IETF RFC Documentation as Reports
Zotero connector does a great job of importing RFC documents from the IETF. They are imported as Reports - which is fine. But...you knew that was coming...there is no way to get the Report Number field as a column in the Title, etc. list screen.
Any way to do this? Can this feature be added??

There is an API for BibTex data for each RFC using URIs like so
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc3986/bibtex/
It includes a field `howpublished` which contains "RFC xxxx" as a string.
In Zotero, it seems to map to the "Report Number" field.
So one would simply need to modify the output style to add that field before the title of a report in the list of references.
Personally, I would also prefer to have the URI/URL of the RFC in the reference entry.
Here is what the API returns for RFC3986 btw.
@misc{rfc3986,
series = {Request for Comments},
number = 3986,
howpublished = {RFC 3986},
publisher = {RFC Editor},
doi = {10.17487/RFC3986},
url = {https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc3986},
author = {Tim Berners-Lee and Roy T. Fielding and Larry M Masinter},
title = {{Uniform Resource Identifier (URI): Generic Syntax}},
pagetotal = 61,
year = 2005,
month = jan,
abstract = {A Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) is a compact sequence of characters that identifies an abstract or physical resource. This specification defines the generic URI syntax and a process for resolving URI references that might be in relative form, along with guidelines and security considerations for the use of URIs on the Internet. The URI syntax defines a grammar that is a superset of all valid URIs, allowing an implementation to parse the common components of a URI reference without knowing the scheme-specific requirements of every possible identifier. This specification does not define a generative grammar for URIs; that task is performed by the individual specifications of each URI scheme. {[}STANDARDS-TRACK{]}},
}
For those who seeks a fast way of adding RFC, I've noticed that DOI of all RFCs (at least those I saw) have the following format:
10.17487/RFC.
