Upgrade StorageOriginal Date Field – Two or Multiple Dates?
Hello,
I am so excited about the Original Date field, but was curious if there was any syntax I need to use to indicate two publication dates in this field – for example, if the book being cited is really a collection of two books published in different years. Consider the following case:

Any guidance would be helpful – I've experimented with "and" "," ";" "/" and whenever the citation comes out it inevitably produces the following:
Descartes, René. Discourse on Method; and, Meditations on First Philosophy. Translated by Donald A. Cress. 1637. 4th ed. Hackett Publishing Company, 1998.
In which the first date of the two (1637) is listed.
Is this perhaps beyond the proper use of the app? Any guidance? Thank you!!

original-date: "1649 and 1662"
Also, to clarify, in the extra field I should include the quotation marks, yes?
Thank you!
No, the normal field won't work.
We'll announce when it's in a beta.
