No-repeat suppressing value, even if it's only actually supposed to be rendered once

[Tomagori]

See forum post.

When citing two items that have the same authority, but that are cited differently, the authority is still omitted in the second citation even if the first citation does not include the authority.

In my case, I'm citing two cases by the same authority, one of which is included in a collection, the other one is not. I cite the first one with [collection-number], [locator], the other with [authority] [number], [locator]. But because both cases were decided by the same authority, the [authority] is never rendered, even though, visually, it would not constitute a repeat.

Can you write this as a test? e.g., look here for an example: https://github.com/Juris-M/citeproc-js/blob/master/fixtures/local/parallel_BrokenParallel.txt

You should include a minimal style that should produce the output you want, the item data for the two items, and the correctly rendered result.

[Tomagori]

Thanks for the swift reply, I updated my post, hope this is correct. RESULT is now the intended result (I assumed this is what you mean by correctly rendered), Juris-M actually renders it without the "BGer", which is the issue.

[Georg Mayr-Duffner]

Thank you @Tomagori this issue posting was on my to-do-list for this week.

This improvement is necessary for at least Swiss and German legal citation.
