I use the package [numbers]{natbib} and my bibliography style is unsrtnat.

I want to cite this chapter of a book: https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-662-05328-7_2#citeas.

The relevant chapter is only written by one author, but I would like to cite it with additional info containing the booktitle and the editors that published the book since it is also listed as such on the website.

I wrote all that information into my .bib file (I listed the coauthors as editors / I don't know what option should be used here); it looks like this:

@InBook{DecoZeh,
  author    = {Zeh, H.~D.},
  title     = {Basic Concepts and Their Interpretation},
  chapter   = {2},
  publisher = {Springer-Verlag},
  year      = {2003},
  editor    = {Blanchard, P. and Giulini, D. and Joos, E. and Kiefer, C. and Stamatescu, I.~O.},
  booktitle = {Decoherence and the Appearance of a Classical World in Quantum Theory}
}

But booktitle and additional authors don't appear in the compiled pdf.

It appears this is intended as such because booktitle and coauthors / editor fields are not included in the "Full template for a chapter or section in a book with authors" on https://www.bibtex.com/t/template-inbook/

Is it customary to just not name the book that the chapter I'm referencing is taken from?

Or why bibtextype / which fields should I use to have the information displayed as like here: https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/2518/204015. I'm not hellbent on naming the full book and others authors, I just want to go with what is customary.

@inbook is not the appropriate entry type for this entry. I suggest you switch to @incollection.

enter image description here

Observe that H. Dieter Zeh is now listed both as an author (of chapter 2) and as an editor. Observe that I've also backfilled information for the edition and pages fields.

\documentclass{article}
\begin{filecontents}[overwrite]{mybib.bib}
@incollection{DecoZeh, 
    author    = {Zeh, H. Dieter}, 
    title     = {Basic Concepts and Their Interpretation}, 
    chapter   = {2}, 
    pages     = {7--40},
    edition   = {2nd},
    publisher = {Springer Verlag}, 
    year      = {2003}, 
    editor    = {Erich Joos and H. Dieter Zeh and Claus Kiefer 
                 and Domenico Giulini and Joachim Kupsch 
                 and Ion-Olimpiu Stamatescu}, 
    booktitle = {Decoherence and the Appearance of a 
                 Classical World in Quantum Theory} 
}
\end{filecontents}

\usepackage[numbers]{natbib}
\bibliographystyle{unsrtnat}

\begin{document}
\cite{DecoZeh}
\bibliography{mybib}
\end{document}
