Doesn't work with date bibtex field (only with year)

[raffaem]

The RStudio Visual Editor is automatically exporting this entry from Zotero:

@article{agrawalFindingNeedlesHaystacks2018,
	title = {Finding Needles in Haystacks: Artificial Intelligence and Recombinant Growth},
	date={2018},
	author = {Agrawal, Ajay and McHale, John and Oettl, Alex},
	doi = {10.3386/w24541}
}

But the entry is rendered without any date, just Agrawal et al. and

Agrawal, A., McHale, J., Oettl, A., . Finding needles in haystacks: Artificial intelligence and recombinant growth doi:10.338
6/w24541.

in the references.

Looks like it needs a field called year:

@article{agrawalFindingNeedlesHaystacks2018,
	title = {Finding Needles in Haystacks: Artificial Intelligence and Recombinant Growth},
	year={2018},
	author = {Agrawal, Ajay and McHale, John and Oettl, Alex},
	doi = {10.3386/w24541}
}

If anybody else experiences the same issue, make sure that your .bib file is formatted according to bibtex and not biblatex. This can be set when exporting from Zotero or other reference management software.
