Case citation - brackets disappearing

eeastaugh

Hello -

I'm using OSCOLA. For some reason, any punctuation (including brackets) I put in the 'reporter' field do not appear in footnotes. I need these to appear. Is there some way to disable the automatic suppressing of punctuation in that field?

Thanks in advance.

this is in regular Zotero? The style strips periods from the reporter field, but brackets appear for me just fine. What's an example?

I'm using the Firefox plugin, version 4.0.29.10.

For example, I put the following in the reporter field: "[1990]". But in the citation, the square brackets are stripped away.

Thanks.

I'll check on this later, but note that you probably should be using the reporter volume field for this.
See here https://www.zotero.org/groups/oscola_samples/items
for reference entry examples for which the style is optimized.

Thanks. That does work actually, but I already have several dozen cases input improperly, so if there's a fix for the issue I raised that would be much appreciated!
