Turabian: Date: Hyphenated Years
I use Turabian, and for the "Date:" field, if I want to document the span of years for a series, I would put 1956–1975, for example.
When I enter that into Zotero, it appears fine in the Zotero standalone application. However, it always just lists the first year "1956" in the footnote and Bibliography, and it ignores everything after the dash. This is true whether I use a hyphen, an emdash or an endash.
Any suggestions?

Thanks for your time.

adamsmithThere's no good way to enter/display date ranges at this point. Improvements are generally planned, but until then, the best I know of is to use an underscore between years to render the whole thing literally.
