Perhaps I'm missing the obvious but for book-sections it often does not seem to be clear how one adds the author of the book in which the book-section (like a letter written by someone else) was published.
If I call both the author of the book and the author of the book-section "author," then it appears as if the author of the book would have been the co-author of the book-section (which in many cases would be inaccurate).
At the same time, I cannot differentiate between both by calling the author of the book-section "author" and the author of the book "editor," because the latter did not edit but author the book.
What would be the convention for representing the author of the book here? Any suggestions would be appreciated. -

I don't see how you can do that with the current approach, which essentially takes some short-cuts to say that the author by definition refers to the book.
With the "hierarchical" model that's been under discussion, you'd assign author to the appropriate objects: the source proper and the enclosing book. -

It seems to me that the "book section" is missing an "editors" field. -

Nope--if you mean when you are creating an entry in Zotero, click the "Author:" & select "Editor:". If you mean when you cite it, please list the specific style that lacks tis field.
