Upgrade StorageWrong CSL file in Zotero list
Hi, I edited the University of South Wales - Harvard CSL in 2024 - and previous versions of Zotero happily downloaded the right version when I added the CSL. I recently had to reinstall Zotero on a repaired laptop, clicked to search for new style in Zotero and the version it installed "University of South Wales (author-date/Harvard)(2026-01-05 14:58:08)" is not only not the version that's in the CSL repository, it's got significant errors in it. I've redownloaded my own 2024 version and it's working fine - but the whole reason I went through the process of editing it and submitting it to the CSL library was so that my peers at Uni could use it.
Where does Zotero pull it's list of CSL from? Is there a different repository that needs updating? I can't see the version named in Zotero anywhere in the CSL repository on Github?

is identical to this: view-source:https://www.zotero.org/styles/university-of-south-wales-harvard?source=1
Oddly enough they have different dates, which I don't know how to explain since Zotero should just pull in the CSL repository.
Here you can see the commit history to that specific .csl file:
https://github.com/citation-style-language/styles/commits/master/university-of-south-wales-harvard.csl
If you made edits to a citation style without giving it a unique ID and self-link a style will just be overwritten.
However, if you know the style has concrete errors we'd welcome a PR with fixes, so all of your colleagues can use the correct style.
I'll go and correct the error if I can re-find the process :-) [edit: done]
