Bibliography issue, @ELECTRONIC editor

24 Feb 2017

      ConTeXters,

The following example demonstrates an issue with the ELECTRONIC bib type:

    \startbuffer[TestBib]
    @ELECTRONIC{Edited,
       editor = {An Editor},
       title = {A title},
       url = {http://www.example.com},
       year = {2017},
    }
    @ELECTRONIC{Authored,
       author = {An Author},
       title = {Another title},
       url = {http://www.example.com},
       year = {2017},
    }
    \stopbuffer
      \loadbtxdefinitionfile[apa]
      \usebtxdefinitions    [apa]
      \usebtxdataset        [TestBib.buffer]
      \definebtxrendering   [Pubs][apa]
    \enabletrackers[publications.authorhash]
    \starttext
    \nocite[*]
    \placelistofpublications[Pubs]
    \stoptext

Although either editor or author should be accepted, only author is 
processed. There is a warning message generated by the publications 
subsystem:

    unable to create short for 'Edited', needs one of [author,editor]

but clearly there is an editor. A reasonable workaround is to use author 
instead of editor, but it would be nice to have a fix.
