New Feature Request: Add/Edit Citation

IsmaelPaulo

Hi everyone, I'd like to request an improvement to the Add/Edit Citation tool.
I'd like it to have a citation formatting option. For example, when editing a citation, change the display type from (AUTHOR, YEAR) to (Author, YEAR) or Author, (YEAR), omit Author, omit Year, etc. (like EndNote).

To display Author, (YEAR), I currently need to use the Editor, and if I make this edit, the citation will no longer be updated.

    Don't edit the citation manually. Customize the citation and use Omit Author. See "Narrative Citations with Omit Author” there.

    Thanks for responding. Okay, I know this is a safe method of creating a narrative citation, but it leaves room for error since I have to type the author's name (sometimes the spelling can be tricky). So, I'd like to know where to request new features here in the community (I'd really like to know how to code so I can help).

    A better way of doing this is planned.
