References appear in this format (called "temporary citations") when Instant Formatting is disabled. Instant Formatting is the feature of Cite While You Write (CWYW) that formats in-text citations and corresponding references according to the style rules of the output style the user has selected. By default, Instant Formatting is enabled, but it can be inadvertently disabled. It can also be purposefully disabled to write more efficiently.
To enable Instant Formatting, use the toggle switch to turn it on (see screenshot). When turned on, all the "temporary citations" will automatically format.
