In theory, any .csv column that is not already in Calibre could be added if it added value to a significant number of ZMI users, since it would require adding additional Zotero Custom Columns to the current 27 CCs that already are automatically created and populated for all ZMI users.

Number of Pages: Custom Column "zotero_pages", "A page number, or a range of page numbers, associated with the item", already exists in ZMI. You could easily copy "Number of Pages" into "Pages" in Zotero using a standard Zotero utility to do so. Also, Number of Pages in Calibre would be a page count created by the Count Pages plugin, which would update a user-defined CC such as #pages.


Edition and Rights were not included in the original 27 because the consensus by the Zotero users who contributed their needs and comments to my original development of ZMI in 2016 was that those two specific Zotero metadata elements (any many more) were of little or no value in Calibre, and not worth including, especially since the PDFs in Zotero can have their Zotero metadata updated into them ("embedded" in Calibre terminology) before importing them from Zotero into Calibre via ZMI. They can then be viewed with a PDF viewer that displays embedded metadata. Obviously, they can also be viewed in Zotero itself.


ZMI was not at all intended to totally reproduce Zotero inside of Calibre via Zotero's .csv export file, nor to reproduce Calibre inside of Zotero (although it can come pretty close if ZMI's RIS configuration is done thoroughly enough).
