Entity Reference Manager is an advanced administrative module for Drupal that allows site administrators to identify, analyze, and replace entity references across the system. It simplifies complex content maintenance tasks and eliminates the need for custom scripts or risky manual changes.

The module provides an interface to select one or multiple source entities and a target entity. It scans all reference fields that point to the selected sources and generates a detailed summary before executing any updates.

Key Features

  • Merge references from multiple source entities into a single target entity: Nodes, Taxonomy terms and Media entities.
  • Supports fields in revisions
  • Detailed pre-execution analysis showing field, entity type, and reference count
  • Two-step execution (analysis + confirmation)
  • Safe batch processing with the Drupal Batch API
  • Option to keep or delete source entities after merging

Requirements

  • Drupal 10 or 11
  • No external dependencies

Installation

composer require drupal/entity_reference_manager
