Reference Manager RefID batch import
Folks- like some other posts, I am evaluating migrating to Zotero from orphaned Reference Manager (14,000+ refs in my case). A trial run worked well. However, one field, RefID, is not picked up. It is a short unique acquisition number that I find very handy to have, plus it links to every paper reprint. Can I somehow assign RefID to a different Zotero field to have it included with a Zotero database?
thanks, jim

edit -- and as you suspect, you can't create custom fields in Zotero, at least not at this time.
