Re: [BUG] org-cite-insert fails to open json format bibliographies that contain entries for books with editors but no authors [9.6.6 (release_9.6.6 @ /snap/emacs/current/usr/share/emacs/29.1/lisp/org/)]

Thanks!  Yes that seems to fix my problem.

I failed to apply the patch (perhaps because the file is in a different 
place, /lisp/org/ instead of /lisp/ ) however making that change 
manually and rebuilding fixed the problem.

For future reference is there a resource that explains how to apply 
patches for testing?  I have emacs installed via the snap package on 
Ubuntu, and in the end (with a lot of help from my spouse) we built it 
directly from source without installing it to test this, but is there a 
more direct way to do this?

Best wishes,
Margaret.
