Author surname initial in citation
I have the problem, that in some citations within the text in word the inital of the authors surname appears although the 2 entries in the bibliography have the exact same first author name. E.g. "Wheelwright S et al. (2013a)" und "Wheelwright S et al. (2013b)". How can I change the automatically filled in citation without manually altering it in the text every time?
In Zotero itself appears "Wheelwright et al." in the column "Ersteller".

adamsmithyou're seeing https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/given_name_disambiguation

katharina.goeddeI checked every step recommended in the link and I already tried everything except "Disabled Automatic Citation Updates", nothing helped. I just manually corrected the 2 affected author citations and will leave it at that for now.

adamsmithGiven your other thread, I'm guessing you somehow have items in your text for which the metadata isn't connected to Zotero anymore (this most commonly happens when deleting duplicates or when using export/import of your library). That would mean that updating author first names in Zotero wouldn't fix this (and that journal abbreviations added there wouldn't be reflected)

katharina.goeddeso deleting and adding the citation in the text again is the best way to go about it?

adamsmithI'm afraid, yes.
