I have an issue where the title of a source is suppressed when there is no author to the work. If I add a mock author it works as expected. This is the incorrect format that gets rendered now:

In bibliography: (Date). Source.
In text: (year)

This is how I expect it to be formated:

In bibliography: Title. (Date). Source.
In text: (Title, year)

I am using the latest version of typst and this is the entry in the bibliography.yml file:

ethics:
  type: Article
  title: "Good Research Practice"
  date: 2017
  publisher: Swedish Research Council
  url: https://www.vr.se/english/analysis/reports/our-reports/2017-08-31-good-research-practice.html

Here are the official APA guidelines for referencing sources with missing information: https://apastyle.apa.org/style-grammar-guidelines/references/missing-information

I found a good enough workaround for any one that has similar issues. You can just put the title in the author field like this (But the title has to be in Title Case):

ethics:
  type: Article
  author: "Good Research Practice"
  date: 2017
  publisher: Swedish Research Council
  url: https://www.vr.se/english/analysis/reports/our-reports/2017-08-31-good-research-practice.html
