Refreshing keeps reverting changes
I've learned how to modify bibliography without zotero messing it up for me.
But now the problem are the cites, when I modify them and then refresh it prompts me, do you want to keep your changes, i press yes on all of them and only the last cite keeps my modifications, all the rest revert back and delete my modifications.
Tried to search this forum but cant really find anything that helps, this almost seems like a bug.

That said, you should not modify citations directly in word, but instead use Zotero’s Prefix, suffix, and page number fields:
https://www.zotero.org/support/word_processor_plugin_usage#customizing_cites
Never really hovered with my mouse over those, so didn't know this feature.
What word processor are you using?
I have also edited every cite through zotero now, so its not messing things up anymore when updating/refreshing.
I have tried adding a couple of cites now and editing them. While not deleting page numbers anymore, it does not like when I do this for example:
as stated by (blabla 2014) - i edit it manually to:
as stated by blabla (2014), when refreshing it asks me if i want to keep the changes, i press yes and it reverts back to (blabla 2014)
Upon refreshing it it just goes back to (blabla 2014)
Can I cite somehow where the brackets are only around the year and pp? It seems that zotero wants to put brackets around the whole highlighted field at all times.
You can use the "suppress author" checkbox in the citation editor to achieve what you are trying above without having to manually modify the citations. However, you should still answer the questions above, since if there is a genuine bug in Zotero, we need to figure out what's causing it and fix it.

I can recreate the problem every single time
I'll update this thread once I have time to take a look at the refresh bug with Windows Word, but LibreOffice behaves correctly.

try the Journal of Social Philosophy style. It's the only author-date format I've found that doesn't use brackets around the author. If anyone has an alternative, I'd be happy to hear of it.
