Zotero adding complete text of item, not a numbered citation

I am adding citations to a LibreOffice Writer document -Mac Mojave 10.14.3; Firefox 65.0.1 ; LibreOffice 6.1.2.1; Zotero 5.0.60.

I expect Zotero to insert a number that points to the reference in my Zotero library. Instead of inserting a number (1,2,3...) at the insertion point, Zotero is inserting what appears to be complete bibliographic information. This is an example:

Green, David. “WHO Bows to China Pressure, Contravenes Human Rights in Refusing Taiwan Media.” The News Lens International Edition, May 18, 2018. https://international.thenewslens.com/article/95982.

I need a numbered citation, not a complete reference. Note: the example is from a story that ran in a news outlet.

Please advise.

    Which style are you using? How do you insert a citation inside your text?
