Cannot manage to show full citation in OpenOffice after importing from Scrivener with RTF/ODT

I have set Zotero to export in Scannable cite, import citations to scrivener using drag and drop in the footnote fields. I then compile to odt and go through the scanning routine using RTF/ODF scan.
The new document with my scanned citations seems to work fine but the format of the citations (even chicago manual of style 17th ed.) full leaves me with a short citation.
Ex: (Franz and Blumer 2008:p.252) instead of the whole book description with title and so on. I guess I'm missing on something,
thank you for your help

That would be controlled by the citation style. What you are showing is the correct format for Chicago (author-date). If you want a footnote with the full reference, use Chicago (full note) instead. If what you want is the in-text author-date citation and a bibliography list with the full references, then you need to insert a bibliography. Place the cursor where you want the bibliography in your document and click the Add/Edit Bibliography button.

Additionally, Zotero doesn't support OpenOffice, which is no longer actively developed. You should switch to LibreOffice.

This is after doing "Document Preferences" and setting the citation style?

(Franz and Blumer 2008:p.252) is such an odd format...

What happens if you then add a citation to the doc using the Libre Office Zotero add-on?

Thank you so much for your responses. The problem stemmed from the use of OpenOffice. I switched to LibreOffice and I'm a very happy teddy bear! Literally two days of getting the whole contraption to work...
