Help modifying ASA 6th ed to EUP House Style for Bibliography
Hi, I'm trying to modify ASA 6 to Edinburgh UP's author-date house style. In EUP's style, the Bibliography places the year in parentheses, and then uses commas instead of periods to divide the elements. The closest to EUP's author-date style is ASA 6, so far as I can see. I managed to use the style editor to place the year in parentheses, but need help replacing periods with commas. Below are examples of EUP bibliographical entries:

Anyway, usually that dot at the end is set on the line starting with layout within the "bibliography" block at the bottom. There should be a suffix you need to change back to just a dot.
I'm still encountering difficulties -- no doubt from not understanding the code and just replacing all the suffixes and prefixes from ". " to ", " -- here's the problem I'm having now with journal articles in the bibliographic results:
Apperley, Thomas, and Jussi Parikka (2018), ‘Platform Studies’ Epistemic Threshold’, Games and Culture 13(4):349–69,.
[comma and period at the end of entry]
Also, my solution I mentioned should work. Did you find what I suggested?
I just ended up doing a find-and-replace deal in word to manually fix all the stuff and make it conform to the peculiarities of EUP house style. sigh. turned out to be faster.
