Add "Original Title" as a native field

Hello,

Following the recent updates in Zotero 8 (and then Zotero 9) that introduced native fields for original publication data (Original Date, Original Publisher, Original Location), I noticed that the "Original Title" field is still missing from the standard interface.

As a style maintainer (specifically for theological and philosophical styles), the original title is a fundamental requirement for our citation standards. Currently, we must still rely on the "Extra" field (using original-title: ...).

Since the other "original" variables have been successfully integrated into the main UI, it would be extremely helpful to have a dedicated "Original Title" field as well. This would ensure better data consistency and a more streamlined workflow for academic research.

Are there any plans to include this field in an upcoming release?

Thank you for your amazing work on Zotero!
  • Hello, I just wanted to second this wonderful comment: this would be extremely helpful, especially in the case of translated works, which so far are very difficult to properly describe.
    Thank you for your great work! Zotero is helping me and my work in so many ways!
