JavaScript' in 'Tools' -> 'Developer'.

such as:

const items = Zotero.getActiveZoteroPane().getSelectedItems();
for (const item of items) {
    const title = item.getField('title')
    console.log(title)
    const shortTitle = title.split(': ')[1]
    console.log(shortTitle)
    item.setField('shortTitle', shortTitle)
    await item.saveTx()
}

Note: I didn't test this in detail, you'll need to try it with a very small portion of items first to confirm compliance before processing in large batches. It is best to backup your database before processing.

Subsequent plugins might consider adding automatic interception of the title after the colon to fill in the short title. But I'm too busy in the near future to make it happen anytime soon.
