limit names shown.pl contains configuration for limiting the number of names shown in a citation. This assigns a render function to $c->{limit_names_shown} which can then be assigned to the render_value attribute of a virtual field with the same name as the original name field but appended with _limited. This virtual field can also render_limit and render_dynamic attributes to specify how many names to limit to and whether the citation can be expanded to show all names. For more details see Limiting names shown

Example

push @{$c->{fields}->{eprint}},
{
  name => 'creators',
  type => 'compound',
  multiple => 1,
  fields => [
    {
      sub_name => 'name',
      type => 'name',
      hide_honourific => 1,
      hide_lineage => 1,
      family_first => 1,
    },
    {
      sub_name => 'id',
      type => 'text',
      input_cols => 20,
      allow_null => 1,
    }
  ],
  input_boxes => 4,
},

{
  name => 'creators_name_limited',
  type => 'name',
  virtual => 1,
  render_value => 'limit_names_shown',
  render_limit => 20,
  render_dynamic => 1,
};
