Sources not showing up for citation options...

janiecej
I have consistent difficulties with some sources in the database not showing up as an option when I search for it to add a citation. I can see the source in my Zotero stand-alone, but the option doesn't come up.

I have a lot of sources with the same title. That is sometimes the problem, but not always.

    In the Quick Format Citation Dialog ? You can only search a reference by typing its title / author / year.
  • janiecej
    title of the source, i.e. newspaper, work or is it just the article title?

    is there a problem with multiple sources with the same names? I have maybe 20 newspaper articles with the same name, maybe 7 of them show up tin the quick format citation dialog.

    Just the article title.

    how about when you switch to the classic view (by clicking on the small arrow at the left of the quick format dialog)?

    (The next version of Zotero will also search the publication title in the Quick Format dialog.)

    Simon, looking forward to the coming version.

    By the way, will the searchable fields be customisable? I'd like to search among reports by report number (number in CSL), rather than just author or title.

    It's in Zotero since 4.0.9 (July 22, 2013).
    It's not customisable.
