    One of my chapters is composed of multiple interviews with two people. When I am citing these sources in Word (2007) in footnotes (Chicago Style), Zotero does not include the date when a source is cited for the second time. This means that the sources are all appearing as the same, when in fact they are different interviews. I wouldn't mind adding the date manually, BUT if I cite a source and think it will be the first time I am using that particular interview, and then in the editing process the sentences get moved around, I will no longer know which particular interview a citation came from if it is not noted correctly anymore.

    Example:

    First time interview is cited in text: Rose Hill, interviewed by Mary Davis, transcript, May 13, 1928, University of Virginia Special Collections
    Next citation:
    Rose Hill, interview
    Problem:
    No date to distinguish between-
    First cite:
    Rose Hill, interviewed by Mary Davis, transcript, June 4, 1928, University of Virginia Special Collections
    Second cite:
    Rose Hill, interview

    Any ideas or should I just go with the manual add of date until there is a fix?

    Thanks!

    What happens if you use the Full Note Chicago Manual of Style format. That should always stick in the full citation.

    I tried the Full Note Chicago Manual of Style format and the problem persists. For now I will just put the date in the edit tool (unless you know of another fix) until Zotero is next updated...I hope you do get a chance to address this in the near future! I just discovered the edit tool and that is useful.

    The second citation of any interview, when there are multiple interviews with the same subject and interviewer, should read:

    Rose Hill, interview, May 13, 1928

    Thanks,

    Well, this is really a shortcoming of CSL. Since the date should only be added if there are multiple interviews with the same subject and interviewer, there should be something like disambiguate-add-date option in CSL.
