Zotero incorrectly suppressing author in subsequent citations

I am having some trouble with subsequent citations in my Word document. When I insert two references to the same author in a footnote, the second one always returns the author's name suppressed -- which I do not want. (The "Suppress author" box is not checked.)

For instance, two consecutive references to Jones 2012 in one footnote will look like this:
[3] Jones 2012: 12-13. For discussion of something else, see 2012: 44-50.

I don't see anything in the field code that would prevent "Jones" from reappearing in the second reference. I'm using the style for Oxford Studies on the Roman Economy (https://www.zotero.org/styles/oxford-studies-on-the-roman-economy), slightly modified to automatically add a period at the end of each footnote.

Oddly enough, I hadn't ever had this problem until I checked the "Suppress author" box in one citation in a document several months ago (when I wanted the author suppressed). Since then, Zotero has always shown this behavior, and I can't figure out why!

Any ideas as to why Zotero would be deleting the author's name in a subsequent citation?
  • That's just how the style is written -- I'm suspecting this is actually correct for a scenario like
    [3] Jones 2012, 2015
    and you're hitting an edge case.
    If you must use that structure, just insert the footnote in Word and then insert two separate citations in the footnote.
