Title field disambiguation problem

EndNote EndNote General
1

I’m having trouble using the following function: ‘When using the short form, include the title field only when needed to disambiguate a citation’

My Endnote CWYW is correctly using the long form to reference texts as footnotes in the first instance.

The trouble emerges when it adopts the short form for subsequent footnotes. If I have not yet cited the second text from an author, Endnote/CWYW assumes that it does not need to disambiguate through the Title field. 

For example, my first footnoted reference to the following text is correct:

 1. Giorgio Agamben, Homo Sacer: Sovereign Power and Bare Life(Stanford, CA: Stanford University Press, 1998), p. 198.

I would then like the second footnote to look as follows:

  1. Agamben, Homo Sacer, p. 200.

This is because my third footnote is by the same author:

3. Giorgio Agamben, The Use of Bodies: Homo Sacer IV, 2, trans. by Adam Kotsko (Stanford, CA: Stanford University Press, 2015), p. 84.

Footnote 4 should (and does) look like:

  1. Agamben, The Use of Bodies, p. 85.

Ordinarily, I would like the references to previously-cited texts to be written _without _the title:

5. Cynthia Marshall, ‘Wound-man: Coriolanus, gender, and the theatrical construction of interiority’, in Feminist Readings of Early Modern Culture_,_ ed. by Valerie Traub, M. Lindsay Kaplan, and Dympna Callaghan (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1996), pp. 93-118 (p. 109).

  1. Marshall, p. 110.

So, my footnotes currently (and incorrectly) look like this. NB the problem here is with footnote 2:

  1. Giorgio Agamben, Homo Sacer: Sovereign Power and Bare Life(Stanford, CA: Stanford University Press, 1998), p. 198.

  2. Agamben, p. 199.

3. Giorgio Agamben, The Use of Bodies: Homo Sacer IV, 2, trans. by Adam Kotsko (Stanford, CA: Stanford University Press, 2015), p. 84.

  1. Agamben, The Use of Bodies, p. 85.

5. Cynthia Marshall, ‘Wound-man: Coriolanus, gender, and the theatrical construction of interiority’, in Feminist Readings of Early Modern Culture_,_ ed. by Valerie Traub, M. Lindsay Kaplan, and Dympna Callaghan (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1996), pp. 93-118 (p. 109).

  1. Marshall, p. 110.

I would like them to look like the following (difference emboldened):

  1. Giorgio Agamben, Homo Sacer: Sovereign Power and Bare Life(Stanford, CA: Stanford University Press, 1998), p. 198.

  2. Agamben , Homo Sacer ,_ _p. 199.

3. Giorgio Agamben, The Use of Bodies: Homo Sacer IV, 2, trans. by Adam Kotsko (Stanford, CA: Stanford University Press, 2015), p. 84.

  1. Agamben, The Use of Bodies, p. 85.

5. Cynthia Marshall, ‘Wound-man: Coriolanus, gender, and the theatrical construction of interiority’, in Feminist Readings of Early Modern Culture_,_ ed. by Valerie Traub, M. Lindsay Kaplan, and Dympna Callaghan (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1996), pp. 93-118 (p. 109).

  1. Marshall, p. 110.

I’m using X7 and Mac OS Microsoft Word 16.18 with CWYW.

Any help gratefully received! Thank you.

It isn’t default, and I attach here.

Thanks for your help!

**CORRECTION: I am using Endnote X8.

Thanks, Leanne.

I agree, it does seem to be a bug. How can we get the Endnote team to fix it?

I’ve found another work around, which is as cumbersome as the one you suggested: listing all duplicated authors’ works at the beginning of the document as ‘Show in bibliography only’. But it’s untenable if I’ve got–as I do–many mupltiple texts from authors.

Thanks for your help.
