When #cite(form: "prose") a book with editors but no authors, it display only year

[bact]

Description

If a bib info of a book contains only editor names but not author names (author names are available for book chapters in other bib entries), when form: "prose", Typst will not use editor names in place of author names and display only year.

This behaviour is different when form: "normal", where Typst will display both editor names and year.

For example, with this bib info:

@collection{bovens_real_2010,
	title = {The real world of {EU} accountability: what deficit?},
	editor = {Bovens, M. A. P. and Curtin, Deirdre and Hart, Paul 't},
	date = {2010},
}

• #cite(<bovens_real_2010>, form: "prose") will display "(2010)".
• #cite(<bovens_real_2010>, form: "normal") will display "(Bovens et al., 2010)".
• #cite(<bovens_real_2010>, form: "author") will display "".
  • For this author-only one, one can argue that this should be an expected behaviour, but then again we don't have the form: "editor" option.

Expected behaviour

• #cite(<bovens_real_2010>, form: "prose") displays "Bovens et al. (2010)".

I already opened #243 which refers to the exact same issue. Happy to know I'm not the only one affected.
