Upgrade StorageIncorrect Reference Format for More Than 7 Authors - APA 6th Ed.
I recently referenced an article with 9 authors. The reference was formatted like this:
Alpert, J. E., Maddocks, A., Nierenberg, A. A., O'Sullivan, R., Pava, J. A., Worthington, J. J., Biederman, J., et al. (1996). Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in childhood among adults with major depression. Psychiatry Research, 62(3), 213-219. doi:10.1016/0165-1781(96)02912-5
According to American Psychological Association 6th Edition, pg 198, example 2, the format for the authors names should be:
Alpert, J. E., Maddocks, A., Nierenberg, A. A., O'Sullivan, R., Pava, J. A., Worthington, J. J., . . . Fava, M. (1996). Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in childhood among adults with major depression. Psychiatry Research, 62(3), 213-219. doi:10.1016/0165-1781(96)02912-5
Is this something that I can fix or is it a bug that needs to be fixed in a future release?
Thank you in advance for your help.

adamsmithedited August 20, 2010we're aware of this, but Zotero can currently not handle this type of author display correctly. So I'd call it a limitation rather than a bug, but regardless of the semantics there is nothing you can do to fix it.
