Problem with APA 5th Ed style?

I'm working on a document formatted with the APA 5th Ed style for references, and this keeps happening:
(Chevallereau & Aoustin, 2001; Gill, Murray, & Saunders, 2002; Joo H. Kim, Yang, & Abdel-Malek, 2008; Mu & Wu, 2003; Saidouni & Bessonnet, 2003; Xiang et al., 2010; Yamasaki, Kambara, & Koike, 2011)

Notice that the full first name and middle initial for the (Joo H. Kim, Yang, & Abdel-Malek, 2008) citation is spelled out, but this does not happen for the other 3-author citations in the group. I'd rather not edit by hand as this happens several times throughout the document.

Any thoughts? Thanks!

    this is required by the APA style and Zotero follows the APA's rules closely here.

    Edit: Alternatively, the author is input in single-field mode: That's for corporate authors only.
  • Wow I had no idea! Perfect, thank you.
