Include all contributors in expanded detail display
Include additional contributors in the expanded details display for the individual manifestations (MARC 700), this is especially important when multiple versions are rolled up together.
Currently, all added contributors for all versions are displayed at the bottom of the page of the roll-up and it is hard to find and identify specific translations or audio-book narrators. This also results in a work with multiple authors only having the first one recognized

The searched details particularly those searched for are necessary to connect the dots to results.

This would be helpful. It is also confusing to patrons when the image and description on the listing is the cover of a specific edition, translation - but there are few copies of that specific item in the system. It appears that there are copies of that item, and they think they are ordering the correct item, but get something different.

The details section often does not include enough information to help users select the edition they want, especially when looking for classic titles with dozens of iterations.
The differences that matter to them are often the additional contributors like the narrator, translator, or illustrator. They don't necessarily know which edition they need from the publishing info displayed.This is particularly confusing when the user has performed a search using the contributor's name and retrieved a result, but the rollups make it unclear which editions are relevant to their search.

Yes, currently users have to guess which editor, translator, narrator, foreword author, or illustrator belongs to which book within a rollup.
