Avoiding Abbreviated Numbers in Chicago Style (16th)
My group project is using Zotero within Google Docs to write a joint publication. Because of the length of the project and the complications with citing works in multiple volumes, we decided to avoid abbreviating any page/column numbers (1123–1141 rather than 1123–41).
Based on our discipline, we have chosen Chicago Style (16th) in the author-date format. We came up with a solution within the running text: we simply use an en-dash rather than the hyphen. We always get the full page/column numbers. Yet, the bibliography still has the abbreviated numbers even when an en-dash is entered in the Zotero database for the bibliographic item.
We do not have the technical capacity to produce an individual style for our project, so the suggestion here (https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/84383/csl-style-page-number-format) about creating a new .csl style is not an option for us.
Does anyone have an idea how to "trick" Zotero into displaying the full page range given our limitations?

You open the style in notepad, change the setting as explained, give it a different name, save the file.
