MHRA does not include IBID

Harnold88
Dear all,
this probably has a simple explanation but I have been going mad over my footnotes and part of the kerfuffle is that Zotero "MHRA 3rd edition bibliography" does not create "ibids", just repeats the same quotation.

How can I change this?!

Best wishes!

    MHRA's ibid rules are impossible to automate and rather vague in the first place:

    The term ‘ibid.’ should be used very sparingly and limited to
    those situations where there is no possibility of confusion, such as after a second reference which is separated from its predecessor by no more than four lines of typescript.

    So Zotero's MHRA implementation doesn't use it at all.

    oh ok! That is indeed an easy answer. Thank you very much!
