Are you using the built-in BibTeX import or have you installed the Better BibTeX plugin? We can only help with the former.

If the former, can you open the BibTeX file in a text editor (Notepad, TextEdit, etc.) and copy and paste the record in question that shows the place that's not being imported?

I am using Zotero's built-in, import BibTeX function. I have several thousand bibliographical references in BibTeX format in a .txt file. The entries in this file contain a field for "place" (as in place of publication). These fields are populated with data. But Zotero is losing this information during the import. Here is a sample record. Please note that Zotero is ignoring the "place" field for thousands of records like this one. I welcome suggestions! Thank you!

We can consider adding support for place, but that's neither regular BibTeX (where the field would be address) nor BibLaTeX (where it would be location). I'd just search&replace place= --> address= before importing. Where is that BibTeX from? Might also be worth reporting to them.
