date not displaying (CMOS note+bibliography)

rescogitans
Hi,

I'm citing a pretty standard book (single author, title, place of publication, publisher, date). When I copy the note out of Zotero or drag and drop it into Word, it displays as follows:
Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, Sämtliche Schriften und Briefe (Darmstadt: Preussische Akademie der Wissenschaften, 1923).

If I insert the note from the Zotero plugin, it displays as follows:

Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, Sämtliche Schriften und Briefe (Darmstadt: Preussische Akademie der Wissenschaften, n.d.), vol.…

Is this a glitch or am I overlooking something?

Thanks!

    I would be very surprised if this isn't a duplicate item with missing date. Have you clicked on Add/Edit citation in Word and then on "Show in My Library" to check the item used?

    That was the first thing I checked for—no duplicates in this case, unfortunately.

    Here's something odd, though. There are two citations in that reference, and the Leibniz isn't linked to an item in the library even though I inserted the citations through the plugin. I tried deleting it and reentering it, and the same thing happened.

    Show field codes (https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/word_field_codes ) and then copy the field code for that note and paste it here. Leave out the beginning { when selecting the field, otherwise it won't copy.

    oh my, I missed a duplicate in a separate collection - apologies!
    edit: although I still can't actually *find* the duplicate. I went through all my collections and only see the one entry. No sign of it in Duplicate Items or in Unfiled Items either. Any idea of what's going on here?
