Suffix for one citation not showing up

Hi!

I am trying to add the year of a second citation from the same author using the suffix field, but it does not show up.

I need to do it this way because the two citations are split by the citation from a different author (I use APA 6th ordered by year).

Example:

Automatic output:

First et al., 2015; Second et al., 2016; First et al., 2017

Desired output:

First et al., 2015, 2017; Second et al., 2016

I’ve tried to accomplish this by

  1. set “First et al., 2017” to show in bibliography only

  2. add “, 2017” as a suffix to “First et al., 2015”

I used this workaround before (in the same document even) and it works just fine. The same citation list has a prefix (“e.g.”) which shows up. I tried to add the year to another citation in the list (e.g. “Second et al., 2016, 2017”) and it does work fine as well. Is literally just this ione citation that seems not to allow this.

Other things I tried that did not work:

  • Play around with the order of the citations in the editor panel (e.g. put the two citations from the same first author next to each other, at the end of the list) 

  • Save, close, and reopen the Word document + EndNote

  • Turn automatic formatting off/on

  • Force the update of citations/bibliography

Any idea?

Thanks for the response, but the formatting here is not the issue. Here’s the real citation copied/pasted from word

{e.g. \Röder, 2002 #1229;Bedny, 2011 #1222;Burton, 2003 #1230;Lane, 2015 #1145;Amedi, 2003 #1231;Raz, 2005 #1232;Park, 2011 #1233; Lane, 2015 #1145`, 2017;Lane, 2017 #1228@@hidden ;Kanjlia, 2016 #1146}

The bolded citations are the ones I’m talking about

I tried to change it to your way, as in practice “in bibliography only” and “exclude author & year” would accomplish the same goal, but it didn’t solve the problem. The issue I think it’s with the citationa I do want to show + add a suffix to it, rather than the one that gets hidden.
