Setting up a view and displaying it as a reference method for an entity reference field is pretty straight forward in D8. (a very good tutorial in case anyone needs)

In a few easy steps you can configure the few to your liking with search fields and inline fields. In my case it is a content view and the sample output I get in the views configuration page is:

Title / Field1 / Field2

which is perfectly how it should look like.

The problem is, in content form, I only get the Title listed. The search fields work very well but only the title is displayed in the entity reference field option list. I tried Select list (Chosen enabled or not), Autocomplete, Checkboxes/radio buttons. Also tried to rewrite results on various fields.

What am I missing here?

view

Create unit

  • Can you post screenshot here for better understanding? – Ajay Reddy May 7 '18 at 10:15

  • So you are saying Title and Unit Count not combining in the Select list right. In that case click Unit count and under rewrite results select "Override the output of this field with custom text" and combine both Title and Unit count using replacement patterns. And also don't forgot to "Exclude from display" of Title field. Hope this will help. – Ajay Reddy May 7 '18 at 11:55
  • @AjayReddy already tried. No go. I think this might be duplicate: drupal.stackexchange.com/questions/215023/… – duru May 7 '18 at 13:05
