NEED a Serial or Journal Item record type!
Please! Can someone take a book item structure and make a Serials Item type. You can add a Beginning date (y or m/y or d/m/y) and Vol (and issue) and Ending Date & Vol. it would be good if we have a Y/N ceased confirmation field. And replace ISBN field with ISSN. So people can catalog their collections and I can trace a serial and journal title.
What do Serials people do for cataloging collections? Is there another open software that can help me?

Zotero is hard enough to have contributors learn how to add records without having to tell them that we can't put the title in the title field, but to use the Series field instead. Unless I can reorder how the fields appear in the record. (Can I do that?).
I would be very happy to talk to someone about record design for development. Or if I can talk to someone about what I'm trying to do so you tell me a better way to do it.
So, for example:
Title: Journal of Applied Psychology
Volume: 1-10
Editor: Smith || John
For date ranges, enter them in Extra like this:
Issued: 1910/1920
This will yield reasonable citations. The people working on CSL are familiar with the general needs, but if you want to give a list of fields you would find necessary, feel free to respond here: https://github.com/citation-style-language/zotero-bits/issues/23
E.g. something like a Y/N ceased confirmation field -- I totally understand why this is relevant for someone who catalogs or researches serials, but I just don't see that happening in a general purpose reference manager.
1) Will all the tabs and fields be transferable?
1) Where can I find guidance about setting up a transfer from Zotero into spreadsheet?
If you check the export notes box, notes should export, yes. Related unfortunately not -- that would be a good bit harder to do, especially in a useful way.
