Upgrade StorageAGLC 4 and dual case cites
I am just starting out with Zotero.
I understand how to add a case to Zotero where there is a single cite e.g.: Genentech Inc's Patent [1989] RPC 147.
But the Federal Court practice note requires us to provide both the published report ( authorised series where available) and the medium neutral citation (MNC): e.g. [2002] HCA 59; 212 CLR 411.
The “solution” I am initially trying is to put the dual cite in Reporter Volume (and leave the other fields - Date and First Page - blank.
I am wondering if anyone has run into any problems with this or there is a better way of dealing with this?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

I wasn't aware there is an austlii converter.
As noted above, I just enter the report and the MNC in the Report Volume field with a short name in the Short Name field. That works fine for things like submissions with footnotes.
I am guessing you have seen this thread:
https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/96394/translator-for-austlii-and-lexisnexis-not-extracting-pdfs-or-all-data/p1
I have found that the AustLII translater works really well for me when capturing cases from the web page, populating all of the medium neutral citation data. It has been a great help to have a translator that automates so much of the process and downloads screen shots of the case text.
for inserting citations I found that the AGLC4 CSL didn't work properly if I had populated the fields for the authorized reports of the cases in addition to the Aust LII scraped medium neutral citation material. It has been frustrating me as I am well into a lengthy research piece (current draft over 80,000 words so a well automated process is important.
As the topic has few people interested I used Claude to modify the CSL for AGLC4 to fix the issues I had noticed. After several iterations it is working and I have loaded it into my Zotero installation. It still isn't fully compliant with the AGLC4 guide, but pretty good.
I am wondering where I should upload the revised .csl file for someone who knows what they are doing to look it over and see if it should replace the current version. As I am a lawyer who messes around with code I really don't know how to go about this. Any help would be appreciated
