This is a report, but the Report type does not have the Report Section related type like Book Section. In the report, one cannot specify editors or the report title. What to do? Listing this as a Book is not right but is it avoidable?

You can probably treat it like a Book Section?

I can but this will break the smart searches, remove report-related properties, etc., will introduce subjectivity into type selection requiring additional written principles in teams and additional training. etc. Any chance for an additional type?

I don't see us introducing chapters of reports as an item type. It's just not very common and I don't see how this is meaningfully different from a chapter in am edited book. The underlying CSL type is just 'chapter'.

Item types aren't the only way, of course, to categorize items in Zotero
