Zotero is capitalizing all words in title using APA

Smitty327
APA requires the title of an article from a journal to have only the first word capitalized, however my report shows all words capitalized when using the APA citation. Can you advise how to change this?

    Does the title entry in your Zotero record have only the first letter of the first word in upper case (sentence case) or does the entry have the first character of most words in upper case (title case)?

    The entire title in my records are capitalized. But my authors also have their first names written out but Zotero resolves it to just the initial for APA style on my report. Shouldn't it resolve the title for APA as well?

    It's not possible to automate sentence case reliably - there is no way Zotero can no what is a proper noun. The only way to get this right is to make sure your entries are always in sentence case. Zotero _can_ automatically transform those into title case where needed for citations - it's much easier because it can just capitalize everything except a list of about a dozen words.
