Upgrade StorageCopy attributes of an item to many other items... easily
I have added several book chapters C1, C2, ... from Zotero connector.
The book editors were not caught, so I entered them by hand for one of the items (a chapter), e.g., C1.
Now I mean to copy-paste all 4 editors from that item C1 to all the rest C2, ....
Is there an easy way to do this for all items at once?
Plus, I created by hand a \book{mybook, ...} item B for the book itself (Note: I have never seen Zotero connector creating an item for the book, when the chapters are listed).
I mean to:
1. Refer to this item B in each of the items C1, ... (I used to do this via crossref={mybook}), and
2. Add the chapter number (in 2013 this was not possible).
How should I do that in zotero?
Is there an easy way to do this for all items at once (possibly not the chapter no.)?

I'm not sure I understand the second part of the question, though I suspect it's just not possible. Chapters are just treated as individual items in Zotero and can't be linked to their containing book (beyond, obviously, just including the relevant information in each chapter's metadata).
BibTeX allows for "linking" a chapter to the containing book, in order to enter the book info only once.
I thought Zotero might have a way to do that, and produce the required field upon Export Item...
Perhaps in Extra?
Nothing new on chapter numbers -- I'm also just not seeing those in citations, so unclear what the use case is.
