Unable to locate DOI field
While I am able to search for items using the DOI number, I am unable to locate the DOI field (referred to in the manual)in my Zotero database. I am using v. 4.0.8. I would love to be able to manually add a DOI number wherever possible, but I only get the choice of URL (in most item types) or ISBN. So:
- is is possible to make the DOI field visible (or do I have to add the DOI number in the URL field)?
Thanks for your help - I have been searching the forum for help but couldn't find an answer really.

This is an old discussion that has not been active in a long time. Before commenting here, you should strongly consider starting a new discussion instead. If you think the content of this discussion is still relevant, you can link to it from your new discussion.
But even more than that I'd like to have them as a column to display and sort on. I've got everything organized by DOI, a whole filesystem in fact. Zotero will obviate that in time but the transition would be helped if DOIs were more better exposed. Cheers.
I think a DOI column was explicitly rejected when we added new columns, as it's a pretty random set of numbers that aren't particularly well suited for sorting. You're the first person to ever ask for that.
I doubt it's going to be this year, though.
DOI -- does not contain -- 10.
