Where is the locator called "Number"?

I am running Zotero on two computers. Zotero is up to date on both.

On the one computer, when I add a citation, one of the options in the locator drop down in "Number." But on the other computer, "Number" isn't an option.

What am I doing wrong?

Can you provide a Report ID and screenshot of the drop-down from the computer where you're not seeing it?

Yes!

And from the one where you're seeing Number? Number isn't a valid locator, though it's possible some other locator is localized as "Number" in some locale.

Are you thinking of "Issue"?

Yes, here you go:

For what it's worth, I really like the "Number" functionality; I just wish it worked on both.

It looks like one has "Issue" and the other has "Number". How do I make them both have "Number"?

Right, so "Number" is from Zotero 7.0.5 from over a year ago. "Issue" is the correct locator name.
