Printing of journal issue numbers about biblatex-apa HOT 3 CLOSED

A better way to do this is by using the biber sourcemap feature. Simply always include number in your journal entries and then add this to your preamble:

\DeclareSourcemap{
  \maps[datatype=bibtex]{
    \map{
       \step[fieldsource=journaltitle,
             match=\regexp{(?:journal\stitle\sone|journal\stitle\stwo)}]
       \step[fieldset=number, null]
    }
  }
}

Where "journal title one" and "journal title two" are journals known to paginate across complete volumes. It will remove the number field where it is not necessary before biblatex sees the data. You don't need to care about the field journal as the default biblatex driver sourcemaps automatically convert this to journaltitle anyway.

I will add a note about how to do this in the next release documentation.

Hello,

thanks for your help and your suggestion! As I copied your example, it removed the number from all journals (regardless of the regex). But this solved my issue:

\DeclareSourcemap{
  \maps[datatype=bibtex]{
    \map{
       \step[fieldsource=journaltitle,
             notmatch=\regexp{(?:The\sAcademy\sof\sManagement\sExecutive|My\sOther\sJournal)},
             final]
       \step[fieldset=number, null]
    }
  }
}

If I got the biblatex manual right, your \step was missing a final argument to jump out of the map directive. Or I missed something else ;-)

You are probably right, thanks for checking.
