Bug in Chicago 17th ed full note - artwork, graphics

If you're using this style to cite works of art (and possibly others that are coded as "graphics") you will see the date field repeated in the citations. I commented out line 1153 of the macro definition for "issue-note" (basically the last if statement, which calls a macro called "issued" which prints the date you have entered for the item) and that solves the problem for artworks, but who knows what else it might break.


  • The issue is that Chicago style wants the full date to be printed in the second position, and CSL has no way of testing if the date is complete vs just the year. The solution is to enter the complete date in Zotero where possible.
