This module adds a field to Views that generates a link to edit an entity. It allows you to choose a specific form mode for the edit link, making it possible to edit entities with custom forms.

In response to this issue and out of some personal need, I got Claude (AI) to develop this module. I don't believe it to be perfect, but I can say at this stage it works for my use case, and that is all the guarantee I can offer.

The module enables the ability to add a link to a view that is functionally equivalent to the "link to edit entity" provided by Views out of the box, with the addition of accepting a choice of form modes as provided by Form Mode Manager.

Publishing here initially in the hope of getting some constructive criticism of the parts of code that I was unable to verify/validate myself.

To use, an alternate form mode must be present for at least one entity type. Create a view based on, or with a relationship to, that entity type. Add a views edit link field which presents as "Link to edit with form mode", selecting the form mode in the options. An edit link with the relevant form mode path should be created on the view.
