No "Accessed" Field Output in Chicago Manual

I'm not getting any "accessed" field out put for CMS style for bib or notes. I get a url, but no date of access. Is there a way to enable this feature? Thx, Mark
  • CMS doesn't have that, correct.
    if you want to add it, you'll need to change the CMS style
    for that, go to:
    chrome://zotero/content/tools/csledit.xul
    and select a citation that has an access date. The crucial component in the csl that you'll need to change is the access macro, which, in CMS with full notes looks like this:
    <macro name="access">
    <group delimiter=". ">
    <choose>
    <if type="graphic report" match="any">
    <text macro="archive"/>
    </if>
    <else-if type="book thesis chapter article-journal article-newspaper article-magazine" match="none">
    <text macro="archive"/>
    </else-if>
    </choose>
    <text variable="URL"/>
    </group>
    </macro>

    you can compare this with a style that does have date (e.g. APSA, ASA) and try to play around. If you get it done, follow the instructions here to to include the style in Zotero:

    I currently don't have the time to write you the exact fix, but maybe you'll find someone else here who is willing - but I encourage you to try yourself, it actually can be fun.
