In the style for the Pontifical Biblical Institute, I include the following code, with the goal of using "ibid" only in the case that the "ibid" is included in the same footnote as the previous citation:


<citation near-note-distance="0" disambiguate-add-names="true" disambiguate-add-givenname="true" disambiguate-add-year-suffix="false">
<layout suffix="." delimiter="; ">
<choose>
<if position="ibid">
<choose>
<if position="near-note">
<text term="ibid" text-case="capitalize-first" font-style="italic"/>
<text macro="locator" prefix=", "/>
</if>
<else>

I am pretty sure this previously worked correctly (cf. for example https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/20563/new-style-please-upload-pontifical-biblical-institute/), however it is currently not working. It always returning "false" on the line <if position="near-note">, even when it should return true.

If I change the "near-note-distance" to 1, it works correctly for citations that are actually in the next footnote, but even then it never works for citations that are in the same footnote.

Thanks for your help!
