Error with Report and Conference Paper item type in Chicago Manual of Style 17th edition (full note,

According to Turabian 17.7.3, the Report style should present the title of the report in italics. The Chicago Manual of Style 17th edition (full note, short title subsequent) style in Zotero presents it between quotes "Being Christian in Western Europe" both in the footnotes (full and short) and in the bibliography.

Turabian 17.7.2 lists that a Conference Paper should state the kind/status of paper (Draft Paper, Final Paper, etc.) as a separate item before the conference name, but I see no place to enter this information separately in Zotero and have it be shown in the proper place. Equally, the date format shows only the year in footnotes and the bibliography, although, I've entered the complete date in Zotero. This also occurs both in the footnotes (full and short) and in the bibliography.

Here are the corrected entries for an assignment I recently completed:

Report:

Footnote: Pew Research Center, Being Christian in Western Europe (Washington, DC: Pew Research Center, May 29, 2018), 161.

Bibliography: Pew Research Center. Being Christian in Western Europe. Washington, DC: Pew Research Center, May 29, 2018.


Conference paper:

Footnote: Evert Van de Poll, “Defining ‘Nominal’ Christianity” (Pre-Conference Draft, Global Consultation on Nominalism of the Lausanne Movement, Rome, March 18, 2018), 12.

Bibliography: Poll, Evert Van de. “Defining ‘Nominal’ Christianity.” Pre-Conference Draft for the Global Consultation on Nominalism of the Lausanne Movement. Rome, March 18, 2018.
