CSL STYLE ERROR: reference with no printed form.

gugushika
I use China National Standard GB/T 7714-2015 (note, 中文). The note said "CSL STYLE ERROR: reference with no printed form" when I tried to cite a paper again. (It works well in the first citation. )
I found on our forum that some users encountered the same problem when using other formats. I guess it needs updating.

    I have the same issue with the various CSL styles (non-custom & custom) I have recently tried in Zotero 7.0.32 on Kubuntu 24.04. Right click on an item > create bibliography from item > in pop-up window, select citation style (output mode Bibliography;Copy to clipboard) > ok. I paste into Librewriter, and a properly formatted citation shows in Librewriter.

    However, if I repeat the process (starting with a right click on the same item), "[CSL STYLE ERROR: reference with no printed form.]" appears in Librewriter.

    If I try the process again on a new (i.e., second) item, a properly formatted citation shows in Librewriter, but it only works for the second item once. If I repeat the process on the second item, I get the error message above.

    Same thing happens if I paste into another application, e.g., the KDE text editor, Kate. A citation from an item will paste into Kate and appear in the correct format the first time, but when I repeat the process for the same item, it shows "[CSL STYLE ERROR: reference with no printed form.]" in Kate.
