How to add URL access date in Quarto pdf references

Time:12-30

I am trying to add a last accessed field to web references in a Quarto PDF. Here is a minimal example of a qmd file:

---
title: "How to cite a URL with access date"
format: pdf
bibliography: references.bib
---

I am using @stackoverflow1, @stackoverflow2 and @stackoverflow3.

# References

::: {#refs}
:::

This is references.bib:

@online{stackoverflow1,
  title = {Stack Overflow with note},
  url   = {https://stackoverflow.com/},
  year  = {2022},
  note  = {https://stackoverflow.com/, last accessed on 2022-12-30}
}

@online{stackoverflow2,
  title   = {Stack Overflow with urldate},
  url     = {https://stackoverflow.com/},
  year    = 2022,
  urldate = {2022-12-30}
}

@online{stackoverflow3,
  title    = {Stack Overflow with accessed},
  url      = {https://stackoverflow.com/},
  year     = {2022},
  accessed = {2022-12-30}
}

The output is,

enter image description here

As you can see, the note, urldate and accessed fields are all ignored. I have tried using different csl files, e.g. URL access date in Quarto pdf references


accessed field is still being ignored but urldate and note is working as intended.
