Possible Bug in CMoS on macOS Zotero

I've been using Zotero on macOS and noticed a recurring issue with the "Chicago Manual of Style 18th edition (notes and bibliography)" citation style. Specifically, when generating citations, the output repeats the "Issue" information where it should instead display the "Pages".

For example, Zotero generates this:
- Gümüş, Müjde Dila. “The Creation of a Natural History Display at the Yıldız Palace by Fausto Zonaro and Hüseyin Zekâi Paşa.” Sanat Tarihi Yıllığı, no. 32 (June 2023): 32.
But it should be:
- Gümüş, Müjde Dila. “The Creation of a Natural History Display at the Yıldız Palace by Fausto Zonaro and Hüseyin Zekâi Paşa.” Sanat Tarihi Yıllığı, no. 32 (June 2023): 275–303.

Here are the steps I follow:
- Right-click on the item
- Select “Chicago Manual of Style 18th edition (notes and bibliography)” from the list
- Output mode: Bibliography
- Output method: Copy to Clipboard

Interestingly, this doesn't seem to affect all items—but most of them. I suspect it may be related to entries added via Zotero's Chrome extension, but not 100% sure.

I had a similar issue (with a different reference format), and solved it by removing the "Number" entry in the Extra box in Zotero.

Can you share a screenshot of how this is entered in Zotero?

Your issue might involve a different type of Extra entry than the issue I had, but here's the Extra box. Some styles pull various types of info from that box.

It looks as if this is a problem with the website translator. I can confirm that if I visit this page and save the article to Zotero, 32 is correctly added as the issue, but also 'Number: 32' appears in the Extra field:

('Number' in this context is meant to be an article number, as one often sees in journals such as PLoS One.)

Thanks, we're working on a fix for this.

@berilsarisakal, @elichten, @dunning: We've just pushed a fix for the underlying issue that caused items saved from the Connector to get a "Number:" entry in Extra. Items saved in the future won't have this problem. Your Zotero Connector should auto-update within a few minutes, or you can update translators manually from the Advanced pane of the Zotero settings.
