Upgrade StorageInconsistent in-text citation for the same entry
My query relates to inserting in-text citations via the Zotero plug-in for LibreOffice Writer (version details below). I am using the 'Fundamental and Applied Limnology' style, which has mostly been working well. However, today I came across an inconsistency I can't explain.
Basically, in-text citations in this style should all take the form (Last Name YEAR). The entry I'm trying to cite is (Anderson 2020). I added several citations to a document (Document 1) and all came out exactly as expected, including Anderson. Also (Lutz 2019), (Thornton 2020), etc. etc. All fine.
But then I tried to add the exact same entry to a different document (Document 2) and it came out as (E. R. Anderson 2020). In my Zotero library, the author is listed as "Anderson, Emily R." I thought maybe it had to do with the middle initial, but I deleted it in the library, refreshed the citations in the document, and got (E. Anderson). All of the other citations are appearing as expected in Document 2, with no author initials.
No matter what I've tried, the generated citation is always adding initials for Emily Anderson's journal article, but *only* in Document 2. No other citations are affected in Document 1 or Document 2.
I've checked to make sure there are no duplicate entries, that the name is filled out correctly, etc. I've "refreshed" everything multiple times. Automatic updates are on. I tried inserting a citation for another similar entry -- also a journal article, listed under "Benoit, William L." -- in both Document 1 & 2 and got the expected result in both documents: (Benoit 2022). Only Emily R. seems affected... so far at least. I've triple checked that the style Fundamental and Applied Limnology is being applied in both documents.
Can anyone explain why this might be happening?
