Conference location and date import fails from RIS records
I have records in RefWorks for conference presentations/proceedings which have the conference location. Exporting as RIS, the conference location exports in RIS CY, Zotero appears to ignore the CY line. Is there another tag I can use to get the conference location to import into "Place" in Zotero?
Often proceedings are published in a different year than the conference, so published volume might be 2015 for a conference taking place 11-15 November 2014. Both dates are needed for a complete citation. I tried PY for the year and Y1 for the conference date, but PY tag was ignored.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

So, if I did want to use the single place field in Zotero to hold the conference location, how should I tag it in my RIS records to get Zotero to ingest it?
There is no field in Zotero for the conference location. If you have the hidden preference 'extensions.zotero.translators.RIS.import.ignoreUnknown' set to false, CY will be imported as an attached note. This is probably the best solution for now.
Are their plans for adding these conference information fields to Zotero/CSL?
CY tags as exported from RefWorks are generally ignored, so
"CY - Portland, Oregon "
disappears in Zotero.
However, in one case while editing, I accidently removed the space following the hyphen after CY, and it did import, so:
CY -Jacksonville, FL
becomes
Place: Jacksonville, FL
When I replaced RefWorks CY with C1, the data were is appended to end of the field listed previously in the record:
PB - IEEE Computer Society <paragraph>
C1 -Los Alamitos, CA, USA <paragraph>
becomes
Publisher: IEEE Computer Society C1 -Los Alamitos, CA, USA
?
C1 - Jacksonville, FL
or tested with a type other than CONF. That is because of the missing space.Here's a minimal example:
TY - CONF
What should happen when you import this is that "Publisher" will be in the publisher field and "Published Location" will be in the place field. "Conference Location" will not be imported unless you have that hidden setting configured correctly.PB - Publisher
CY - Conference Location
C1 - Published Location
ER -
