Hi,
I am working on a citation style and have encountered a problem that I cannot solve.

I write a macro "event" and then I call upon it in another macro "issue", which in turn is called upon in <bibliography>.

I want the "event" macro to provide a certain text for a "conference-paper" and another text string for speech. However, Zotero refuses to provide the text written in the "event" macro. All other stuff works nicely.

Below I post the macros "event" and "issue as well as <bibliography>. Any and all assistance is appreciated.
