How to create a subsequent author substitute in csl?

Carina

Dear Zotero community,

I just tried to model a citation style according to the rules of the Journal of Advertising, where one of the requirements is the following:
"For authors cited more than once, substitute six hyphens (dashes) for each repeated name in the reference list."
The syntax guide recommends the following: <option subsequent-author-substitute="some text"/>
I've tried to modify the APA style.
Original:
<bibliography>
<option name="hanging-indent" value="true"/>
<option name="et-al-min" value="8"/>
<option name="et-al-use-first" value="7"/>
<option name="entry-spacing" value="0"/>
<option name="line-spacing" value="2"/>
<sort>

My modied version:
<bibliography>
<option name="hanging-indent" value="true"/>
<option name="et-al-min" value="4"/>
<option name="et-al-use-first" value="1"/>
<option subsequent-author-substitute="_____"/>
<option name="entry-spacing" value="0"/>
<option name="line-spacing" value="2"/>
<sort>

Somehow that does not work in the test pane and I do not know why. Can anyone please help me with this one?

<option name="subsequent-author-substitute" value="_____"/>

you forgot the value

Thanks so much! That worked perfectly.
This is the first time I'm doing something like that.

good job then for finding the feature at all - that's pretty advanced stuff already. Feel free to ask if you hit more roadblocks.

Carina

Thanks for the compliment. I really like zotero a lot, which is a great motivation to move to fields where I usually would not lay my hands on (like modifying csl styles).

oh and once you got the style make sure to post it somewhere so that we can put it in the repository.

Carina

sure
