No ibid. after a repeated references with suffix

JMachielsen
Hello,

I've been ironing out some issues in my CSL document to get my book ready for the printer. The one thing I can't seem to solve is the following:

Perhaps the most important, and certainly most referenced work in the text is a multi-volume work. Because I had to cite different volumes in this work and the volume numbers had to be in roman numerals (e.g. ..., i, p. 4) I put all the locator information in the 'suffix' rather than locator field in Zotero. Perhaps there were more straightforward ways of doing this but they didn't occur to me at the time (or now).

I have just brought in Ibid. for repeat references. This works well in all cases, except for the multivolume work above. I did some experimenting, it certainly is the 'suffix' that is at fault. Just putting in the same reference with just a page number does work. Does anyone know a work around for this?

Thank you!

    With a simple text of the processor here, it looks like adding suffixes does not interfere with position evaluation ("first", "subsequent", "ibid", "ibid-with-locator", "near-note"). Certainly it should not cause a problem.

    The first thing to confirm is that you have validated the style:

    https://www.zotero.org/support/dev/citation_styles/style_editing_step-by-step#validation

    If the style is valid, I can take a look at the style code and see if there are any obvious issues.

    Apologies - I'm an idiot. I assumed that a suffix would count as a locator, but it isn't. It was only a question of adding:

    <if position="ibid">
    <text term="ibid"/>
    </if>

    and it's working! Sorry again for the intrusion.
