I put it in the form of a question, because I'm not sure, but ... 1. I wasn't sure Nicolas was aware of this config option, nor how one would configure it currently (but it seems necessary in general) 2. If you set default to autocite=inline, which is to say the non-bare/plain style, the issue you note goes away? > cite/year => \citeyear won't work as this will just print the year > without wrapping it in parentheses.

You will then have a regular bare citation (= "Doe 2020", or > "Doe, Title") instead of just the year or the title in parentheses. OK, this is one of those nuances; I need to think on this one.
