Single executive producer incorrectly identified as "Executive Producers"

[ChristophSantel]

When citing a @Video-entry with only one executive producer, the plural term "Executive Producers" is incorrectly printed in the references section. Please see the minimum working example attached.

Thank you, Christoph

P.S.: Feel free to reach out to christoph@santel.eu if additional clarification on the issue is needed.

Will be fixed in next version. If you need this fix now, replace the mainvideo macro in apa.bbx with:

\newbibmacro*{mainvideo}{%
  \iffieldundef{maintitle}
    {}
    {\usebibmacro{in}%
     \printnames[apanames][-\value{listtotal}]{execproducer}%
     \setunit{\addspace}%
     \ifthenelse{\the\c@execproducer=1}%
       {\bibcplstring[\mkbibparens]{execproducer}}
       {\bibcplstring[\mkbibparens]{execproducers}}%
     \setunit{\addcomma\addspace}%
     \printfield{maintitle}}}

Hello, the bug fix works and provides the desired results. Thank you!

I think this needs another fix as we have two ways to input this. From the APA examples 10.12:87a and b work fine, 10.12:86 not yet.

With {=execproducers} I get "(Executive Producers)", with {=execproducer} I get "()".

[plk]

The annotation without a name index like =execproducers applies to the whole field and would naturally be plural but you can get what you want with 1=execproducer - note the singular as individual list item roles are singular in the code. I can put a comment in about this in the examples.

[PsychicBirdy]

I see. Yes, the comment on that is really helpful, I believe. Thanks a lot!
