Upgrade StorageCitation for a book chapter of a Non-Edited book?
I use zotero standalone 4.0.27.6. I want to cite a book chapter in a book written by 2 authors and this is not an edited book. i.e. does not contain many chapters written by many authors and the entire book edited by a bunch of editors. It's just a single book.
I began by importing bibliographic information using the ISBN and duplicating that entry and changing its "Item type" to "Book Section". Then I entered the chapter title in the "Title" and the page range in the "Pages" field. My reference style is "American Chemical Society (with titles, sentence case)" Link is https://www.zotero.org/styles/american-chemical-society-with-titles-sentence-case.
Now the problem is the bibliography list generated by Zotero gives me the following:
Atkins, P. W.; De Paula, J. Simple mixtures. In Physical chemistry; W.H. Freeman: New York, 2010; pp 156–208.
where what I want is:
Atkins, P. W.; De Paula, J. Simple mixtures. Physical chemistry, 9th Ed.; W.H. Freeman: New York, 2010; pp 156–208.
To me it looks like that the book is being treated as an edited book (because of "In"). And also the edition number is missing.
Is the problem in Zotero or the style itself ? If it's the style, can someone please tell me how to overcome this?
Thank you.

This is an old discussion that has not been active in a long time. Before commenting here, you should strongly consider starting a new discussion instead. If you think the content of this discussion is still relevant, you can link to it from your new discussion.
I think that I would accomplish what you want by entering both the chapter name and the book title in the book title field. When you insert the citation in your manuscript you should enter the page range there. My method will require a final edit to the bibliography ( after removing the field codes ) to eliminate the italics of the chapter title. (I know that we can temporarily change words to italics form within otherwise plain text but going the other way -- taking a part of automatically formatted text in italics and converting a few words to plain text -- is beyond my knowledge.
It is likely that the real Zotero experts will have a more efficient way to accomplish what you need. I wanted to give you a means of getting what you want if you have a short deadline.
Can you please tell me how to count the number of editors for the book ? If the editors are zero then a conditional can be used inside the "book-container" macro. Am I correct ?
