# of pages field for reports?

laura.hilberg
Is there a workaround to get the report item type to include # of pages in the bibliography?

It used to list that field as "Pages XX" (as if it was a book section) and now it's not included at all.

The only way I know to get that is using the Book item type, but I would like to keep the Report Number field.

I'm using the Conservation Biology style and Zotero 5.0.9

    Yes, this is an error in the Report type (it should be Number of Pages, not Pages) that will be fixed in an upcoming version of Zotero as part a major update to item types and fields.

    For now, you can enter number of pages into Extra like this:
    Number of pages: 123

    This will get picked up by citation styles as needed.

    Unrelated but - I'm guessing this was a typo, but if you're actually on Zotero 5.0.9 (and not 5.0.59) you should update and investigate why automatic updates arent' working.

    Good to know - I'll look into it.
    Thanks!

    Since this is considered an "error" according to the post of @bwiernik, are there any plans to fix this error?

    Yes, I'd assume this will get changed/fixed when item types and fields get updated in Zotero. I think the goal for this is still 5.1/6.0 but not sure.
