Upgrade StorageIn-text citation errors
The in-text citations have worked great with Zotero (though it loads a bit slowly, TBH) until yesterday...
1. One of my in-text citations should read (Annamma et al., 2014), but for some reason it is including the 2nd author (Annamma, Boelé, et al., 2014). This is not happening on any other citation. I know I could type it in manually the correct way, but that unlinks the citation and I would like it linked for my reference list. I checked the parent item and nothing seems out of order.
2. I accidentally saved two copies of a source and linked each one, ending up with (Crawford, 2004a) and (Crawford, 2004b). I noticed the error, deleted the extra copy, and relinked my in-text citations, and thought I fixed the issue. But for some reason after refreshing it reverted to 2004a and 2004b. The duplicate source is gone, so I'm not sure what is happening. Hopefully it will "stick" today.
Error # 1615264407
Thanks!

2. If it's still giving you a and b, then you haven't deleted the source and it still lives in your document. You can check that by turning on Field Codes and comparing the two citations. Deleting the citation and reinserting, as you already have done, will fix the issue. But you might have a remnant somewhere or readded the erroneous citation again. (Generally, it's always recommended to merge citations, not delete them, to avoid these issues)
