How to get the fields in item type "standard" to print in APA

ingewertwijn
I am having difficulties with referencing ISO norms. I hoped that the new "standard" would help, but most of the entries I fill in, are not printed when I use either the normal APA or the APA with biographical entries.
In de screenshot attached you can see the information I need in the biographical entry.
However, when I create that biographical entry through Zotera (APA 7th with biographical entry), I only get this:

ISO. (2017). NEN-EN-ISO/IEC 27001 (Version 27001:2013 including Cor 1:2014 and Cor 2:2015) [Standard]. International Organization for Standardization (ISO). https://www.iso.org/obp/ui/#iso:std:iso-iec:27002:ed-3:v2:en

So the necessary information of the NEN (who has adopted the standard) does not appear, even though in the screenshot you will see "adopted by the Nederlands Normalisatie Institute (NEN)" both in the field "Organization" and the field "Extra"
It will also not print the name of the committee.
And I wish I could supress the addition [STANDARD] because this causes problems in Obisidan, because of the [] notation.

I suppose my main question is, how can I get fields to print or not to print with the type [STANDARD] in APA?

    How are you expecting that information to be formatted? It’s not clear to me that it should be included at all in APA.

    You can enter the text in Extra like this to include it in parentheses in the same place that APA would put retraction or other status information:

    References: Adopted by NEN

    It is correct APA style to indicate the format of an item in square brackets for unusual item types, so [Standard] is correct. If Obsidian cannot hand text in brackets, then you should raise that issue with them—APA uses brackets in many situations and it’s not possible to avoid them.

    1) I don't care how the information is formatted. I need to add additional publishers and authors to a standard because the version of the standard I am allowed to use, is made available, licenced, by a national agency who is not the original author or publisher of the standard, and are also not known to the world at large.

    2) Having spent a fruitless hour trying to get the Extra field to work - it turns out that most of the CLS variables, except original-data are not usable in APA style, unless I edit de style itself to use the variables. You knew that, I got the answer from another forum question that you answered. So I will look at the APA -style.

    Why don't you just add the information to the publisher or Version field then? That seems easiest

    Because I have two of them. Two publishers who both hold the license, one for the European Market en one for the Netherlands, one encompassing the other. The second one is also sometimes a translator, but not always.

    I have now adapted the APA-7-with-single-biography to display all the CLS parameters that are entered in the Extra field, so my problem is solved.
