Upgrade StorageRecommendation for APA (and similars)
Hey again!
In APA, when there are 3 or more authors, the next time we cite them in text we use just the first author and et al.
I was thinking that if the second, third etc. time we refer to those authors we choose to suspend them, there is a chance to forget that we've already cited them and write them all again.
It would be a great idea if zotero would show some indication when we suspend authors (for example highlighted date) as a reminder that they have been used again.
Hope it makes sense!
Have a good day :)

Personally, when I write in APA style, I always write “Jones et al.” or “Jones and colleagues” in text, even the first time.
