This module allows you to display fields from referenced entities directly within the display settings of your current entity. It essentially lets you "chain" fields together, making it possible to, for example, show an author's profile picture alongside a blog post's content.
Overview
Provides chained fields for entity reference fields and display suite.
Features
tl;dr - If you need to place a field of a referenced entity amongst other fields - use this module.
e.g. With this module you can move the author picture around on the manage display tab for nodes.
If your entity has an entity reference field, you can access any fields from the referenced entity type on your manage display tab.
