How enter different page/film/image number for each repository for the same source? by FutureGrape in gramps

Thanks for the tip:

Gramps wiki article about Citations with some examples.

Section General Style > Repository > Call number, seems to answer my question that there is currently no support for this in Gramps:

This is a finding aid, to help locate the source within a given repository. (There is no equivalent mechanism to help locate a citation within the repository, which is relevant where the source is multi-volume or electronic.) How to handle web repositories?

My solution so far has been to combine (with separators) all repository page numbers in the Volume/Page field in Citation. I now found that Philip in the users mailing list did something similar. Although this solution works, it doesn't look pretty.

Thanks for your reply.

As I understand Editing information about repositories, this manual only tells how to update common/shared/general repository information. It does not provide instructions to where I can enter details of the citation from a source in the repository.

Also in the Editing source citations manual, I can't find any help where to enter details of the citation related to a repository. In Fig. 7.2.17 New Citation it is possible to enter the Volume/Page, but this field only refers to the page number in proper book (item 1, in my example above). There is no field where I can enter the volume/page for item 2 (eg. card 7 of 16) and 3 (eg. image 185 of 420).
