Misleading / wrong autors initials

Helo
I have downloaded PDF's from the WEB and added them as reports to my zotero library.
PDF:
https://www.zhaw.ch/storage/psychologie/upload/iap/veranstaltungen/diak/tag2/Tag_2_Track_C3_Melcher_Andreas_u.__Häuselmann_Eva_Assessment_von_ethischer_Kompetenz.pdf

Afterwards I modified the record with autor names, etc.
However initials in the citation as well as in the reference are wrong. Zotero uses the manually edited autors but it appears to add (o. J.) as autors name as well.
I have seen that with other PDFs too?
I use version 5.021 with MS Office 2016
  • How exactly is the reference appearing for you? What style and language are you using? If you edit the affected citation and click the Open in My Library button, does the item have the incorrect initials in its data?
  • This is how it shows up in a word document
    (autor-1 & autor-2, o. J)
    Zotero adds the o. J. initials
    I use German;
    The field function is
    ADDIN ZOTERO_BIBL {"custom":[]} CSL_BIBLIOGRAPHY
    I use the "Deutche Gesellschaft für Psychologie (German) citation style
    Seen this with other PDFs as well

    In the Zotero library I see only the two (correct) autors
  • Do you have a date for that item? o. J. isn’t a set of initials, but the German locale abbreviation for “no date”.
  • edited September 25, 2017
    o. J. means "ohne Jahr" i.e. undated. It has nothing to do with the authors
    (edit: sorry for the duplicate)
  • This is (was) it.
    Thank you so much. Your speedy support is really appreicated
