Cannot Interview Import via RIS

edited today at 12:17pm
Hello,
I’ve searched extensively on the forums and the web, but can’t find a solution. The Interview exists in Zotero as a item type. But when I export an interview item from Zotero, it’s exported as a PCOMM type. However, when I import this exported record, it’s imported as a Letter. The INTV item type is defined for the interview at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RIS_(file_format), and I used that as well. However, it is imported to Zotero as a journal article. When I look at the RIS.js file, I see that the INTV type isn't there. Perhaps this could be added as a solution. PCOMM, on the other hand, works differently when exporting/importing. In conclusion, is it possible to import an interview in RIS format to Zotero?
  • What's the goal? RIS isn't well defined and import/export will always be lossy.

    But it does look like the Wikipedia article tracked down a newer version of Endnote's RIS import/export than what's currently implemented in Zotero, which we can probably adapt.

    I developed a style for the company I work for. I prefer JSON. This works without loss, but RIS is also required. If I can't find another solution, I'll notify the organization that Interview requires manual correction at least now. Thank you for your answer too.
