Thesis entries should have "place" and "department" fields

mdoube
I'd like to format citations of theses as per these examples from PLoS Medicine and PLoS ONE, but they require place and / or department information, which currently aren't included in Zotero's Thesis type (v 1.5-sync3.2).

Britt BB (1993) Pneumatic postcranial bones in dinosaurs and other archosaurs [PhD thesis]. Calgary: University of Calgary.

Minja H (2001) Introducing insecticide treated mosquito nets in the Kilombero Valley (Tanzania): Social and cultural dimensions [PhD thesis]. Swiss Tropical Institute, University of Basel.

    Was anything ever done about this? It's been almost four years, and the Thesis template still has no separate field for a department.

    Are we to supposed to include the department in the University field? If so, then the label for the field is a misnomer.

    Besides, what if some bibliographic styles want the department included in the reference and other styles do not?

    place is now there, department isn't - having department separately is a major undertaking, because there also isn't a CSL variable for it, so yes, I'd put the department in the University field.
