Zotero includes whole author name in footnotes
Hello!
I ran into a problem. When adding new books in Zotero, I always split first name and surname. I've checked, and I have done the same thing with these ones.
I cite Joseph A. Maxwell several times. I use the style APA 7th with footnotes. All other authors are cited like this: "Silverman 2010: 109" or "Strauss & Corbin 1994", but not Maxwell. The footnotes on three separate(!) Maxwell volumes are cited like this in the footnotes:
"Joseph A. Maxwell 2012: vii" // "Joseph A. Maxwell 2013: 29" etc. A few days ago, I know for certain that the footnotes read "Maxwell 2013: 29". What in the world is going on here? And how can I fix this?

I'm pretty sure you're seeing a version of https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/given_name_disambiguation then
The item is not deleted and not duplicated.
I tried changing the style in document preferences to the original Norsk APA, and then back to my modified version. That fixed the issue, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it happened again.
I’ve changed Maxwell’s name to the exact same form for all items. Hope that helps permanently. Thanks for the link!
