Issue: Zotero doesn't add letters to same-year publications

strasma
Hey there,
I have a problem. My Zotero doesn't add letters to same-year publications. Neither to a parenthetical citation nor a bibliographic one. It just writes down every single author in order to distinguish the two. I had even filled in the full publication date so that Zotero could recognize it, but nothing happened.

What can I do?
Thanks in advance!

    What citation style?
  • adamsmith
    And could we please the the citation and bibliography entry of two such items.
  • strasma
    Sure,

    citation style is APA 7th (Czech language mode) and entries look like this:
    1)
    Bibliographic:
    Lebeda, T., Lysek, J., Marek, D., Brusenbauch Meislová, M., Soukup, M., Zymová, K., Zapletalová, M., Folwarczný, R., Basl, J., Zatloukal, T., Macková, B., Janega, J., Andrys, O., Pražáková, D., Hájek, O., & Daniel, S. (2022). Vybrané faktory ovlivňující vzdělávací výsledky žáků: Sekundární analýza TIMSS 2019. Česká školní inspekce (ČSI). https://www.csicr.cz/CSICR/media/Prilohy/2022_přílohy/Dokumenty/Sekundarni-analyza-TIMSS-2019_final.pdf

    2)
    Bibliographic:
    Lebeda, T., Lysek, J., Marek, D., Zatloukal, T., Andrys, O., Pavlas, T., Pražáková, D., Soukup, M., Zymová, K., Folwarczný, R., Macková, B., Janega, J., & Borkovcová, I. (2022).

    -------------------------------------
    single parenthetical citation: (Lebeda et al., 2022)

    parenthetical citation when used together: (Lebeda, Lysek, Marek, Brusenbauch Meislová, et al., 2022; Lebeda, Lysek, Marek, Zatloukal, et al., 2022)

    What I need it to look like when used together: (Lebeda et al., 2022a; Lebeda et al., 2022b)

    Thanks!

    What you're seeing is correct APA style, though. APA doesn't want you to use a/b for different author groups.
    You can modify the style by removing disambiguate-add-names="true" (or use a different one)
  • bwiernik
    Yes, just to reiterate, what you are seeing is correct APA style. Letters are only added for exactly the same author groups

    Got it, thanks :)
