Supress title where no author
After a bit of a search I've not come up with
I have a few references where there is no author and I'd like to suppress the title as I already use the title in text.
Eg. "the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties (1969)".
In this instance using 'suppress author' doesn't appear to work.
I'm using the Uni South Australia 2013 style though I've also tested a bunch of others: UniSA 2017, Chicago author-date, Elsevier Harvard, etc.
The only thing I've been able to find on this is the below, which suggests it may once have been a bug. Is this the case, or do I need to format these citations manually?

It's a pretty simple record: title, publisher, date, url.
Zotero RDF for it below:

Here's another example, this one has a few more fields, including contributor, but the result is the same. Title used in in-text reference and not suppressed when suppress author is selected.

Anyone have and more ideas on this?
I'd love to do this without having to manually identify and edit each instance where I'd like to suppress a title.
Anyone able to help?
@fbennett Suppress Author should also suppress the title variable (or any variable) if it is part of a
substitute
node.I'll work around this using one of your suggestions. Given there's not many of them manually adjusting or ignoring them are both options.
I'd rather not use a single author field as it means putting data in the wrong field and I'd also need to ensure there were no instances the same document needed to cited in full.
