Ccontent entity reference field storing entity ID in form, not value from view

Question

I am trying to use an entity reference field in my content type that uses a views filter to limit the fields in the entity and place them in a select list in a new content form. This works fine. However when I publish the form, it only saves the entity id - not the values that the view returned to the select box. I need to do this in the Drupal UI to include it in a features override.

Does anyone know how to accomplish this? The only thing I have come up with is the Entity Reference View Widget module, but the maintainer has placed a note on the module page stating that it should not be used. Any help here would be appreciated.

Answer 1

You can try the entityreference_dynamicselect_widget module. But in any case the 2562 sites that are currently using the Entity Reference View Widget module add much value to this module.

Answer 2

is there any solution to get any specific field other than the entity Id's . The form is always populated with either the title or the entire content (based on the settings provided) but never with the specific table column that i want.

thanks.
