I’m not sure it’s safe to map seriesNumber to number in Zotero.  
Report’s reportNumber is mapped to number already, and there is a  
potential for a conflict: report item type includes a series field and  
potentially seriesNumber field could be added here too.

Bruce, can we just add seriesNumber variable in CSL?

Thanks,  
Elena

Yes, it’s a really bad idea to be creating these sorts of creative,  
non-standard, mappings.

Yes, but for consistency’s sake, it should probably be  
“collection-number” (though we have “series-editor” elsewhere; hmm  
…).

Ok, seriesNumber is now mapped to CSL collection-number. You need to  
upgrade to the latest Zotero dev build to use this feature.

It works! Wonderful! Thank you!

P.S. When Zotero 1.03 will come?
