Connector issue - Water (MDPI)

LiborA
Import from Water journal is incorrect. I tried the article from https://www.mdpi.com/2073-4441/12/11/3204 and in the record in Zotero are these errors:
1. missing ISSN
2. wrong URL ("10.3390/w12113204" instead of "https://www.mdpi.com/2073-4441/12/11/3204/")

    The missing ISSN is universal among MDPI journals. Their metadata doesn't include that in any of their citation or header. This is especially inconvenient because the ISSN isn't even available on the article webpage but is only on the journal homepage.

    I've written to the publisher about this and in reply they asked why I wanted the ISSN. I replied that I use the ISSN as the primary journal identifier in my database table because there can be differences in titles. That was over a year ago.
