Bug using three or more authors same year

cmaringa
Hello,

I am having a problem with the in-text citation when I use the year-date style and have three or more authors who publish different works in the same year. For example if White, Chaubey, Chetan publish their work in 1999 and White, Chaubey, Chetan, and Claire publish another work in 1999 Zotero should give the citation as [White et al., 1999a] and [White et al., 1999b] respectively. However, I get the following [White, Chaubey, and Chetan, 1999] and [White, Chaubey, Chetan, and Claire, 1999]. Seems like a zotero bug as I get the same error if I use Chicago style or any other style that has "et al" type of in-text citation.

Help really appreciated.

    This is set by
    <option name="disambiguate-add-names" value="true"/>

    with that set to false the style should do what you want. I can't tell which one you're using.

    I do already have <option name="disambiguate-add-names" value="false"/>.

    sorry, false doesn't seem to work here. Take out the entire line.
  • cmaringa
    You are awesome!! It works like a charm once I removed the line.

    Thanks a lot
