1. Bibliography items for journal articles do not populate an 'accessed date' when sourced online.

From UWE library guidance:
Electronic format
How to format your reference
Author surname, initials. (Year) Title of the article. Journal Title [online]. Volume (part/issue), page numbers if available. [Accessed DD Month YYYY].

Note: You must put your italics, capitalisation and punctuation in the right place.

Example: Debusscher, P. and De Almagro, M.M. (2016) Post-conflict women's movements in turmoil: the challenges of success in Liberia in the 2005-aftermath. Journal of Modern African Studies [online]. 54 (2), pp. 293-316. [Accessed 20 January 2020].

Example: Grundey, D. (2007) Global marketing ethics: social and emotional-psychological issues in advertising to children. Transformations in Business Economics [online]. 6, pp. 41-64. [Accessed 10 January 2011].

Edit:
Apologies, I found an old forum post and have selected include URLs of paper articles in references.
I need to delete the URL but better than inputting the dates / inadvertently having the style broken!
Many thanks.

    Those guidelines just don't make sense. Why would you include an access date for such an article? The article will never change.
    I would just use undo the "include URL for paper articles..." option and cite normal, i.e. the bibliographic data without an acccess date.

    Preaching to the converted! I'm not sure why they don't use a standard style. Thank you for looking.
