Editor field in Book Section

If you use the Book Section template there doesn't seem to be a field to include the editors of the book as well as the author of the chapter?

    If you click on the word "Author," a dropdown box appears with "Editor" as an option. Is that what you are looking for?

    Thanks for that - much appreciated - hadn't noticed the dropdown :-)

    Actually, I had a related question: I note that you can add a second "author," and make that person an editor -- handy for when dealing with a collected volume. But will it be recognized and placed in the right place when exported? Here's a sample (Chicago style) of target output:

    Wiese, Andrew. “‘The House I Live In’: Race, Class, and African American Suburban Dreams in the Postwar United States.” In The New Suburban History, edited by Kevin M. Kruse and Thomas J. Sugrue, 99–119. Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2006.

    For this, I'd input Wiese as "author," but Kruse and Sugrue as editors. But when I export this to form a bibliography, will the export function pull the "editor" from the field and put it in the correct spot? Or would it all get bunched up with the Author's name?

    Yes.

    Fan-freakin'-tastic. I love you people.
