the Chicago-style citation keep showing full notes after works been cited more than once

hwj
Hi everyone,

I use chicago style citation for my essay, but recently I found that it keeps showing the full detail of a citation after the same work been cited more than once.

e.g: for the first time I cite a work it appears like this, which is fine:
Walter Benjamin, The Origin of German Tragic Drama (London: Verso, 1998), 90.

but for the second time I cite the same work the citation appears exactly the same full detail version instead of a shorter, correct version, e.g.
Walter Benjamin, The Origin of German Tragic Drama, 90.

I would be so grateful if anyone knows how to fix this.

    Try reinserting all instances of this citation in the document. Do tell us whether it works or not.

    Could you test this in a new document?
    Insert that citations, then another one, then again the first one, does that work?

    Do other items correctly go to a short form in subsequent citations or is this broken for all? If it's broken for all, which citation style directly, which word processor and how exactly are you inserting citations?

    hi, i think i found the reason for that, it probably becasue i removed the field code of citations.... My fault! but thanks very much for your answers.
