My solution to this problem is not very elegant but is as follows:
When I import new references (every Monday) I follow a certain procedure in order to customize the references after import. I have already customized the import filter so it puts the grant information in a different field and certain other items in other fields. During this time I also mark each reference for certain characteristics. I have appended to my procedure the bolding oof author names. This is a little cumbersome and is prone to human error, but it is the only solution I have come up with.
I have automated the backup function in X9 (windows) and the script is attached (note that it is written in AutoHotKey - https://www.autohotkey.com/). . ) I also automated, in the same way, the saving of new publications from an outlook email (in Medline format). That script is also in the attached zip file.
