TEV Should Be GNT; GNT Should Be UBS, NA, etc.

I know this could conflict with other modules, but technically the TEV module should be the GNT. Or, at the least, when a citation is copied from the TEV module, the version abbreviation should be GNT.

The American Bible Society officially changed the name of the Good News Bible/Today's English Version to the Good News Translation several years ago. Now most (if not all) of their Good News Bibles say Good News Translation (GNT). Every time I copy a citation from the TEV module, I have to manually change TEV to GNT.

I know GNT can also mean Greek New Testament. But SBL style recommends using the abbreviation of the specific version of the Greek New Testament (UBS, NA, etc.). I have to manually change those when copying citations as well.

 

It's just a little frustrating when every time I copy as citation, I have to manually change the abbreviations.

 

Thanks

That seems like something that could be programmed as part of citation preferences without needing to rename any modules.
