Citation Undefined after Update and .doc Duplication

Report ID 1517162588

Zotero continues to give me an error message that "citation is undefined". I have the most recent update of zotero, and I have made duplicate documents and tried to debug the document.

Once working in the duplicated document I added a citation and it worked, hooray, I move on thinking I've debugged it, but when I added a new citation I got the same error message again. I also tried using field modes and it also didn't work.

    Sorry about that. We'll look into this, but have you tried simply restarting Zotero?

    I have, simply restarting it made no change to the error message. When I switch the citation style, and then go back to the original style, it *sometimes* works. So I'm basically just struggling through it right now.

    OK. @adomasven will have to look into this.

    Could you produce a Debug ID from Zotero?

    1. In the Zotero Help menu, go to Debug Output Logging and select Enable.
    2. Attempt to insert a citation in the document, wait for the error dialog to show up and click "OK",
    3. Before doing anything else, return to Help → Debug Output Logging and click Submit Output, which will disable logging and submit the output to zotero.org. A window should pop up containing a Debug ID. Click “Copy to Clipboard” and paste the Debug ID into this forum thread.

    Which version of Word are you using (like 16.20)? Try reinstalling the Zotero Word plugin from Zotero Preferences -> Cite -> Word Processors and see whether it works better in a new document.

    re-installed Zotero in and restarted the comp, which fixed it.
