Upgrade StorageBlogs in bibliography with Chicago Manual 17th edition, author-date
I am trying to create a reference for a blog using Zotero for Word with the Chicago style. Reading through the code, it looks like it should add "(blog)" after the blog title. However, when I tag a document as 'Blog Post' in Zotero and create a bibliography (Chicago 17th-author-date), it does not add "(blog)".
The CSL says:
'if type="post-weblog"
text value="(blog)"'
An example:
Biru, Hana, and Joe Thwaites. 2015. “INSIDER: Examining Finance Needs in Countries’ National Climate Plans (INDCs).” November 27, 2015. http://www.wri.org/blog/2015/11/insider-examining-finance-needs-countries’-national-climate-plans-indcs.
Am I doing something wrong? Or is there a way to modify the CSL to get it to print "(blog)"?
The Chicago Manual itself suggests adding (blog) is optional, but I would prefer to have it as the default.
Thank you in advance.

I've just tried this with you with some random citation. Comes out like this:

Good to know. Thank you damnation for looking into this. I will add this to the tips for authors for my organization.
That seems to appear if you fill in the 'Website Type' field with the entry 'Blog'.
If I leave the 'Website Type' blank, I get the following, which is what I want:
Lewis, Tim. 2017. “‘How I Caught a Serial Killer – and Lost My Career in the Police.’” The Guardian (blog). June 25, 2017. https://www.theguardian.com/global/2017/jun/25/catching-a-serial-killer-stephen-fulcher-police.

Extra - I tried both blank and adding Herbert as damnation does - no difference in output.
