How to change the citation style in Zotero note

starsareintherose
When I insert the citation in the note, it shows `(Robert, 2019, p.23)`, But I would like to let it show `Robert, 2019: 23`. How can I do it?

    You're using an author-date style that cites in brackets within the text.
    If you are looking for a footnote style you can pick one of the following:

    Thanks and sorry, I try different styles, but it doesn't work on the citations of notes. Maybe my operating way is not right. I change the style following the actions below.
    Edit > Preferences > Cite > Style Manager > Choose one style > OK

    I think this is about the citation style used for extracted notes in the beta. I don't believe that's customizable, at least not at this time.

    Okay, thanks, I get it. I thought it can be changed.

    Note that it is a sort of stand-in style. If you insert the note into a word document, citations will format according to the document citation style.

    That's right — it's the same format you see in the preview in the citation dialog.

    I know this post is five years old, I just wanted to share that I'd love a feature to change the citation style in notes.

    I often use them to collect relevant literature on a certain topic, and it would be very helpful for my memory to be able to see also the title, not only author and year when I access them at a later point in time.
