Book section citation - how do I add authors of the BOOK, not the section?

ianhurley

When I add a book section, the right pane allows me to add authors, but those are authors for the article. I want to add the authors of the book from which the article is taken too. But there is seemingly no place to add them.

Is there a way to do this in Zotero without having to manually add it in my written documents?

With the item-type "book section" the title field is for the book chapter title. Authors of the chapter go to the Author field.

To the left of the Author field label is a tiny triangle. click the triangle and you have the option of entering the book author name or book editor name.

edit:
You can add additional authors / editors / creators by clicking on the + icon at the far right of the last author on the list.
