RIS fields

Hello. In importing references into Zotero from an RIS-formated TXT file, not all of the fields are displayed in Zotero. If the following reference is imported, how do I display the "ID" field in Zotero (I currently do not see it on any line in the third pane)?

TY - JOUR
AU - Lam, W.-K.F.
AU - Pedigo, L.P.
PY - 2000
TI - A predictive model for the survival of overwintering bean leaf beetles (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae)
SP - 800-806
JF - Environmental Entomology

N1 - Bean leaf beetle

Thank you.
  • You currently don't. See:

    for example.


    You can remap the key to place it in a different field, such as 'extra' or as a note.

    This is the same with all formats that allow a local ID. There is a work-around to make the BibTeX citekey work & perhaps the other importers should be adjusted to store the ID in the same fashion.

    Eventually, there will be a formal mechanism to store this:

  • Thanks. Any idea what the tag code is for "extra". I can't seem to find it.
  • Thanks. I'll give that a try.
  • M1 worked like a charm! Just did a find and replace in the RIS file prior to import.
