Upgrade StorageCSL editing issues
Hello everybody,
I edit an existing .csl-file with the visual csl editor. I managed to make most changes needed by myself, but i need help for two issues i am still dealing with:
1) Is there any possibilty to get abbreviated middle names in the bibliography?
E.g. Instead of "Ertelt, Bernd Joachim (1996). [...]."
I need "Ertelt, Bernd J. (1996). [...]."
I do not see a possibility to do this, because when i activate abbreviation for names i get "Ertelt, B.J.". Which i not like.
2) I had some error while installing the new csl-file. Zotero says that i am not in line with standards of CSL 1.0.1. Bcause of this lines in the code:
<!-- <published>9/30/19
<!-- </published>
<!-- <updated>2019-10-01T10:06:46+00:00
<!-- </updated>
After reading some posts in this forum and checking the code with this amazing tool (http://simonster.github.io/csl-validator.js/) i deleted the published date and now it works fine. Just for my personal understand, why is this the case?
I am looking forward to your answers and thanks for your help.

2) The field needs to be a timestamp, i.e. 2019-09-30T10:06:46+00:00
The visual editor should probably do that automatically, but the field is rarely used so we've never bothered.
