Pull request overview

This PR adds a type field to multiple Zotero item types to ensure the CSL genre variable is consistently available as a descriptive alternative to titles. The changes position the type field immediately after abstractNote for all item types, and reorder some existing type-related fields for consistency.

Changes:

• Added plain type field to 18 item types that previously lacked any type designation
• Reordered existing type-related fields (genre, postType, reportType, websiteType) to appear immediately after abstractNote in 5 item types
• Moved type field before related fields (identifier, reportNumber, websiteTitle, forumTitle) for better field organization

Comments suppressed due to low confidence (1)

schema.json:296

• The blogPost item type now has both a plain type field and a websiteType field with baseField: "type". This creates a conflict where two fields map to the same base field. Item types should have either a plain type field OR a specialized type field (like websiteType) with baseField type, but not both. Consider removing the plain type field added on line 287 since websiteType already provides the type functionality for blog posts.

It is misleading to call this field 'genre' with a film: this makes it sound as if one should be filling in something like 'action/adventure'. The field is also named 'genre' with a dataset, and I think that 'type' would be clearer there as well. If this were changed simply to "field": "type", would Zotero correctly retain/migrate the data?

The CSL genre variable is meant to contain a title-level description, but calling the field 'website title' makes it sound as if it is a description of the container-title. This also applies to blog posts. See https://www.zotero.org/groups/2205533/items/MWHM3SMK and https://www.zotero.org/groups/2205533/items/CRHZHS6Z for usage examples; it is also especially necessary for citing AI output as Chicago models it, e.g. https://www.zotero.org/groups/2205533/items/4YST9PCI and https://www.zotero.org/groups/2205533/items/KUTRD58P. It would be simplest to change this to a simple type field if that is possible.
