I am experiencing an odd behavior switching text styles in a defined startstop 
group ("blockquote").   I get different behavior depending on whether the 
switchtobodyfont in the startstop definition includes the dummy {\it } and {\bf 
} text.   If they are not there, the italic and boldface switches in the second 
blockquote revert to the gyreschola body font of the main text; but this only 
happens if there is an earlier blockquote with no style changes.  This is with:

$  context --version
mtx-context     | ConTeXt Process Management 1.03
mtx-context     |
mtx-context     | main context file: 
/usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/tex/context/base/mkiv/context.mkiv
mtx-context     | current version: 2020.03.10 14:44
mtx-context     | main context file: 
/usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/tex/context/base/mkiv/context.mkxl
mtx-context     | current version: 2020.03.10 14:44

Do I need a newer version of ConTeXt, or am I doing something wrong?
Fonts in ConTeXt are always perilous, alas.  For me, anyway.

\startblockquote
This is what it said, in {\it Italic} and {\bf bold} letters:
