I want to use biblatex-apa with biber-backend to create a bibliography. I use the shortauthor-tag, so that the full names of the organizations only appear once, and only abbreviations afterwards. This seems not to work, when I fist cite both publications at the same time in a multiple citation, as shown in the MWE below.
I am using biber v2.11 and biblatex v3.11 (installed via MiKTeX 2.9.6730 on Win10).
\documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{scrartcl}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{lmodern}
\usepackage[ngerman]{babel}
\usepackage[backend=biber,style=apa,sortlocale=de_DE]{biblatex}
\DeclareLanguageMapping{ngerman}{ngerman-apa}
\setlength\bibitemsep{1.5\itemsep}
\addbibresource{literatur.bib}
\begin{document}
\parencite{BMG2018, BLS2011} \\
\parencite{BLS2011} \\
\parencite{BMG2018} \\
\parencite{BLS2011}
\printbibliography
\end{document}
Here is my .bib-File:
@online{BMG2018,
author = {{Bundesministerium für Gesundheit}},
shortauthor = {BMG},
title = {Gesund bleiben: Prävention und Gesundheitsförderung.},
date = {2018},
}
@booklet{BLS2011,
author = {{Bayerischer Landes-Sportverband e. V.}},
shortauthor = {BLS},
title = {Gesundheitssport im Verein},
date = {2011},
}
The following is what I get from this:
As you can see, the second time I cite the "Bayrischer Landes-Sportbund" (BLS), the citation looks completely different with the abbreviation not even in square brackets.
This is what I would expect to see:
It works, when I do the citations seperately the first time, e.g.
\parencite{BMG2018} \\
\parencite{BLS2011} \\
\parencite{BLS2011} \\
\parencite{BMG2018} \\
\parencite{BLS2011}
, but I need the initial double-citation.
Question: Is this behaviour intended? If so, what am I doing wrong? If not, what is a possible workaround?
