I am having a problem with APA citation with series names and volumes

Hi:
zotero generates
Author, A. A., Author, B. B., & Author, C. C. (1996). Title of book(edition, Vol. 1). City, Country: Publisher.

when it should generate

Author, A. A., Author, B. B., & Author, C. C. (1996). Title of book: Vol. 1. Title of series (edition). City, Country: Publisher.
  • I've removed the series title from APA a while ago:

    As I say there, I'm willing to put it back in in there's compelling information that book series should be cited in general (and not just in some rare cases) in APA. Should the volume always be displayed as per above, or is that specific to a volume in a series?
  • I've tracked this down, in case it comes up again:
    For the example above
    Title of book: Vol. 1. Title of series
    should be entered into the title field of Zotero. All of this is the title of the book.

    Zotero correctly cites a volume from a multivolume book as per
