Chicago Manual of Style 16th Edition in-text citation
Hi,
I am currently writing my bachelor thesis and I have to use CMS 16th ed.
As far as I know, in this style, if you have an in-text citation after a quotation you need to have the last name of the author(s) and the year, like this: (Last Name Year).
However, if I add a citation in Word, Zotero writes the full name of the author(s) and the year, like this: (First Name Last Name Year).
I don“t really know, why Zotero does this, because it is incorrect, according to CMS 16th ed.
Could anyone please help me out, how can I change it?
Many thanks in advance!

If that's the case, the bibliography entry would also look wrong with Firstname Lastname instead of Lastname, Firstname.
