Upgrade StorageLast & First Name in same field divided by comma --> (Lastname, Year) impossible?
Hello Zotero Team, hello community,
i have made a bad mistake by writing the last and first name in the same field. Now I have over 400 reference and want to have the citation (Smith, 1776) but instead I am getting (Smith, Adam 1776) because I have created it manually as Smith, Adam. Is their a syntax for th CLS to avoid the First name by leaving out everything after in "comma"? Somehow in the Macro <macro name="author-short">
<names variable="author">
<name form="short" and="symbol" delimiter=", " delimiter-precedes-last="never" initialize-with=". "/>?
Or do I have to manually switch all author fields to "two fields"? But then it always puts the first Name which is currently after the comma on position one. I would really appreciate your help.

There's no way to fix most data entry problems in citation styles, sorry.
