Adding book Editor for MHRA 4th ed. citation format

ALCC

Hi all - I know the question has been asked before about adding the editors of a book, but I wonder if anyone has worked out how to do it for MHRA 4th Edition style guide? The previous answers I've found all suggest adding the Editors of a book as extra authors but that generates a citation format that is 'wrong' for MHRA 4th ed. eg if you have a chapter written by John Smith within a book edited by Jane Doe and John Doe, adding the editors as authors will give you:

John Smith, Jane Doe, and John Doe, ‘Chapter Title’, in Book Title (Publisher, Date), pp. 65–77 (p. 21).

But the correct format for MHRA should be:

John Smith, ‘Chapter Title’, in Book Title, ed. by Jane Doe and John Doe (Publisher, Date), pp. 65–77 (p. 21).

Thanks so much!

No, you misunderstood the previous posts:
you add the editors as new authors and then change them into editors -- this is how this should look (the order doesn't matter for different categories of creators):

That gives you
Miguel Cervantes, Don Quixote, ed. and trans. by E. C. Riley, 2nd edn (Allen & Unwin, 1986).

(that's for books with authors and editors, but the idea is the same for book chapters in edited volumes)

Ah brilliant thank you. It's the changing the extra author fields to Editor was the missing bit - sorted now!
