Why do the books and Comics sections have an ISBN field, but the magazines section does not have an ISSN field?

Perhaps because an ISBN is unique to a book, while an ISSN is published per magazine (and not per edition of that magazine)

Make sure that's the reason. We will include the ISSN in the information page of the collection area (as soon as it is ready). We don't want that to be stated with every item. As an interim solution, we sometimes put the ISSN in the first issue of a magazine. Then it is in any case fixed. And if a magazine once has an ISBN, we put it under Details of the relevant edition.

ISBN is unique to a book

A bit straightforward, but forward :-)

indeed, if you search the internet with an ISB number, you will come across more than one different book, unfortunately ...

Mistakes are frequently made with the ISBN, but the intention is for it to be unique to a book.

Better like this? ;-)
