"ibid" function for citing the same source?

annalael

I am using a specific legal citation style for my dissertation and am now wondering if there is an ‘ibid’ function to cite the same source as in the preceding footnote? At the moment, every footnote contains the entire source, even if I cite exactly the same source over several pages (I am working on a case analysis of Court rulings, therefore the repetition of the same source...)
Thank you :)

Yes, CSL can do that for you.
Take any citation style that has ibid and replicate that in your style. You want to look inside the section called "citation". https://www.zotero.org/styles?q=ibid

Great, thank you! I will try that - but just to make sure before I change it: I can add this to my citation style and then press the refresh button in word without destroying my whole work?

Yes, absolutely, you can update your citation style for the current document and then refresh citations.
