Year and Journal abbr info not displayed after importing from endnote

rmjohn
Hi, I imported all my endnote references into zotero. All references were imported successfully. However, I dont see the Year and Journal Abbr info for a number of entries even though the information does exsit for each entry which I can see on the right hand side panel. I mean I can see this information for the particular citation on the right hand side of zotero panel but it does not appear under year and Journal abbr in the middle column. Is it a bug or I am missing something.

    1) Does this still occur after a restart of Firefox?

    2) If so, what's the item type (book, journal article, etc.) of an item for which this occurs?

    Yes it does even after restarting FF.
    I exported from endntoe X1 as an RIS .txt file. file is imported into zotero without any problems and the references on RHS do have all the necessary information except the file attachments I had with the endnote. But Journal Abbr in middle column in zotero is not being displayed for all the references. It included book, journal, etc.

    The Year column in the middle pane comes from the Date column in the right pane. The Journal Abbr column comes from the Journal Abbr in the right pane, which only exists for journals and won't always be filled in.

    Are you saying that you see values in those particular fields in the right pane for items that don't show values in the middle pane?

    A screenshot might be helpful.

    Thanks. I see that the Journal abbr in the right pane is empty as well. But the publication field in the right pane is filled. So I assumed that the Journal abbr is taken from the field publication. Sorry for not being more conscious about it.

    Journal Abbr comes from the original data source, not from Publication (though there's been talk of adding a predefined set of journal abbreviations).
