Chicago Manual Style (author-date) doesn't include date

sunsue
Hej, I am working with the Chicago Manual Style in the author-date format (in brackets behind the quote), but in my Word the reference the date between author and page is missing. It should look like this: Smith 2012, 48; but it looks like that: Smith, 48. Can anybody tell me if this can be changed? Thanks!

    That should certainly be appearing for you. What type of reference? (book, article, etc.)

    make sure that you're actually using Chicago author-date (MLA style wouldn't print dates) and make sure the item(s) in question have dates in Zotero.

    Oh, great, thanks fbennet and adamsmith!

    I was using a book chapter in the reference which I connected to the book - I thought Zotero takes those data from the belonging book, but it doesn't.

    I inserted the date into the data section for the book chapter - works! BUT: How do I get the editors of the book into the reference list? I can't see a data field for editors for the reference type book chapter.
