Yes, thanks! That's what I want.
But I still want to advocate for a cleaner and consistent solution, if there is no good reason to prohibit references in auto-titles.

A caption might look like this: "Figure 1: Average grain yield of wheat in Germany from 1961 to 2020 in comparison to the experimental genetic trend and the resulting residual trend. data: (FAOSTAT, 2021), year 2020 (Destatis, 2020)." Of course, cheating solutions are possible, but that co...

As far as I see, when you try to insert a Bookends-reference in any auto-title it just happens nothing. This attempt might seem a bit weird but because figure captions are actually handled by auto-titles that is a real matter for me and I think references in figure captions are not so strange in sci...

Thanks for the last decade! I think captions should finally be realised in the next one…

I would love to see real table captions and at the same time of course real figure captions .

Thanks, quite exactly what I was looking for.

I'm using APA-5. If I try your proposed process, I don't know how to place the '%', that the original reference is reduced to the year.

Thanks a lot for your reply. My format does require to have the year in parentheses. Any suggestions for this case?

I'm using Bookends as reference manager in combination with Mellel. To produce a citation like "Lukina et al. (1999) showed, that…" it's possible to forward the citation with a "%" (%Lukina et al., 1999, #632) to get only the year of publication, but it is necessary to hard code ...

A serious image caption functionality was once promised for Mellel 4.0, but later dropped for the release. They told me the functionality will come with a following release. So I'm feeling your pain because I'm waiting for years, but there is hope and I'm sure the Redlers will do it better than anyo...

I want to strongly support the comment by ulrich_ulisses! I was quite enthusiastic because it seemed that figure captions are finally introduced and this is the only obstacle for me to use Mellel for scientific writing. So why isn't it possible to use auto titles in text boxes? Please introduce this...
