Entering Multivolume works with individual titles into Zotero Standalone

CTSSmithre
Chicago Manual of Style, 17 ed., (14.118) cites the work in this format: The Complete Tales of Henry James, ed. Leon Edel, vol. 5, 1883–1884 (London: Rupert Hart-Davis, 1963)... Both titles are italicized, the rest of the entry is in standard font.

The book record template in standalone, however, has only one title field. How do I enter the information into the record so that the notes output at least is close to accurate?

    Can you give the full citation you want to see?

    Robert Preus, The Theology of Post-Reformation Lutheranism. Vol. 2, God and his creation (St. Louis: Concordia Publishing House, 1972)...

    The above is the full citation. 1883–1884 is the volume title (also in italics).

    We can't do the editor after work without an author, but I think that's secondary here. Having this with Henry James as author works just as well.

    @adamsmith Two options I see here are:

    1) Enter this as a `book` and provide a `container-title` in Extra and ensure the style can accommodate that.

    2) Enter as a `book` with `volume` as “5, 1883–1884” and use the conditional test for `is-numeric` that is used in the updated apa.csl to control volume formatting. Eventually, once `volume-title` exists as a variable, switch to using that instead. Unlike with APA, this won’t work perfectly due to the volume number not being italicized.

    That sounds right, yes. The full answer is that we can't properly do this at the moment, so anything will be a workaround. Not the first time this comes up, of course, and we're aware of the need to accomodate volume title.
