Overloading the style for “thesis” : final punctuation issues (in citedas, and between type and title)

Question

In my first question I covered the definition of the Bibliography driver, and now I'm almost done with the definition, thanks to the help of this forum.

GutNicolas, Die unbezifferte Forderungsklage nach der Schweizerischen Zivil-prozessordnung, These, Bâle , 2014 (cité :Gut , These ).

I'd need to get this kind of bibliography :

Gut Nicolas, Die unbezifferte Forderungsklage nach der Schweizerischen Zivil-prozessordnung, thèse, Bâle 2014 (cité :Gut-These ).

This means :

1. Change the delimiter in the cited as part
2. Change the delimiter in case of multiple location to " / "
3. Allows multiple location (builtin ?)
4. Remove the punctuation (,) in between the type, location and year part.
5. Change the use of "printfield{label}" to "printfield{type}"

Question :

Which kind of parameter should I investigate ?

Edit 1 - MWE instead of Extracts

Following the remark from @moewe, I edit this post to include a MWE.

Answer 1

1. I think we had this before \DeclareDelimFormat{nametitledelim}{\textendash} is what you need.

2. As for the names, where you use multinamedelim and finalnamedelim you now need

   \DeclareDelimFormat{multilistdelim}{\addnbspace\slash\addspace}
   \DeclareDelimAlias{finallistdelim}{multilistdelim}
   

3. Is already possible. location is a list field and you can give multiple locations separated by and: location = {Berne and Bâle},

4. This is done in the location+date macro.

5. Done.

\section{Expectation}
This test contains a citation to a message as well as several authors documents. Here are the expectation for citation :
\begin{itemize}
    \item book single author : "\textsc{Druey}"
    \item book multi-authors  : "\textsc{Druey/Comte}"
    \item message : "Message CPC"
\end{itemize}

When displayed in the bibliography, this item should become :

Message du Conseil fédéral du 28 juin 2006 relatif au code de procédure civilesuisse (CPC), FF 2006 p. 6841 ss (cité : \textsc{Message CPC})

\section{Test}

This is a series of citation to regular type, and a message at the very end. book single author : \cite{Druey}, \cite{DrueyComte}

If there are both type of data, then the table of content must be split in 2 parts, the first for all the non-message elements, the second for . The 2 parts must have subtitle (subsection) which should not appear in the table of content.

Test of citation message : \cite{MessageCPC}
