Upgrade StorageDon't delete DOI when changing item type to 'book section' (but copy it to Extra field)
Somehow I thought that Z5 fixed the
known issue that book sections cannot have DOIs, but nope, that's still on the cards (I know about the "Extra" field workaround).
Here's a #papercut I run into every so often: I start out with an item classified as 'journal article' which actually is a book section.(Example here.) Z translators save it in my library complete with DOI.Then I change the item type to 'book section' and Z tells me it'll delete the DOI.As long as it can't deal with it, I wish it would at least copy it to the Extra field for me.
Copying the DOI seems similar conceptually to what Z already can do when changing a Book to a Book section to create an item for a chapter (it copies Title to Book title), so I'm guessing the machinery already exists for juggling content across fields when triggered by item type changes.

Also, in general for most sites, book sections are imported properly with DOI in Extra. @adamsmithCan the translator be improved here?
