RIS Import: Wrong creator types
I have authors entered in the author fields for these citation types:
Bill, Map, Artwork, Hearing, Interview, Computer Program
...however no author comes over to the middle pane in the creator field and thus they sort to the very bottom of the list/pane. I imported these (plus many more types that worked just fine) from an RIS file.
Are these citation types legit? What field needs to be populated to get something in the creator field?
Thanks in advance.

Zotero version 2.1.8
A Map has "Cartographer" - which shows up in the author column - and a Computer Program has "Programmer" (which also shows up in the creator column) - I assume the other items have similar name fields - at least those two don't have an author field. "Contributor" never shows up - neither in the middle column nor in citations..
Thank you! And sorry for the silly question.

could you maybe change the title of this thread to something like
"RIS Import: Wrong creator types"
so it attracts the right people? (I think you can do that by editing the first post).
Thanks again for everything!
It should start working again. If this works for you, please post here so that I can submit this change to be pushed to all users.
I'd prefer a more generic solution - maybe Dan or Simon could say if that's sufficiently easy so that it could happen in the near future. If not I fear we'll have to go the hard way - I can probably help you make the list - shouldn't take too long using Franks mappings.
