Upgrade Storagemy new citation format won't save
Sorry if this question has been asked before and I missed it.
I've changed a couple of lines in one of the citation styles and saved it under a new name with .csl, I clicked on the '+' sign to add this style, but when I click 'open', nothing happens and I can't add the new style.
I've also tried to modify one of the existing citation style, and it works on the 'style editor' pane, but again, it won't save and I can't seem to use the new style (it always reverts back to the original one).
Any ideas?
Thanks

dstillmanReport ID?

dstillmanAnd are you changing the 'id' line of the style to be different from a built-in style?

adamsmithI'm guessing you didn't change the style's id, see https://www.zotero.org/support/dev/citation_styles/style_editing_step-by-step#change_the_style_title_and_id

sebastien desboisI shall try again with this information. Thanks

sebastien desboisSo, I've changed the ID and title of the new format, I've checked it in the CSL validator and came back all good. I saved it with the new name, followed by .csl . When I add the new format, an 'unexpected error' appears. When I close the program and reopen it, however, the new name for the format is in the list. But when I check the new format, the lines are identical to the original. Only the name that appear in the list is different.

sebastien desboisall good now, looks like there was a link line I hadn't removed that Zotero was using to overwrite everything else. Seems to work fine now.
