Upgrade StorageZ2.1rc1 Partial Name cutoff
Hello,
I just downloaded 2.1 rc1
Where more than one author's name appears in a cite, the first name of all the authors except the first are deleted. This is only in citations - in the bibliography entries, the full names are still included.This problem has not appeared in earlier versions.
I have tested this both with McGill-guide-v7, which I am developing, but also with Chicago (Full Note with Bibliography). I tried adding form="long" to the call, but that did not seem to make a difference.

I'll look into this.

I tried to use different citation style, installed with Zotero, for comparison, but with same result.

I can simplify my CSL and upload it on my WWW server for easy reach, if it is necessary.

Thank you.
More news later ...
The processor bug I mentioned above is unrelated; the processor was failing to update citations in which the number of names changed (for disambiguation) as a result of adding a new reference with a similar list of authors. I've fixed that in the processor, and the update will feature in the next Zotero release candidate.
The issue with your style is not a processor bug, I think, but a couple of missing attributes in the style. If you add et-al-min and et-al-use-first with appropriate values to the bibliography element, the formatting should come out as you expect (there is no need to add the attributes to the citation element, since this is a numeric style).
Currently, with no value for the et-al-min and et-al-use-first attributes, and without disambiguation, you will get the default, which is one name. This behavior may differ from the previous processor, but it is a sensible default. There are some items out there with upwards of 2,000 authors, and we don't want such items to lock up the user interface while a massive name list is being rendered -- in fact there was an error report on just that some time back, from a user of Mendeley, which also uses the processor.
There is documentation on the use of et-al-min and et-al-use-first here (the spec isn't perfectly clear, but the attributes are normally added to the citation or bibliography element, rather than individual name elements). If you add those attributes and the style still does not behave as you expect, post again and we'll look into it. But I think that will get you going.
I have a Book authored by two organizations. The Authors are entered as the acronym for the organizations.
Author 1 = "XXXX"
Author 2 = "YYYY"
If I export the citation using the stock Harvard or chicago Author-Date style I only get
XXXX. 2000. Title
Should be:
XXXX and YYYY. 2000. Title
If I edit the author names to include an initial for the first name then I get the two names exported
Author 1 = "XXXX, A"
Author 2 = "YYYY, A"
XXXX, A and YYYY, A. 2000. Title
(Edit: It will be a couple of days before this is addressed.)
I remember experimenting with et-al-min and et-al-use-first attributes in the name element. As per your advice I added it to citation element using 3 for min and 1 for first (and later set et-al-use-first to 2m just to be sure). The behavior did not change.
Updated style:

I also tried to export citation using all styles preinstalled and there was not single case where I got both authors in citation.
Perhaps it is same bug as grubs reports?
I likely won't be able to look at senovsky's style for a week or so (I'm on the road, and quite busy with other work), In sorting out the latest error report on that above (i.e. "no luck"), let us first confirm that the names used for testing are personal names, entered in two-field mode in Zotero, and not institutional names. That will eliminate the (separate) institutional names issue from the roster of possible causes. (In the test framework, there are no problems with rendering the correct number of names, so if there is still a problem with senovsky's style, it will need some investigation to arrive at the cause.)
