Upgrade StorageRemoving 3-em dashes from the subsequent author names
Hello,
I am currently using the Chicago Style 17th edition for my citations. My publisher has requested that I replace the 3-em dashes, which typically appear in the bibliography for entries by the same author or authors of multiple works, with the actual names of the author(s) or editor(s). I attempted to edit this by removing the "subsequent-author-substitute" element, but I couldn't locate it in my code in the first place. Additionally, I am unable to upload my citation code here. What should I do?
Thank you.

I appreciate your help.
What if I want to remove the “ibid” as well?
Thank you.
If you don't want ibid, that's more complex to edit, but there are all sorts of Chicago styles without ibid you can use.
Thank you

Not sure if this has been resolved yet, but I had the exact same problem and stumbled upon this thread so I'll post my solution anyway :)
I was not able to find the subsequent author substitute in the visual csl editor, but you can do this instead:
- Go to the 'Code editor' tab in the csl editor
- Scroll right to the bottom of the csl code in the bottom window
- Line 650 contains the opening tag for the bibliography formatting; it should look like this:
<bibliography hanging-indent="true" et-al-min="11" et-al-use-first="7" subsequent-author-substitute="———" entry-spacing="0">- Delete the entire subsequent author tag (i.e., subsequent-author-substitute="———") - I believe this is what adamsmith was getting at
- Line 650 should now look like this:
<bibliography hanging-indent="true" et-al-min="11" et-al-use-first="7" entry-spacing="0">Then just go back to the 'Visual editor' tab, use the 'Style' drop-down in the top left to save the modified csl and import it into Zotero.

The full note bibliography could be copied into a document using any other of the other Chicago note versions. That is, create a copy of your document, insert the bibliography using Chicago full note, then copy & paste that document into your existing document using, say, Chicago (note).
Sending a big, big thank you for creating the bibliography styles without the em dashes. This is such a huge service to the community. I cannot tell you how much time you have saved us not having to replace the em dashes in a large book bibliography before submission to a publisher. Wonderful!
Many, many thanks!
