@moniqabeatty You are citing an Act, which is synonymous with Statute - see your AUT link, first line under the header "Acts (Statutes)". The issue isn't the item type, but that your specific instructions deviate from typical APA style. APA's cit…

Not sure exactly what @bwiernik is referring to as I don't have "legislation" as an option, I assume they mean the "Statute" item type (at least in Zotero 7). APA uses the n.d. is the placeholder when there is no date available. Check the data of t…

I am getting this as well. I'm not sure if it has anything to do with it but figured I would add some details about my experience in case it helps you identify why it is occuring. I am working with a large document, so I've turned off automatic upda…

Bumping this thread - I was going to raise the same issue. It would be great if I could select which is the "main"/default child item - Is the complication related to the fact that the first child item typically adopts the file name from the parent?…

thank you for directing me to these things!! I'll be sure to back up as well, have a USB I'll leave safe at home AND a USB I'll take with me.

this worked, thank you very much!

Edit: just realized I can just put the stuff from the "extra" field into the "code" field and that fixes it... I know it's not really using Zotero as designed but works for McGill Guide. so suppose you can consider this resolved, I just can't figure…

NOTE: Why isn't there any Metadata? I'm following the advice from the University of Victoria School of Law on how to optimize Zotero for the McGill Guide: https://s3.amazonaws.com/zotero.org/images/forums/u4655716/6z8ikjtwq891d9gxonw9.png

@adamsmith that did the trick!!! Thank you so much

@dstillman thank you for clarifying this! It sounds like iPadd app's best usability is working WITHIN the library (ie: researching, reading, editing sources) but not quite as good for the writing/citation aspect of the process. I appreciate your hel…

@.meia @library_chic there seems to be some information about how to use the "extra" place for book review & music score: https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/item_types_and_fields#citing_fields_from_extra perhaps you already are aware, but figured…

@adamsmith incredible! I initially doubted thinking it would come out as [John, Jr. Smith] but it looks correct in the main citation. Thanks for bringing this tip to my attention!

thanks!

@damnation can you advise how I can change back to the 9th edition? I'd prefer to use that for my work until 10th ed is all sorted out :)

not sure if screenshots showed up properly, here they are again: 1) example of library catalogue issue in journal articles: https://s3.amazonaws.com/zotero.org/images/forums/u4655716/m71gr0oqflkep1z92boo.png 2) example of newspaper location issue …

removing the citations & adding back fixed them, thanks! I tested out the 10th edition, I put my comments on them https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/comment/458861#Comment_458861 since it seems like the more appropriate forum, hope that's oka…

@damnation I've tested out the McGill Guide 10 as per our discussion on https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/119708/style-error-mcgill-guide-to-legal-citation-supra-error-for-cases#latest I've made some notes on issues I see - please forgive me i…

@damnation I fear I am not sure how to test/what testing out means. My BF is a programmer so I'm going to ask him to walk me through that - but he's not really a Zotero guy, is there any instructions on the Zotero page you can direct us to? Re the…

@dstillman Thanks for clarifying this for me! Sounds like a great idea for the future version of Zotero - would that be in a Zotero 7 update, or the very distant future in Zotero 8?

I don't have an answer but hop it is alright to hop on the same thread with a few follow up question on this topic, as to not clutter up the forums. Is there a way to see how much space that the files that I currently have are taking up? Can this b…
