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.

  • Field formatter provides the ability to configure a single field from a referenced entity on an entity reference field. The difference is that Display Suite Chained Fields lets you configure each field on its own, whereas field formatter only supports a single field.
