Hey all, after seeing all the new fields (which are much appreciated!), I was surprised that volume title wasn't one of them. Just wondering if this is in the pipeline?
I'm not sure it matches your use case, but have you tried using that title as the Book Title, the container title as Series and the volume number as Series Number?
If I may make a few suggestions on implementing this: books also need the part number and title fields (the same as in journal articles) alongside volume titles. For example: https://www.zotero.org/groups/2205533/items/P3WCZ5HS.
Support for the volume-title variable needs to be added to journal articles as well, to support an issue title, e.g. https://www.zotero.org/groups/2205533/items/6VYDHCV4. I might suggest renaming the Series Title or Series Text field to Issue Title and mapping it to volume-title. It looks from old documentation as if these were originally intended to support what is now covered by the volume-title and section variables. (A 'series' with a periodical usually refers to '3rd series', 'new series', etc., which does not have a further title, so the Series field is enough to cover this on its own.) Series Title is double-mapped to collection-title, while Series Text is not mapped to anything.
Ah I had forgotten about series titles for periodicals, as that isn't an issue for me anywhere near as often, but I have encountered it a couple times (and yes it was "New Series" most recently I believe).
