Insert Citation not working

What I’m trying to do

I’m doing “Insert Markdown Citation”, and I can insert it (Zotero small window appears for me to select the papers and the bibref appears in the document I’m editing. So, if my bibref is @AuthorTest2024, in the document I can see [@AuthorTest2024]. However, the references panel continues to show “No citations found in the current document” and if I mouse hover the document the message “No citation found for AuthorTest2024” appears.
Any idea on how might I solve this?
(I’m in Macos, with Zotero 6.0.37 with BetterBibtex plugin and Obsidian 1.6.5. with the plugins Citations, Pandoc Reference List, Zotero Integration configured as per online instructions.

Things I have tried

I already searched for all the help and tried different configurations. Both in Pandoc Reference List and in Citations, I tried to pull from Zotero, and indicate a json and/or bib file. I confirmed that the ref exists in those json and bib files, but somehow I can only insert the citation. Then I can’t see a list of citations in the reference panel.

I am having the exact same problem.
Mac OS 14.5
Obsidian 1.6.7
Zotero 6.0.37
BetterBibtex 6.7.218
Pandoc Reference List 2.0.25
Pandoc 0.4.1

It only seems to affect new texts that I have added to Zotero after installing this reference workflow, though.

Provisional work around, I exported the entire zotero library to better bibtex with the “keep updated” option checked during export, and in zotero integration plugin prefs in obsidian I turned off live import from Zotero to work from the bibtex file… which in theory will be updated anytime I change something in Zotero? But presumably that will still only apply to existing files so whenever I add more documents I guess I have to go through this reexport every time? Annoying!
