Upgrade StorageError : Suppress Author on «cases»
Hi everyone!
I am French speaker (sorry for my grammar errors).
I've just updated my Zotero from the version 5.0.65 to the version 5.0.66, but something got wrong.
The option «Suppress Author» doesn't work anymore in all my «cases» reference in my WORD document. (A «case» is a judicial decision.)
With the new version 5.0.66, the name of the case is still visible in my WORD document, even if I've clicked the «suppress author» box in the Zotero Connector Window (view classic).
For instance, before the update 5.0.66, I can write a case reference like this: R. v. Magill (Y. Terr. Ct.), préc., note 295, par. 16. But with the version 5.0.66, the reference appears now like this in my WORD document: R. v. Magill (Y. Terr. Ct.), R. v. Magill, préc., note 295, par. 16. Like you can see, the case name in my reference is now, wrongly, repeated.
My style of reference writing in Zotero is «Guide des références pour la rédaction juridique 7e édition (Guide Lluelles, French - Canada)».
Could you help me with my «suppress author» error ?
Or, do you think it's a good idea to uninstall my Zotero and try to download and reinstall the former version of Zotero, the version 5.0.65 ?
Thank you very much !

(And you don't need to revert to a previous version of Zotero. This is a bug, and will be fixed in the next release. If you urgently need to get back to the previous behavior, a workaround plugin will be available in the next day or so.)
title-shorton subsequent citations, or should this be fixed only for full-form citations?I will answer for your question : "Should suppress-author also suppress title-short on subsequent citations, or should this be fixed only for full-form citations?"
I tried today, for a test, to put a case reference with a short title. The title-short work, but the suppress-author doesn't work.
For instance: Charkaoui c. Canada (Citoyenneté et Immigration), 2007 CSC 9 [Charkaoui], par. 2,
If I don't click the suppress-author box, this case reference appears like this in my text : Charkaoui, préc., note 1, par. 2.
And if I click the suppress-author box, the reference doesn't change : Charkaoui, préc., note 1, par. 2.
Just to be clear, in my text, I don't put a title-short, and I don't want, a title-short in my case reference. I use the classic view in the window of the Zotero WORD plugin.
To answer the question of @bwiernik, I would like to manually suppress the name of the case reference in my footnote in my WORD document, by clicking the «suppress author» box in the window of the Zotero WORD plugin. I would also need to manually replace the case name of my Zotero reference by writing another case name in the prefix box in the window of the Zotero WORD plugin. Before the version 5.0.66, I can do this.
For instance, in my Zotero, I enter this case reference : R. v. Magill, 2013 YKTC 8. I enter "R. v. Magill" as a case name, "2013" as the case date, "YKTC" as the court and "8" as the first page. I didn't write a title-short in my reference.
I would like exactly this result in my footnotes, like it was in the version 5.0.65 :
1. R. v. Magill, 2013 YKTC 8, par. 2
2. R. v. Ramage, 2011 ONSC 3092, par. 3.
3. R. v. Magill (Y. Terr. Ct.), préc., note 1, par. 13.
In the footnote 1, I didn't click the "suppress-author" box in the window of the Zotero WORD plugin. However, in the footnote 3, I click the "suppress-author" box and write in the prefix box, "R. v. Magill (Y. Terr. Ct.), préc.,".
The current processor version indeed does not suppress bare titles (such as a case name), and that is by design. That said, you have a project in progress, and the update should not interfere with your work. To restore the previous behavior in Zotero, you can install the Propachi Legacy plugin. To install, download the plugin file and save it to your desktop. Then run Zotero and click on Tools -> Add-ons to open the add-ons dialog. In the upper right-hand corner, click on the gear menu, and select "Install Add-on from File ...". Selecting the file will add it to Zotero. When you restart Zotero, your citations should process as you expect.
I haven't tested this myself, so if there are still problems in the appearance of citations, post back to this thread and we can try rolling the processor version used by the Propachi Legacy plugin back a bit further.
I understand of your last post that the Propachi Legacy plugin is a kind of temporary solution. However, this solution is perfect for me because I figure to finish my text before summer.
Lastly, I have a question about your comment: "Typing the body of the citation into the prefix field and suppressing everything else is not the best behavior for you: it would be better for the system to produce the correct forms for you automatically."
What should I do for my future projects? Do I need to learn how to modify the code (commands) of the style of reference writing that I use in Zotero, the style «Guide des références pour la rédaction juridique 7e édition (Guide Lluelles, French - Canada)»?
