"Contributor" as default creator for presentation

Hello,

When creators are added to a presentation, they are labelled by default as "presenter". In all the presentations I have referenced, there is only one presenter, whereas there can be many contributors. As a result, one has to change by hand the type of most creators to "contributor".

I would suggest to set "contributor" as the default creator type, except maybe for the first one (it is common practice to put the name of the presenter first).

Thanks,

  • Is this information (the names of contributors) for research inside Zotero, or for generating citations? (I ask because the Contributor creator type is not mapped to CSL, and so cannot be used in citations.)
  • Do you enter these presentations by hand into your Zotero library? If so, you can save time by entering the first two names, changing the creator type of the second name to "contributor" and then adding the other names. These should then appear as contributors (the creator type of a new creator follows that of the last creator).
