Additionally, as Lars mentioned, isn't the first author concept already captured by taking the first author in the authors list? Bibfield preserve field ordering so it's not really necessary to enforce a difference between first and the other until the moment when the data are imported/exported to MARC... Isn't it? You are right in a way, whenever we create the JSON, we don’t care about the distinction about first author and additional authors because this is done by the ordered list authors. This distinction is an artefact that we made to allow the one to one lossless mapping, MARC to JSON to MARC. Cheers, -- Esteban J. G. Gabancho
