Full date in text before title only for one type of document
Hi, everyone (first post btw, so I'm sorry for any mistakes)
I looked for a solution but couldn't find an existing thread. I am working with a style called Spanish Legal (https://www.zotero.org/styles?q=spanish legal). (Actually a modified version I did myself with minor changes like reversing First Name-Surname order, changing quotation marks to guillemets etc.)
I want to be able to put the date information in full (day, month, year) and in text form ("28 of June of 2020") right after the author name and before the title of the document, but only for a specific type of document like "hearing", so that for all other documents (books, chapters...) the title appears after the author as usual, is this feasible?
Note: I use "hearing" as the type of document to reference case law, since it's easy for me to use the "publisher" field for the ECLI code used in case law in Europe. That way I have the title for that case in italics and that ECLI code in normal script.

<if type="hearing">

In this case though, I would recommend storing this as a case like any other and using a field like Loc. In Archive (`archive_location`) to store the ELCI.
I added an "else-if legal_case" with the data "author - date - title - abstract" in that order. I couldn't find "archive_location" in the visual editor as suggested above, but since I never use the abstract field anyway I might as well use it for the code identifier.

So since I started with minor changes and didn't distribute the style, it still has the original author's name, should I try to upload this modified version to the repository with my changes so other people can access it if they want to? The changes were done to comply with the style guide for my Master and Bachelor thesis at my Law School, and from what I've seen this version is more used than the one the original style had, but I don't know how to go about the distributing of a new style or even if I should do it

But if you look at specialised legal texts they all tend to follow the footnote rule (rarely endnotes and never within the main text) and more or less "author" in small-caps (or caps) followed by first name (abbreviated or not), "title" in italics, "publisher", "place of publishing", "year" for books.
It took me a while to find the original style I then modified, and I think it's the only one that remotely resembles this style used in the legal field in Spain, so maybe another variation would be welcome in the repository.
