Need to make one slight tweak to bibliographic format code

My preferred bibliographic format is Modern Language Association 9th edition. I often use the "Extra" field to hold information about book illustrators. Right now the preview/export shows a comma after "Illustrated by ... ". I simply want to change this comma to a period. This is for personal use and I am not in any way suggesting a permanent change, since my primary use of Zotero is personal. I've tried looking at where in the source code to make this change but so far have been unsuccessful. Need guidance as to where to go to change just that one character. Thanks!
  • Can you paste a full output here? What item type are you talking about. Hard to guess.
  • I've attached an image of the Zotero dialog with all of the existing fields for an entry.

    Below are the existing and preferred formats. Hope this helps. Thanks!

  • The illustrator is printed out via the "other-contributors" macro. That comma is from line 321 in the style.
    While you can change the delimiter in 321 that will also make it into a dot in other places.
