Taylor and Francis X style with full names not initials

DimaSmaira
We are having trouble editing the Harvard referencing style in Zoteor. We need one which mentions the full names and not the initials of authors.
e.g.: Smith, Jenna, and Jones, Jim. 2012. Asia’s Future: Integration in Progress. New York: First & Bros.
This is for the journal is the International Spectator which is part of Taylor & Francis

    We'd want to have this style fixed, if necessary, for all our users. It would take me 10min to fix this if it indeed needs fixing.

    Looking into this I get the following:
    Style guide for Internation Spectator, mentions Harvard X: https://files.taylorandfrancis.com/ref_rspe.pdf
    Style guide for T&F Harvard X our style is based on: https://files.taylorandfrancis.com/tf_X.pdf

    They don't match, hence the abbreviated first names for authors. Could you check back with the journal/T&F and clarify this?
    I'd be happy to make the change, but it needs to make sense.

    Hello, thanks for this. We got in touch with the journal editors and they confirmed that: the 'style sheet requires the first names (it is a customized version of Harvard X)'
    and so the style to follow is the one on the following link: https://files.taylorandfrancis.com/ref_rspe.pdf

    Would you be able to arrange this?

    Hello, would you be able to fix the above as suggested please?

    Bwiernik and adamsmith, let me know what we should do here. A custom style just for this journal or another Harvard X variant? It's messy from T&F to call two different styles the same.
