Adding Conference Name in Harvard (author-date)

toast
Hi, I'd like to add the 'Conference Name' field in Harvard.

The style I need to achieve is:

Author, Initial., Year Publication. Title of Paper. In: Editor, Initial., ed. Conference Name, Date and Location of Conference. Place of Publication: Publisher, Page Numbers.

(bold added only to highlight the area I'm trying to sort)

I currently add the conference name AND date and location of conference into the 'Proceedings Title' field then manually italicize part of it.

Seeing that nothing I put in 'Conference Name' field ever appears, I thought I could put the Date and Location of Conference into that field but I don't know how to add the field into a style.

Hope that makes some sort of sense, and thanks in advance for any help!

    do you feel comfortable modifying csl?
    If so, the conference name can be called by
    text variable="event"

    Thanks for the reply.

    I have it sorted by creating <else-if type="paper-conference"> before "chapter" (I'm guessing from the way it behaves it default maps to chapter?)

    Many thanks!

    yes, exactly - when there is a default mapping as for conference (chapter) or report (book), that type needs to be called before the default to take effect.
