Makes maintenance easier
1. Fix et-al counting 1. Drop `publisher` from author `substitute`. Just assume that these are entered as group authors.
And move interview information around a bit
This one is reasonably complete
It's the least elegant macro of the style, but it has to handle the indeterminacy of `genre` and `medium`, as well as specific rules for reviews, interviews, songs, theses, and items with/without containers
APA7 removed cases where it wanted these

OK on medium vs. genre -- we can just test this out for a little and if we get a lot of protest, rethink. See one remaining comment where I think we talked past each other because of where it sits -- otherwise this is as good as I think this is reviewable for me and we should go ahead. I would like to start a conversation on agreeing to a test-suite for highly complex styles, otherwise these become increasingly impossible to edit. |

I'm reconsidering medium vs genre. It seems likely that users would store "Album", "EP", etc. in Zotero's Format field for Audio Recording. Regarding test suites, yes, it's been my intention to build one for this style. I was planning on using the 230 test items from the APA manual as a start. Did you have other thoughts on that? |

Yes, that's exactly what I had in mind. Do you have those in the test library already? Otherwise, I wonder if we could somehow pay someone to do this out of CSL funds. Same with Chicago Manual. |

Okay, these should be good to go. The only thing I can't accommodate per the manual's annotated bibliography style is that, if the annotations span multiple paragraphs, paragraphs 2+ should be indented. I don't think that's possible in the current CSL spec and is too rare to worry about trying to automate. |

(@adam3smith, I'll merge this with some small metadata changes today; I want to e.g. use non-abbreviated "edition" in the style titles and likely restore some original contributors to the style) @bwiernik, I understand you did a comprehensive rewrite, but unless you started from scratch I prefer to leave the original contributors. |

@rmzelle You were the one who deleted the contributors. I am fine with whatever arrangement—the contributors all obviously contributed to the current product. |

I forgot we listed the 6th edition as template. We typically delete all authors/contributors that came from the template, so it's good as is. |

@bwiernik, did you drop the abstracts on purpose (and if so, why?). See the question at https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/80714/apa-7th-ed-with-annotations.

It really feels like an error that abstract was ever used, rather than note
/Extra. I think encouraging users to delete proper bibliographic data to store their annotations in Abstract is bad practice. It is also inconsistent with chicago-annotated-bibliography.csl, which uses note
. We could revert it, but I would rather take the opportunity to encourage better bibliographic data management. @adam3smith

Another option would be to add another variant, apa-annotated-bibliography-with-abstract.csl, that prints both abstract and note.

It's tested against the example items in the manual and the APA Style Blog. References get as close as they can with current CSL.
A few questions:
Technical
APA wants this sort order for dates, how can I achieve that (the currentdate-sort
macro doesn't work).No-date (no issued, no status)issuedstatusHow do I best specify a space beforebc

exists, I assume it takes the form "Review of the film", etc.If nogenre
, "Review of" is printed instead.APA wants detailed information regarding original publication information and any corrections or retractions (beyond justoriginal-date
that was called for in APA6). This information is conceptually very similar to the citation practices forreferences
in legal citations, so I used that variable for this purpose.I have separately a list of additional variables, terms, or formatting options needed to fully meet the style needs. I'll post that on Discourse.
