Bibliography not auto updating when additional citations are added

bobsone

Hi
I have a new install of Mate 24.04 running LibreOffice and Zotero.
Zotero isn't updating the bibliography when a new citation is added to the document.
If I click Add/edit bibliography a new and additional bibliography is added with all the current citations included.
I have reinstalled the Libre writer plugin and tried different styles, all gave the same result.

Ubuntu Mate 24.04
Zotero version 7.0.15 (not snap)
Libre writer version 24.2.7.2

That just means your previous bibliography was flattened.

Thanks for the reply.
This problem is happening in real time in a new unsaved document.
I can open a Libre writer doc, add a citation and then add a bibliography further down the page or on another page. When I add a second (or third, fourth etc) citation, the bibliography doesn't update to show the new citation(s).
To get the added citations full references in a bibliography I have to re-click the Add Bibliography button resulting in two bibliography lists with the newer one containing the current complete list.
Then if I add more citations I have to re-add the citation list etc.
Also, the refresh button doesn't fix the problem.

How is LibreOffice installed? If you press the Add/Edit Bibliography button once to insert the bibliography, and then again, do you get yet another bibliography, or an Edit Bibliography dialog?

Could you submit a Debug ID reproducing this in a new document?

LobreOffice came bundled with the Mate 24.04 install.
A second press of the Add/Edit Bibliography button does bring up the Edit Bibliography dialog.
The Debug ID is D862005033.

You should uninstall the bundled LibreOffice version and install the official one available on LibreOffice website. You might also want to reset your LibreOffice profile/settings.
