Reference Type - Chapter of An Edited Book?
Hi:
I just downloaded Zotero and started playing around it - very impressed so far!
I noticed, though, that I can't seem to find a reference type for a chapter from an edited book. For example:
Bandura, A. (1991). Social cognitive theory of moral thought and action. In W.M.
Kurtines & J.L. Gewirtz (Eds.), Handbook of moral behavior and development:
Vol. 1: Theory (pp. 45-109). Hillsdale, NJ: Lawrence Erlbaum Associates.
Is this something that people have figured out a way to do with the current release? And if not, will this be added soon?
Thanks!

Add a contributor with type "author" and two contributors of type "editor." Fill in all other fields as you'd expect.
Thanks!
Is that right, and if so, does it make any practical difference (i.e. will it cause problems with bibliography-creating down the line), or should I just add it in there and not worry?
A second question: I've added a book from a library search, then changed it to a Book Section type, and added the chapter author as Author. Zotero lists the item Creator as "[editor 1] et al", which is a bit misleading for a chapter. It seems to simply take the first listed Editor/author/etc as the Creator.
There seems to be no way to re-order the creators, and so if I want the Chapter Author to display as Creator, I have to remove all the editors, then add author, then add the editors back in. Am I right that this is the only way to do this, or am I being thick?
I am using Zotero version 1.0.7 and to my surprise I am not able to find "Editors" field in the Book Section entry. Is this only my installation or is there a bug?
Thanks

I instead created the reference in bibtex and imported it into zotero.
For chapters/sections of edited volumes, it would be ideal to have the chapter/section author listed as a primary creator and the editors as secondary creators, so that the bibliographical information can be exported correctly (in various styles):
CHAP AUTHOR(S), "CHAP TITLE" in _BOOK TITLE_, ed BOOK EDITOR(S)... etc.
Version 1.07 lumps the creators together at the beginning of the entry, privledging the editors rather than the chapter/section author. Will this be remedied in future versions?
Thanks!
See Edited volumes and book chapters.
For example, my current book from the OU was written in 2006 by the Course Team. It consists of a set of different file papers written at different times.
Example below:
Energy Users Research Association (1983) ‘The economics of insulation’, In The Course Team (ed.), T862 File Papers, Wakefield, The Open University
Should be:-
Energy Users Research Association (1983) ‘The economics of insulation’, In The Course Team (2006), T862 File Papers, Wakefield, The Open University
I would have though a 'Section Date' and 'Book Date' should be fairly easy to implement?
