How can I use more than one related-fields (translation and multivolume) with biblatex?

Question

Consider the following MWE

\documentclass[ngerman]{scrartcl}
\usepackage{filecontents,babel}
\begin{filecontents*}{\jobname.bib}
@MvBook{Ohnefalsch-Richter1893-0,
  author      = {Ohnefalsch-Richter, Max},
  title       = {Kypros, die Bibel und Homer},
  year        = {1893},
  volumes     = {2},
  publisher   = {A. Asher und Co.},
  location    = Berlin,
  keywords    = {abbreviation, MOR},
  related     = {Ohnefalsch-Richter1893-1,Ohnefalsch-Richter1893-2},
  relatedtype = {multivolume},
  shortauthor = {MOR},
}


@Book{Ohnefalsch-Richter1893-1,
  author      = {Ohnefalsch-Richter, Max},
  title       = {Text},
  maintitle   = {Kypros, die Bibel und Homer},
  volume      = {1},
  publisher   = {A. Asher und Co.},
  location    = Berlin,
  crossref    = {Ohnefalsch-Richter1893-0},
  keywords    = {abbreviation, MOR},
  options     = {skipbib},
  shortauthor = {MOR},
  shorthand   = {\printnames{shortauthor}\nameyeardelim\entrydata{\thefield{crossref}}{\printlabeldateextra}|\printfield{volume}},
}

  keywords    = {abbreviation, MOR},
  options     = {skipbib},
  shortauthor = {MOR},
  shorthand   = {\printnames{shortauthor}\nameyeardelim\entrydata{\thefield{crossref}}{\printlabeldateextra}|\printfield{volume}},
}

@MvBook{Ohnefalsch-Richter1893,
  author       = {Ohnefalsch-Richter, Max},

  year         = {1893},

  volumes      = {2},
  publisher    = {Asher},
  language     = {english},
  origlanguage = {german},
  location     = London,
  keywords     = {abbreviation, MOR},
  shortauthor = {MOR},
  related      = {Ohnefalsch-Richter1893-0},
  relatedtype  = {translationof},
  related     = {Ohnefalsch-Richter1893d,Ohnefalsch-Richter1893a},
  relatedtype = {multivolume},
}


@Book{Ohnefalsch-Richter1893d,
  author       = {Ohnefalsch-Richter, Max},
  maintitle        = {Kypros, the Bible and Homer},
  mainsubtitle     = {Oriental Civilisation, Art and Religion in Ancient Times},
  maintitleaddon   = {Elucidated by the Author’s own Researches and Excavations During Twelve Years Work in Cyprus},

  options     = {skipbib},
  keywords     = {abbreviation, MOR},
  crossref    = {Ohnefalsch-Richter1893},
  shortauthor = {MOR},
    shorthand   = {\printnames{shortauthor}\nameyeardelim\entrydata{\thefield{crossref}}{\printlabeldateextra}|\printfield{volume}},
}


@Book{Ohnefalsch-Richter1893a,
  author       = {Ohnefalsch-Richter, Max},
  maintitle        = {Kypros, the Bible and Homer},
  mainsubtitle     = {Oriental Civilisation, Art and Religion in Ancient Times},
  maintitleaddon   = {Elucidated by the Author’s own Researches and Excavations During Twelve Years Work in Cyprus},
  title = {Plates},
  volume       = {2},
  publisher    = {Asher},
  language     = {english},
  origlanguage = {german},
  crossref    = {Ohnefalsch-Richter1893},
  location     = London,
  options     = {skipbib},
  keywords     = {abbreviation, MOR},
  shortauthor = {MOR},
    shorthand   = {\printnames{shortauthor}\nameyeardelim\entrydata{\thefield{crossref}}{\printlabeldateextra}|\printfield{volume}},
}

\end{filecontents*}
\usepackage[backend=biber,style=archaeologie]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{\jobname.bib}
 \AtEveryBibitem{\clearfield{doi}}
\DeclareDataInheritance{mvbook}{book}{
  \noinherit{year}
}

\begin{document}
  \nocite{*}
  \printbibliography
\end{document}

However I get the desired result:

The information in Ohnefalsch-Richter1893 is missing since the first entries for related and relatedtype are overwritten.

I would like to have the information that Ohnefalsch-Richter1893 is a translation and a multivolume book as well.

You could use a dummy entry and relate to that with a relatedstring instead of relatedtype, then use your multivolume relatedtype in your dummy entry to chain things together. It's less than ideal, but would work. — David Purton, Mar 14, 2018 at 0:16

One (less than ideal) work around is to add another dummy entry to your bib file for the translation, which then relates to your volumes.

Something like this:

\documentclass[ngerman]{scrartcl}
\usepackage{filecontents,babel}
\begin{filecontents*}{\jobname.bib}

  volumes     = {2},
  publisher   = {A. Asher und Co.},
  location    = {Berlin},
  keywords    = {abbreviation, MOR},
  related     = {Ohnefalsch-Richter1893-1,Ohnefalsch-Richter1893-2},
  relatedtype = {multivolume},
  shortauthor = {MOR},
}

@Book{Ohnefalsch-Richter1893-1,

  shortauthor = {MOR},
  shorthand   = {\printnames{shortauthor}\nameyeardelim\entrydata{\thefield{crossref}}{\printlabeldateextra}|\printfield{volume}},

Thanks, however it is a workaround, it seems to work. All I need so far. — lukascbossert, Mar 14, 2018 at 19:36
