How to resolve "[Record #9063 is using a reference type undefined in this output style.]" in bibliograophy?

Hi there,

I’m using EndNote online for Mac, and in my end-text reference list I have two messages that have appeared beneath/above different citations:

“[Record #9063 is using a reference type undefined in this output style.]” (the second one has a different record #). I currently do not even have that number of references in my library.

How do I remove this/resolve this? I’m not sure which citations they are attached to - I’ve tried deleting/editing/re-inserting the citations either side of this message, but this message never disappears, no matter which reference I remove! I was using APA 7, so i tried changing to APA 6 which made the messages disappear, but APA 6 brought a whole lot of other formatting issues/I really should be using APA 7.

Thanks in advance!

Hi all - an update! I now realise the two messages are referring to two citations that aren’t appearing in APA 7 format as it seems that format is unable to read “Government Document” reference styles - any answers for this?

Hi Leanne,

Thanks for your reply. It’s actually in APA 7th that I’m having the issues with the two Government document citations popping up with that message instead of the reference. I’ve just checked on my Endnote desktop app (I have been working from Endnote online with this particular document) and have found that Gov Document is not infact one of the pre-loaded Templates in APA 7th. Maybe I’ll just chenge them to the general “Report”… but then I’m not sure that will provide all the fields I’d like…

I had the same issue, APA 7th does not like “Generic” or “Computer Application” categories. 

Hello, 

Following up on this question. So, what is the solution for this then? I had the same problem when using “Government document” and “Standard” in APA 7th Ed 

This is the error message: 

[Record #625 is using a reference type undefined in this output style.]

Thank you in advance
