How to get numeric citations?

[Miranda Buckle]

You probably have had enough questions about LyX citations!

But I have another one; if you could point me in the right direction it would be so helpful.

I am using a thesis template downloaded from Github; I would like numeric citations, but the template gives labels.

There is a document called “thesis” which has a Biblatex bibliography in it (I have a bibliography exported from Mendeley as a .bib file; I replaced the original Biblatex database.)

For the main “thesis” document
In Document—>Settings—>Bibliography
Style format: Biblatex (natbib mode)
Variant: author-number
Biblatex citation style: numeric
Biblatex bibliography style: numeric 

When I go to Chapter 1 document for example
In Document—>Settings—>Bibliography
Style format: Biblatex (natbib mode)
Variant: author-number
Biblatex citation style: numeric
Biblatex bibliography style: numeric 

However when I add a citation it is still a label…..

If I make a completely new document and add a Bibliography environment, I can get numeric citations, just not if I use documents which reference my bibliography in the “thesis” template. The document preamble is:


%% LyX 2.3.4 created this file. For more info, see http://www.lyx.org/.
%% Do not edit unless you really know what you are doing.
\documentclass[12pt,english,a4paper,titlepage]{ociamthesis-lyx}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[latin9]{inputenc}
\PassOptionsToPackage{natbib=true}{biblatex}
\usepackage{setspace}
\onehalfspacing
\usepackage{babel}
\usepackage[style=numeric]{biblatex}


I started using Lyx today so apologies if this is a very basic query!
