Re: Custom reference types/field labels missed after update

citation options for different types

Is it possible to set citation options for different types when using a particular referencing style (Harvard). I would like to use one configuration of Author, Date for journal articles and another for EU publications i.e. "Atkinson, B" vs. "European Commission", for example. Is...
