how to make endnote stop autoformatting acronyms?

After my recent Endnot update there is a very annoying autoformat that tries to update and add citations in the text where there are acronyms or abbreviations. Even if I say “ignore all” it will consistently auto-format and add a random citation to an abbreviation I have for substance use disorder (SUD). I have played around with settings but can’t seem to get it to stop. Advice?

I have the output style set to JAMA (as that is where I am submitting) and yes now they look like normal parentheses. I changed it back to curly parentheses but it still autoformats the acronyms in the text (with normal parentheses). Any other ideas?

I changed the citations to unformatted and that does stop the problem, but interestingly does nothing to my references - they still look appropriately formatted so I migth just leave it like that but I don’t really understand what caused the problem to begin with.

I can’t see the formatting in the citation that you are referring to. It doesn’t change anything in my document other than the weird auto-formatting.

sorry I should have clarified - I am using a Mac. Same instructions?
