Will it be possible to implement BibLaTeX's origdate field?

I’ve opened an issue on Github (Consider implementing biblatex's origdate · Issue #276 · typst/hayagriva · GitHub) and I’m posting here as well due to low traffic on Hayagriva’s Github. Currently, the BibLaTeX to Hayagriva converter doesn’t output the BibLaTeX’s origdate field, which is used in citation styles like APA 7th edition.

I propose implementing support where a BibLaTeX entry like: origdate = {1925} would be converted to Hayagriva’s format as:

parent:
    parent:
        type: original
        date: 1925

@ironuupiwada did you overcome this issue with origdate? I’ve seen the CSL spec indicates a deprecation CSL JSON/YAML. I’m also working with an assortment of dates fields and formats (issued, filed, accessed, submitted), and have seen a couple of related PR’s get cancelled early on - seems Hayagiva currently offers a single date field in maximum format of YYYY-MM-DD - so potentially unable to parse ranges YYYY-MM-DD/YYYY-MM-DD as per CSL and citeproc-js/CSL-M. Defo a good opportunity to offer developers more access to datetime to include features of a styles cites/refs - just wish my dev skills were good enough to take it on, if still an option to implement EDTF.

Your link https://bdarcus.github.io/schema/csl-data.html#items_original-date might not be a reliable source of information?

The repo behind the website, bdarcus/schema, is a fork of the official citation-style-language/schema. The repo owner bdarcus is a member of the CSL org, but his repo is three years behind.

In the latest stable CSL, date-original is not marked as deprecated.
