Chicago citation style (author-date) not listing page numbers

AljazMesner
Hello! I am exporting my notes from Zotero (BetterNotes) to a word document. The citations in notes are formatted as such: (Bria, 2019, p. 4), but when I export them to word and refresh using the Chichago author-date style it turns to (Bria 2019) with the page number ommited. How can I modify the style to include the page number? In the format with the semicolon not comma, so (Bria 2019: 4). I tried tinkering with code using AI to help me, but I was not successful.

    Can you reproduce this without better notes? Does any other style work correctly? The Chicago author-date style certainly does include page pinpoints (though in the form Bria 2019, 4, as prescribed by the Manual), so I'd guess the problem is elsewhere in the workflow.

    As far as I am aware without Betternotes you cannot export notes directly to a Word document. I have identified the problem actually, the page number is being copied over as plain text and not part of the embedded citation data, so when the in text citation is being formatted this information is being lost. I did a workaround of this issue by opening an empty word document and adding a note (which is a normal feature of Zotero, not through Betternotes) and the page numbers are preserved.
