Reference of books with non-primary authors using APA7 on Zotero.

There's a guideline on the APA manual to make references when the author is credited with non-primary authors. The issue is that I can't find a way to make Zotero follow this rule.

What APA7 wants:
"Richards, J. C. (with Hull, J. & Proctor, S). (2018). Title of the book. Publisher."

What Zotero does:

"Richards, J. C., Hull, J. & Proctor, S. (2018). Title of the book. Publisher"

I can't find a way to make Zotero follow the rule other than manually editing the reference after it's generated.
  • Can't be done. I'm doubtful that we'll ever implement that level of precision in the metadata schema, to be honest.
  • Thanks for the quick reply. I think it isn't a big issue after all. But it would be nice to have more options when introducing different types of authors (author, translator, editor, etc).
  • We will have more available author types in the future, yes
  • Supporting “contributor” roles like this is part of my planned updated for APA style for CSL 1.0.2
