Artwork "Attributed to"

charles 1301
Hello,

Very often, for the old artworks (paintings, drawings ...), the author is not known with certainty and it is necessary to specify "(attributed to)".

An example : If for the type "Artwork", in the field "Artist" we enter
Name = Vermeer and First Name = Johannes (attributed to)

Bibliography will give: VERMEER Johannes (attributed to).
It's perfect.
But the citation will give: Johannes (attributed to) VERMEER.
No correct.

I use InVisu style but with other styles it's the same.

How to fix this very important problem?
Would there be a possibility of circumventing this limitation of Zotero using the "Extra" field, as for complex dates?

Or can we hope a future update of Zotero will correct this problem?

    There isn’t formal support for these types of labels in CSL, but you should be able to get the correct output by entering the given name as:
    Johannes (attributed to)

    No, that's exactly what I explained in my message. Maybe badly. Sorry, I'm French.

    Ah, I didn’t look closely at the citation for that style. Unfortunately, that is currently the only option available to you other than manually typing “attributed to” in the bibliography as a final step after you unlink your document from Zotero.
  • charles 1301
    Yes. Unfortunately.
    But I think that many art historians are facing this problem.

    There is likely a need for a general way to give a label to creators (e.g., APA and MLA gave detailed requirements for specific creator labels that aren’t likely to ever be fully implemented into CSL), but a change along those lines is not likely to come soon.
