Journal of the American Chemical Society (JACS) Citation Error
The current style for the Journal of the American Chemical Society is including issue numbers, which is not the correct style for the journal.
The correct style is Lastname, F.N.; Lastname, F.N. Journ. Abbrev. (in italics), year (bold), volume (italics), first page #.
Examples can be seen in the image at the following URL (the paper is from 2015, so it is current).

"For periodicals in which each issue begins with page 1, include issue information (either the number or the date) in the publication volume field. Issue information is set in roman type, enclosed in parentheses, and spaced from the volume number, which it directly follows."
Issues in JACS do not each begin at page 1, they are indeed published continuously throughout each volume.

I have used this Zotero style a lot in the past and never had this issue, it seems to be a relatively recent change (last year or two).
Simply find and delete
<text variable="issue" prefix="(" suffix=")"/>

Is that the one to which the JACS style refers? And if so, should I simply change that one in my list of styles?
(The Journal style just links to the more generic version, that's why you don't see any style information).
The journal Chemical Communications does not use volume numbers (or didn't until recently). When I cite something from this journal, despite having removed all mention of issues in the "journal article" subset of the ACS citation style, Zotero now bizarrely inserts "No. [issue #]" into the bibliography. Which is not consistent with the style, and of course not what I want.
I'm not sure how to fix this problem. It would appear that it depends on there being no volume number, but beyond that I'm stumped.
Any ideas?
<else-if variable="issue">
<group delimiter=" ">
<text term="issue" form="short" text-case="capitalize-first"/>
<text variable="issue"/>
</group>
</else-if>
@adamsmith: Indeed, ChemComm uses them now but they did not used to.
I think Chem Lett is another one that doesn't. They simply use the year and omit a separate number for volume.
It's unusual, but it's how they did it at one point.
