Citation (with multiple authors) stupidly long in Lyx?

i want it to show

[Author1 et al.(2008)]

when cited during my paper/thesis but it still shows all the authors!

[Author1 et al.(2008)Author2,Author3 and Author4]

which kind of defeats the purpose of the phrase et al.

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.

And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

minimal working example included! just download all 3 then compile the master.

a.bib: (155 Bytes) Downloaded 232 times

child.lyx: (1.39 KiB) Downloaded 252 times

master.lyx: (4.4 KiB) Downloaded 260 times

i want to add that the names look fine under jabref. it would correctly show

[Author1 et al.(2008)]

but it becomes long once compiled.
