Best way to submit feature requests?

I have a very small feature request:
Nowadays, software can have DOI but software document type in Zotero does not support the DOI field.
So, the only work around are:
- not recording the DOI in the reference
- record the reference as something else than a software
So my simple request is: Add DOI in the available fields for a software document type
Thanks in advance for taking this into consideration.

DOI will be added to all item types in a future version. For now, you can use "DOI: 10.123/abc…" in Extra to add a DOI.

Hi will there also be such a field for books? Some books also have DOI fields.
Advanced apologies, i did not know if I needed to start a new thread for this or not.

Yes, you can add DOI to Extra for any item, and it will get migrated when a proper field is made.
