    If Better BibTeX is already converting author to director, then I wonder if it is possible to just add scripting to the postscript section of BBT to do a similar conversion of Podcaster to host and Series Title to container-title at export time... That would save the hard-code kludging in the Extra field, and leave the fields untouched ready for the day that the BBT postscripting becomes unnecessary (and could easily be removed in one place)...

    Hmm... @emilianoeheyns -- are you there?

    Zotero incorrectly maps its 'podcaster' field to CSL author rather than host
    This was mentioned by @bwiernik in another thread, but there was no conclusion about the best course of action. Happy to do whatever makes sense.

    @dstillman Is there a central list somewhere of variables that need to be added as Zotero fields and corrections to mappings?

    I tried submitting a pull request for the ‘podcaster’ problem several months ago but I’m not sure it was the right place:

    https://github.com/zotero/zotero-schema/pull/6

    This does not however address the problem of the Series Title field on podcasts in place of Program Title.

    @dunning What does Chicago and MLA require as far as labeling of podcast hosts?
  • dunning
    @bwiernik The host of a podcast is consistently labeled as such in both Chicago (14.168) and MLA (examples at the end of the handbook).

    And it looks as though the File Type, "podcast" is only shown if the title of the podcast either does not contain the word "podcast" in it, or is not identified as part of, e.g., a podcast network (second example in 14.168). That makes sense.

    When a magazine article item has a volume and number entered in Zotero, the new Chicago 18 CSL styles cite it as a journal article--a year instead of a full date in parentheses, and volume and number included. This is incorrect according to the latest CMOS. It cites magazine articles in the same way as before--no volume or number, and a full date. Could this be fixed? It is important for me (but I can't be the only one) to keep volume/number for magazine issues in Zotero for research purposes, but I still want to cite magazine articles correctly.
