Upgrade StorageTrouble getting custom citation style to remain in Zotero
Hi, I've created a custom Zotero citation style format (.csl) file that works as I want it to. But I'm having the problem of Zotero not remembering that style across sessions. What I mean is that when I go into the Zotero Style Manager and click the "+" button to add my custom .csl file from my local computer, I can add my citation style and see it appear as an option in the Style Manager. I can use it in Zotero or in Word documents (via the Zotero plugin).
However, when I close Zotero or Word and reopen that program later, my style no longer appears in the Zotero Style Manager, and Word acts like it isn't there. I have to manually re-add it to the Style Manager and then re-select it for my Word document.
I've got a workaround, but it's wasting time having to re-add my style. Any idea why Zotero isn't remembering my custom citation style?

adamsmithSounds like you haven't changed the style ID? https://www.zotero.org/support/dev/citation_styles/style_editing_step-by-step#change_the_style_title_and_id

panyardThat was it! I had changed the title and title-short fields, but didn't realize I needed to change the ID field too. Thanks!
