PubMed: nbib vs browser icon Case type vs Article type (inconsistent import)
7.0.0-beta.79+95d5a5417
When the record is imported as one of many in an nbib file it appears as a Case type without a journal name but when individually imported via the Zotero browser icon it arrives as a journal article.
This isn't a one time problem but will always happen when the nbib PT also includes "Legal Case" in addition to "Journal Article".
I think that the correct citation type should be journal article. Shouldn't the Case type be reserved for something else? Should this be CSL legal_case even though it is listed that way only as a second tag? The bibliographic information is more complete with the Article type (see below). Indeed, if the dual purpose of a citation is attribution and findability, the Case type provides neither. In any event, I want my Zotero record to be the Article type and when I do an nbib import and see the Case type, I must edit the record (or re-import via the browser icon) to make it contain all needed metadata.

Is this something that can be resolved by changes to rendering of the CSL style? I'd rather it be handled upon import.
Thanks
