reference includes all names instead of et al (APA style)

Hi,

It often happens when I include a reference of a title with three authors that the reference appears with all names instead of name+ et al. Is there a way I can prevent this to happen, or is it something in the software?

Also, when I manually change the reference in the text, it automatically changes back into the way it was inserted. So If you replace the last to names with et al, the citation always automatically changes back to its original state!

Many thanks in advance,

Maya

btw, I use Zotero's beta version
