I am using Historische Zeitschrift Style and the probem I have is that it capitalises some of the things it shouldn't. Let me try to explain.
Here is my MWE:

When I compile that this is what I get:

The letter "W" (marked with the red arrow) should here be small but because Shorttitle of that entry has a dot at the end (h.e.) it capitalises the first letter in the brackets.
If you compare it with the previous entry (Ar. 1) you will notice that that one doesn't have capital "W".
So how do I make it stop capitalising "W"? Thanks in advance for your help!
\isdotafter abbreviations such as "h.e." that end with a dot. See also the related In biblatex, treat periods in journal as abbreviation dots, which can be applied to all kinds of fields, not justjournal, but alsoshorttitle. – moewe Jun 12 '14 at 16:36\DeclareFieldFormat*{title}{#1\isdot}. – moewe Jun 13 '14 at 17:39
