Upgrade StorageAuto metadata for PDFs on iOS
The [documentation](https://www.zotero.org/support/attaching_files) says:
>If you save a PDF directly to your library, Zotero will attempt to retrieve metadata for it and create a parent item automatically. If the item can't be recognized, you'll be left with a standalone attachment. You can add a parent by either saving an item from the web and dragging the PDF on top of it (if a PDF isn't attached automatically) or by right-clicking on the PDF, choosing Create Parent Item, and entering an identifier such as a DOI or ISBN. If all else fails, you can click Manual Entry after selecting Create Parent Item and manually enter metadata for the item.
However, the iOS version does not seem to either attempt to retrieve metadata and create a parent item automatically from an imported PDF, or to be able to look up metadata from identifiers when choosing Create Parent Item.

benediktpvrThis is important to me too.

bcricketI’m really enjoying the new iOS app but the lack of this feature makes it much less useful while traveling.

dstillmanYes, PDF metadata retrieval on iOS will obviously be added — it just doesn't exist yet. No need to request it.

CalorionWell, it’s hard to know without a list somewhere.
