Problems with the literature list in Zotero (and citation style)

Hey there,

I'm using Zotero for the first time due to my Bachelors thesis. I now put in the first citations, but Zotero (and the online lists) didn't have the citation style my Uni requests. So I took a similar and changed everything in the then generated list by hand...this was good enough, till I put in a second citation. Zotero changed my first by hand changed citation back to the style it was orginally...not the style I had changed it to. So every time now i add another citation, it all goes back to the beginning. The only solution I see now, is to change it all at the end, but that would be super annoying to wait till then.

Maybe somebody knows a solution for that? I would really be grateful!

Or maybe somebody could even help me to find the right citation style for using?

This is what my Uni wants:

In the text it should say [Domb 16] after the sentence I want to quote. This is the 4 first letters of the author and the year of publishing. In the literature list it then should look like this:

[Domb 16] Name, N. (1. letter of first name): Title. Edition. Location: Publishing company Year.

Example:

[Bäns 03] Bänsch, A.: Wissenschaftliches Arbeiten: Seminar und Diplomarbeiten. 8. Auflage. München: Oldenbourg 2003.


But first it would help me to know if there is a solution with this refreshing problem :) Thank you soo much!
