When I save a database (such as: ConsensusPathDB) to Zotero, the item was saved as a web page. Shell we add a new item type, database, in the next version? Thank you.
There will be a dataset item type which should cover databases pretty well. Note that the existence of an item type does not guarantee items are imported correctly, though. In fact, most databases will likely continue to import as webpages and you'd need to manually modify the citation.
In the latest verson of Zotero (v.6.0.8), I'm afarid I can't find any "dataset" or "database" items in the type menu. (Maybe that's because I'm a Chinese version user and the item didn't be localization properly?)
No, you are not missing anything. The new item type has not yet been added to Zotero... it is expected to happen at some point in the future but the Zotero team generally avoids promises about the timing of new features.
Alright... thank you for your reply, anyway. I found that there are hundreds of issues in the GitHub repo, that't toooooooooo many and it indeed to make the Zotero team to deal with. Thank you all for your contribution!
I just ran into the lack of a database or dataset item type as well. Modulo the classification as a Journal Article, the Save to Zotero plugin correctly grabbed all the metadata from the institutional repository I was looking at, which is great. However, when I tried to change the item type to something a bit more accurate (Webpage), Zotero also tried to remove the DOI field, which is counterproductive.

Hope every common item type could be found in the menu.
