Double First name on Letter citation (need help plz)

Valance
I would greatly appreciate some help with letter citations. No matter how I change the author (even suppressing it) I can't seem to get the correct citation except if I omit the authors first name in the author box otherwise I get a double post on first name.

Zotero appears (probably user error) to be adding the first name twice so that a citation looks as such:
Frederick Frederick Taylor to William Crozier, December 10, 1906, Box 114, Frederick Winslow Taylor Collection.



Any idea on how to fix this?


I appreciate the help,

Thank you,

David

    which citation style? And is that the case with multiple letters or just with this one?
  • Valance
    1. Chicago style

    2. Yes, there are multiple letters between the two- 25-30 letters I have documented inside Zotero.

    Could you check if that also happens in the reference test pane:
    https://www.zotero.org/support/dev/citation_styles/reference_test_pane

    If so, could you export one of the letter items that produce that error as Zotero RDF (right-click --> Export selected item --> Zotero RDF)
    Open the exported file with a text editor (notepad, TextEdit), select all, copy, paste to gist.github.com (no registration necessary), create a public gist and post the link here. That way we can take a look at the Zotero data for that item.
    Also, which Chicago Style specifically? Full Note?
