Upgrade StorageCreate "book part" out of a book with publisher
Hey guys,
I'm new to using Zotero and I really love it! Thank you all for this awesome tool!
But there is also one comfort-feature which feels quite cruel to me and which I'm missing so far (or I'm just too stupid to find it):
I have several books in my library which where not written by the same person who published them and which contain many parts/texts I want wo quote. So I entered the books with its publisher(s).
Now I want to add the relevant "book-parts" to my library to quote texts from the separate authors within those books. Why is there no easy feature to create "book-parts" out of a book which already exists within my library, which automatically copies the information (booktitle, publisher, date, ...) from the original book over to the new "book-part"?
This really feels like unnecesary work to me, especially if you have to create 3 or more "book-parts" which belong to the same book and always have to enter the information from scratch.
(I hope my problem is understandable despite my limited english-skills xD)

The Zutilo plugin also has a shortcut that does all of those steps together in one button (as well as creating an item for the whole Book out of a Book Section item).
(If you'd prefer to write in a different language, feel free. There are people who read most European languages on these forums.)
As I said - I was just too stupid to find it :D
That solved my problem, but I think a dedicated feature/button, which also deletes the publishers of the duplicated book from the newly created "book section" would be a great comfort for future releases.
