Upgrade StorageChanging the formatting of a bibliography to look like citation
Apologies if this is a duplicate post; couldn't find what I was looking for.
How do I change the formatting of my bibliography (using slightly modified Chicago 17 author-date style) to be in a citation-type formatting rather than a bibliography-type formatting?
In other words, I want my bibliography to be styled like this:
Aaron, D. H.
2001. Biblical Ambiguities: Metaphor, Semantics and Divine Imagery (The Brill Reference Library of Ancient Judaism 4; Leiden: Brill).
not like this:
Aaron, D. H.
2001. Biblical Ambiguities: Metaphor, Semantics and Divine Imagery. The Brill Reference Library of Ancient Judaism 4. Leiden: Brill.
(There are hundreds of entries so I don't want to do it manually.)
Thanks for any help!

It is for the journal Currents in Biblical Research, which has a very eclectic guide available here:
https://journals.sagepub.com/pb-assets/cmscontent/CBI/CBRStyleGuide_Updated_2020.pdf
It turns out there is a CSL file for the Currents in Biblical Research style, but it has numerous errors in it and would be just as much trouble to fix as manually correctly the existing entries.
- No semicolon between a series and the location
- DOI included when it shouldn't be (I fixed this but deleted the final period in the process)
- Spaces between editors initials in a chapter of an edited volume (there shouldn't be spaces)
- Entries indented using spaces rather than tabs, which makes it difficult to update spacing for all entries automatically.
- Long dashes for page ranges rather than short dashes
- Doesn't use journal abbreviations in Zotero (e.g., see Kruger below)
- Doesn't note when the scholar is an editor of a volume among a list of other resources they've authored (see van Hecke 2010 Metaphors in the Psalms)
- Weird date entry when it's not just a year (see van Hecke and Labahn 2010 below with "December 31")
- Weird entry in between van Hecke 2005a and 2005b.
Here are some samples:
This is what it does now:

This is what it should do (except for tabbed indents which don't show here in these comments):

And I know there are more errors!
I think it's too much trouble to automate this. I'll keep chugging away at manual fixes and hopefully be done within a few days!
