Selected styles do not generate footnote or endnote

An error report was submitted and registered as 1618092470.

While the different Chicago Manual Styles work and generate footnotes or endnotes as requested, several other styles, e.g. Nature, Science, Arterioslerosis Thrombosis and Vascular Biology, and many more only generate the reference field in the text but do not generate any kind of literature reference, neither as footnote nor as endnote. For the styles that do not provide the list of references, neither footnote nor endnote can be selected, the fields for selection appear in gray.
It is possible to toggle styles, so switching back and forth from and to the working Chicago Manual Styles is possible.
Before submitting an error report, all styles were removed and freshly installed, te aforementioned problem was reproduced in a new LibreOffice document.

The system:

Linux 32-bit (OpenSUSE 12.1)
Zotero 2.1.10
Firefox 8.0
LibreOffice Integration 3.5b2
LibreOffice 3.4.2

Thank you for your assistance.
  • that's not an error - there are note based styles - Chicago, Modern Humanities etc. - that produce footnotes and endnotes.
    Then there are other styles, which are either numeric (AMA, Nature, Vancouver) or author date (APA, Harvard). Those styles insert a short citation - in the form of a number or author and year - in the text and then, when you click "insert bibliography" a full bibliography for all citations.

    It sounds like everything is working correctly for you.
  • To generate the reference list at the end of your document, you should click the "Insert Bibliography" button.
