Two papers from same author in same year citation problem - Chicago

drseamus
I have two papers with the same authors from the same year. I am using the Chicago Manual of Style (Author-Date) formatting. They should have an 'a' and a 'b' at the end of the year to distinguish between the two, but they don't.

    I can't replicate this problem. Are you sure you have identical author information entered for both items? If you still experience the problem, please export the two items (e.g. as Zotero RDF) and send them to support@zot....org

    Damn, you're right. One of the papers has an author that the other doesn't but the rest of the authors are the same for both. The end result is that I get two citations that look the same, i.e. (Catheline et al. 1999, Catheline et al. 1999). Is there a way to prevent this from happening?
