CSL styles do not take CrossRef fields into account

[Siedlerchr]

Bug report from the Forum

I have the following entries in my bibliography:

@InCollection{smit2021,
author = {Smith, Bob},
title = {An article},
pages = {1-10},
crossref = {jone2021},
}

 @Book{jone2021,
editor = {Jones, John},
 publisher = {Great Publisher},
 title = {A book},
 year = {2021},
address = {Somewhere},
 }

When using the default entry preview (“Customized preview style”), the preview includes information from the cross-referenced entry:

InCollection (smit2021)

Smith, Bob
An article
2021

Jones, John (Ed.)
Great Publisher: Somewhere
p. 1-10

But if I try other preview styles, there is no information from the cross-referenced entry. For example, this is what I get from the APA 7th edition style (and I’ve seen the same thing in other styles):

Smith, B. An article (pp. 1–10).

Is it only possible to show the information from the cross-referenced entry in the customized preview style?

Thanks

FIX:
Should be getResolvedFieldOrAlias

jabref/src/main/java/org/jabref/logic/citationstyle/CSLAdapter.java

Lines 98 to 99 in 94f4c1e

	for (Field key : bibEntry.getFieldMap().keySet()) {
	bibEntry.getField(key)

Turns out it's not so easy to solve beause we need a library/bibdatasecontext

Same for xdata-inherited fields with biblatex.

Update (Noe for implementaiton): It should be possible to pass down the bibdatabasecontext to the CitationStyleGenerator methods. We already get a bibdatabasecontext in the generatePreview.
MIght be relevant for #8372
