Upgrade StorageAuthors name abbreviation APA 7
Hi,
For some reason that i don't understand sometimes zotero automaticity inserts the first name abbreviation on the in text citations.
Sometimes is because I did some error on data, or haven't indicated which is the last name.
Still, sometimes it does this and I don't understand why. I suspect that is because maybe when there are two author with the same last name it automatically adds the abbreviation to differentiate them.
Does APA require this?
I don't have access to APA and haven't find in any free guide, so not sure if this is right, or if I'm doing something wrong.
Thanks!

bwiernikIf you have two authors with the same last name, APA _does_ want you to add the initials, even if different years.
