Upgrade StorageCustom style with first author only and no "et al."
For my Word document, I would like to set up a custom Zotero style that consists of the only of the first author's name followed by the year (no "et al."), e.g. "Smith 2001".
Following Zotero documentation, I imported the apa.csl file into the visualEditor at editor.citationstyles.org/visualEditor/ and proceed to customise it; however, I am having trouble achieving my aim:
1) Under the "inline citations" options, I've set "et-al-min" to 2, but saw no option that can hide the "et al." itself
2) When saving the style as a local file and importing it into Zotero (from Preferences|CiteManager), I get the message "An unexpected error occurred while installing fileName.csl".

See if the style still won't install, if so provide an error report ID.
