Custom type disappears in subsequent citations

Question

Biblatex doesn't show the same source on successive citations. I tried it with dashed=false, but it doesn't work. How can I make that the work is always fully cited, even on subsequent citations?

\RequirePackage{filecontents}
\begin{filecontents*}{\jobname.bib}
@interview{homer,
  interviewee = {Homer Simpson},
  interviewer = {Bart Simpson},
  date        = {2018-07-25},
  address     = {Springfield},
}
\end{filecontents*}
\begin{filecontents}{interview.dbx}
\DeclareDatamodelEntrytypes{interview}
\DeclareDatamodelFields[type=list,datatype=name]{
  interviewer,
  interviewee,
}

\DeclareDatamodelEntryfields[interview]{
  addendum,
  doi,
  eprint,
  eprintclass,
  eprinttype,
  interviewer,
  interviewee,
  location,
  note,
  pubstate,
}
\end{filecontents}
\documentclass[ngerman]{article}
\usepackage{babel}
\usepackage{csquotes}
\usepackage[datamodel=interview,backend=biber, dashed=false, style=authortitle, citestyle=verbose,]{biblatex}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\addbibresource{\jobname.bib}

\NewBibliographyString{interview}
\DefineBibliographyStrings{german}{%
  interview   = {Interview},
}

\DeclareNameAlias{interviewee}{author}

\DeclareBibliographyDriver{interview}{%
  \usebibmacro{bibindex}%
  \usebibmacro{begentry}%
  \printnames{interviewee}%
  \newunit\newblock
  \bibstring{interview}%
  \setunit{\addspace}%
  \printnames{interviewer}%
  \newunit\newblock
  \printfield{note}%
  \newunit\newblock
  \usebibmacro{location+date}%
  \newunit\newblock
  \usebibmacro{doi+eprint+url}%
  \newunit\newblock
  \usebibmacro{addendum+pubstate}%
  \setunit{\bibpagerefpunct}\newblock
  \usebibmacro{pageref}%
  \newunit\newblock
  \iftoggle{bbx:related}
    {\usebibmacro{related:init}%
     \usebibmacro{related}}
    {}%
  \usebibmacro{finentry}}

\begin{document}
\footcite{homer}

\printbibliography
\end{document}

Or is this about the citations? dashed=false won't help there at all. What output would you expect? — moewe, Dec 13 '18 at 19:12
Your right, twice a citestyle doens't make sense at all. I corrected it in the code. The first footnote is the full citation but the second is only a small green box. I would like to have the full citation twice. — derd, Dec 13 '18 at 19:28
style=authortitle, citestyle=verbose, should be the same as style=verbose,. Usually the subsequent citation is a shorter form with only author and title. Do you still want the full citation on subsequent cites in this case? — moewe, Dec 13 '18 at 19:29
Oh, I didn't knew that those two citestyles are the same as only verbose. Yes, I want the full citation on subsequent cites. — derd, Dec 13 '18 at 21:08
OK, that requires changes to the citation macros. It is a bit late for me now, but I will type up an answer tomorrow (unless there is a good answer already, of course). — moewe, Dec 13 '18 at 21:10
I have tried to clarify the question. If you disagree with anything I have changed, please edit the question again or roll back my edit. — moewe, Dec 14 '18 at 09:54

The styles of the verbose family show a full citation (i.e. the full reference/bibliography entry) on a first cite and a shorter author-title citation on subsequent citations.

For the shorter author-title citation the verbose styles use the usual labelname and labeltitle fields. Those fields are artificial fields that take their contents from other fields in a certain order of precedence. labelname the first of (short)author, (short)editor and translator; labeltitle the first of shorttitle, title, maintitle. Our @interview has none of these fields and so the citation remains completely empty. One solution to get a citation would be to include fields that @interview has in the definitions of labelname and labeltitle so that these fields don't come out as empty.

In the comments you mentioned that @interviews should just be cited as full on subsequent citations as well, hence we take a slightly different route. The following MWE sets up a general structure to treat subsequent (short in biblatex-speak) citations of particular entry types differently from the rest.

\RequirePackage{filecontents}
\begin{filecontents*}{\jobname.bib}
@interview{homer,
  interviewee = {Homer Simpson},
  interviewer = {Bart Simpson},
  date        = {2018-07-25},
  address     = {Springfield},
}
\end{filecontents*}
\begin{filecontents}{interview.dbx}
\DeclareDatamodelEntrytypes{interview}
\DeclareDatamodelFields[type=list,datatype=name]{
  interviewer,
  interviewee,
}

\DeclareDatamodelEntryfields[interview]{
  addendum,
  doi,
  eprint,
  eprintclass,
  eprinttype,
  interviewer,
  interviewee,
  location,
  note,
  pubstate,
}
\end{filecontents}

\newbibmacro*{cite:short:interview}{%
  \usebibmacro{cite:full:citepages}%
  \printtext[bibhyperlink]{%
    \usedriver
      {\DeclareNameAlias{sortname}{default}}

% cite:short is really 'cite:subsequent'
