Hi all,

Doesn’t it make sense to automatically suppress all authors in a citation as soon as one has been suppressed? I don’t see where it might be necessary to suppressing one but don’t suppress the other author names in a citation.

The following screenshot is aimed for better illustration.

Thankfully,

Robert
