Need help editing citation style

xgino
I want to use the citation style Citation Compass (https://www.zotero.org/styles?q=id:citation-compass-apa-note&format=note) but I want the endnote/footnote citations to be in the exact same style as the bibliography. For example, instead of seeing this:

i Musk 2006

I would like to see this:

i Musk, E. (2006, August 2). The secret Tesla Motors master plan (just between you and me). Tesla Blog. https://www.tesla.com/blog/secret-tesla-motors-master-plan-just-between-you-and-me

I really need to figure this out ASAP for a paper I am working on so any help is appreciated. Thank you!

    Is this for a specific journal that you want to submit to?
    Probably easier for us to make a style and add it to the repository than you figuring out.

    But otherwise, you'd copy everything you find at the bottom of the style under bibliography > layout and add that to citation > layout a bit above.
    You'd then run it through the validator to make sure no errors appear: validator.citationstyles.org/

    Not for a specific journal, just for a professor that I am working with who wants specific citation styles. Thank you though! Everything worked perfectly.
