Bibliographic citation not allowing formatting

Running lyx-2.3.4.3-x86_64 on Slackware-14.2/x86_64.

I inserted the bibtex bibliography at the end of the document and a citation
from JabRef-5.1.dev. The bibliography style is APA, but when I try to format
the appearance of the citation in the text I am allowed only [#ID], Add to
biblography only, and Key only.

Prior lyx versions would show a selection of citation formats; e.g., (Author
date), (Author, date), Author (date). They ain't available to me now and I
don't know what I did to lose them. Same thing when the biblio style is
authordate3 which worked as expected in a recent document with an earlier
lyx version.

I've attached a mwe.lyx but without my entire 1.8M bibliographic database.

A cluestick is needed.

Regards,

Rich
