IEEE: Zotero exports only the title when citing standards

[Split from IEEE citation style standardisation]

Also, when citing standards, the IEEE citation should be

Title of Standard, Standard number, Corporate author, location, date.

However, zotero exports only the title.

    I'm using Zotero v6.0.36 with Word 2010 on Windows 11. When I export to Word using the plug-in, it is showing the Title along with some other fields.

    According to https://ieee-dataport.org/sites/default/files/analysis/27/IEEE Citation Guidelines.pdf an IEEE citation for a Standard is the same as for a Patent. The example they gives is:

    Patent/Standard
    [9] K. Kimura and A. Lipeles, “Fuzzy controller component,” U. S. Patent 14,860,040, 14 Dec., 2006.

    This shows the
    Author, Title, Number, and Date

    Choosing Standard for the Type in Zotero, will offers additional fields, and if they are filled-in, some will appear in the bibliography when exported to Word and the entry in the bibliography will be different than the one above. The Number field for some reason does not export. Choosing Patent for the type will resolve that, and the entry in the bibliography will have Author, Title, Number, and Date.

    However, be aware that IEEE provides a more comprehensive style guide at
    https://journals.ieeeauthorcenter.ieee.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/7/IEEE_Reference_Guide.pdf .
    However, this guide is in conflict with the one given earlier when it states how standards should be referenced. When in doubt, ask your advisor or instructor.
