This module adds a field that allows editors to choose how referenced entities are displayed. It provides a flexible way to control the presentation of referenced content on your site.
Overview
This module defines a simple field type for display mode selection for entity reference fields. This allows an editor to select how they would like the references displayed.
"Display mode" field type: This field allows you to specify a display mode for the rendering of entity reference fields. You can configure available options to show only certain display modes. The user then selects one from these and affects the way your entity reference field renders items.
"Selected display mode" field formatter: This formatter allows you to render referenced entities with a selected display mode. The formatter is available only for entity reference fields where the base entity contains at least one display mode field. When there are more display fields available, you can choose one.
