This is already implemented, see the biblatex
manual page 41 (Table 5). The season strings appear in the data field yeardivision
and are localised.
Thanks a lot for your reply. Two questions:
\documentclass{scrbook}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[american]{babel}
\usepackage[backend=biber,style=apa,sorting=none,sortlocale=auto,autolang=hyphen]{biblatex}
\begin{filecontents}{\jobname.bib}
@ARTICLE{10.1:15a,
ENTRYSUBTYPE = {nonacademic},
AUTHOR = {E. M. Puckett},
TITLE = {Printing protection for {S}outhwest {V}irginia healthcare professionals},
JOURNALTITLE = {Imagine: University Libraries at Virginia Tech Magazine},
VOLUME = {1},
NUMBER = {2},
PAGES = {4--5},
DATE = {2004-22}
}
\end{filecontents}
\addbibresource{\jobname.bib}
\begin{document}
\textcite{10.1:15a}
\printbibliography
\end{document}
I get
Puckett, E. M. (2004). Printing protection for Southwest Virginia healthcare profession- als. Imagine: University Libraries at Virginia Tech Magazine, 1(2), 4–5.
This is in line with the biblatex manual, p. 41, saying 2004-22 has the output format "2004". However, according to the APA manual it should look like this:
Puckett, E. M. (2004, Summer). Printing protection for Southwest Virginia healthcare profession- als. Imagine: University Libraries at Virginia Tech Magazine, 1(2), 4–5.
This will be in the next release which should be out in the next few days.
Thanks a lot! I will test it when it's out.
There seems to be a slight discrepancy between citation and bibliography here

Puckett (2004, Spring)
Puckett, E. M. (2004, Spring/Summer). Printing protection for Southwest Virginia healthcare professionals. Imagine: University Libraries at Virginia Tech Magazine, 1(2), 4–5.
I'm not sure if the yeardivision should appear in citations, but if it should, it should probably be "Spring/Summer", not just "Spring".
Thanks for catching that. Just like with year-month dates and full dates, the citation should only have the year. In case of ambiguity (like two references with same authors, same year) we have the rule that a letter gets attached to the year. So no need to print more than the year in citations.
Should be fixed in the last commit - that has been a long-standing issue I think, just not caught before.
... at least I haven't found a notation that would do this. There is an explicit example on how to cite the date of works that are published seasonally in APA 7 manual on page 290: "(2020, Spring/Summer)." I also stumbled upon several magazines that are published seasonally, so this has indeed some use.
I don't know how to program this, but here is an idea how the notation could look like. There is an ISO standard that has this partially covered, see here: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/396421/best-way-to-encode-season-spring-summer-fall-winter-in-bibtex According to this standard (2022, Spring) is noted as 2022-21 (2022, Summer) as 2022-22 (2022, Fall) as 2022-23 (2022, Winter) as 2022-24
However, I would suggest the following notation to also cover bi-seasonally published works: (2022, Spring) as 2022-21 Spring/Summer as 22 Summer as 23 Summer/Fall as 24 Fall as 25 Fall/Winter as 26 Winter as 27 Winter/Spring as 28
Maybe even the possibility to use a custom expression for odd dates like (2022, Spring/Summer/Fall) would be useful. This would be difficult to sort though.
I also asked on stackexchange about this issue: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/632264/how-to-cite-a-magazine-published-seasonally-in-apa-style-with-biblatex
(Edit: I changed "Autumn" to "Fall" since it is an American style.)
