Modifying et al usage in Biblio

I am trying to change "et al" usage in Mendeley's CSL editor for my bibliography only but having trouble with the settings. I want my bibliography to display 3 authors et al if there is more than 5 authors but up to all 5 authors if less than 5. Thank you for any advice. I am relatively new to using CSL editor.

I have set the "et al min" to 5 and "et al use first" to 3. Not sure if this is correct.

et-al-min to 6 (more than 5) and et-al-use-first to 3 is correct for what you want, yes. Note that you can enter that information in various places: The best way to do so is under "Bibliogaphy" Bibliography Section of the Visual Editor

If that doesn't work, make sure that you don't have different settings somewhere set for the authors, which would override this.
