Moving from Endnote - can't remap XML export field to "extra"?

mickeyjuiceman
G'day guys,

have a no-doubt-simple issue here giving me grief.

In Endnote there is a field "label" which doesn't exist in Zotero.

I have been using this field so that I can show articles in multiple EN "smart groups" (effectively "saved searches" in Z) like thesis reading, Advocacy Journalism, thesis possibles, and so on.

I have exported from EN as an XML, which everything I've read says is the optimal format to use.

How it exports (relevant code snippets):

<label><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Research</style></label>

This give me an error message as a note:

"The following values have no corresponding Zotero field:
label: Research"

If I then edit the XML in Notepad++ to change the value "label" to "extra":

<extra><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Research</style></extra>

I get a similar error message to the above:

"The following values have no corresponding Zotero field:
extra: Research"

However, if I change it to:

<volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Research</style></volume>

It happily places "Research" in the volume field.

I'm happy to feel completely stupid and discover there's a very simple solution to this :-)

Thanks.

I consulted https://aurimasv.github.io/z2csl/typeMap.xml#cslVar-note (among many other pages) to try to find the correct term for "extra."
