Also, it sure would be nice to have the option of pulling the "Year" pseudo-field in the center pane from Original Date (vs. publication date of whatever edition....)
Not sure what Zotero is going to do, but my guess is they'll not at "original year" as a column; the need for this is quite niche. Presumably, most people who have original dates of publication have those as years (rather than full dates) anyway.
Right, it comes from date, but it'd be incredibly confusing if it pulled from two different fields (once original date exists as its own field), so I assumed you were asking for a separate column. I'm pretty sure it's not going into the same column.
gotcha, yeah, makes sense. Well, if we get Original Date as a real field, then it's easy enough to have the option of displaying that as a column, so that would solve it.
Ah yes, definitely not happening beforehand. The data from Extra are currently only converted into "structured" data in the process of creating citations, so Zotero-generated citations reflect the original date, but Zotero as a database isn't yet aware of it (though Extra content will be converted automatically once the proper fields exist)
I'm using European Archaeology - Harvard. Is it possible to edit that style please to add the original date hack? I'm not sure where to add the new line of code. Thank you!
I don't know if there are proper style guides or where to find them (on the zotero site?) but will try to locate them. I might just go back to that list (posted years back) and find another style that has the original date feature.
I'm working with APA and tried to add the original date of publication with the extra field (original date: year). My problem: I'm writing my thesis in German and therefore need the German translation of orginial date of publication. Anyone knows how to do this? I couldn't figure it out yet...
What's the phrasing used for "Original work published" in German? If you can wait a few weeks, I will be able to update this in the official APA style in Zotero.
sorry for my late respond: here an example for the german equivalent to orginial-date in APA: (Originalquelle veröffentlicht in 1988). I did already figure out how to change the coding from original-date into the german equivalent, but could not find out how to add the period at the end. would be greatly appreciated if you could help with this issue bwiernik
Hi! Thought better to post here than to open a new thread.
I keep trying the 'original-date: 1859' in the Extra field, but it doesn't change anything in my footnotes or bibliography - it just keeps the reprint date.
@adamsmith thanks for replying! I've been testing it both by copy/pasting the bibliography, and also entering citations in word using the Zotero plugin. Neither shows the original date. Here's what I get by pasting the bibliography for the item:
Mill, John Stuart. ‘A Few Words on Non-Intervention’. New England Review 27, no. 3 (2006): 252–64.
In the 'extra' pane, I have 'original-date: 1859', but as you can see it doesn't seem to do anything
The style only prints the original date for book-type materials -- I'd have to look at the Manual, do they say anything about journal articles & reprints?
I am having the same problem Harry described directly above - but with books as well as with journal articles. I am using APA 7th. Is this solution broken now? Any suggestions?

That seems to be what's indicated on the whiteboard https://github.com/zotero/zotero-bits/wiki/Zotero-types-whiteboard but I am running the latest 5.0.97-beta.52 and still have to use the workaround... Is the feature not in the beta?
Also, it sure would be nice to have the option of pulling the "Year" pseudo-field in the center pane from Original Date (vs. publication date of whatever edition....)
what about my question about Year?
My problem: I'm writing my thesis in German and therefore need the German translation of orginial date of publication. Anyone knows how to do this? I couldn't figure it out yet...
original-date: 1988
into the extra field, but it just exports as a note:
note = {original-date: 1988}
I'm using APA 7, BibLaTeX
Zotero 5.0.96.4 on macOS Monterey
Does anyone know why? As far as I know it should export this data into a bibtex field, but it does not work.
I did already figure out how to change the coding from original-date into the german equivalent, but could not find out how to add the period at the end. would be greatly appreciated if you could help with this issue bwiernik
You should enter this in your data in Extra as:
Original date: 1988
A forthcoming update to the APA CSL style will update the localization of the text here.
I keep trying the 'original-date: 1859' in the Extra field, but it doesn't change anything in my footnotes or bibliography - it just keeps the reprint date.
I'm using Chicago 17th edition, full note.
Thanks
