Overview

Use case

Say you need to create a field that lists all the displays you have across all university campuses. So you create a 'Display' content type with a Field called facilities. A 'Facility' content type with field called campus. Lastly, a 'Campus' taxonomy vocabulary. With this module your displays field can be group by a number of nested fields. You can group by Facility or you can group by Campus which is an entity reference in your facility content type.

Installation/Configuration

  • Add an entity reference field to node
  • Head to manage form display, and change the widget to 'Group by field reference widget'
  • If your field is multi-value, it will use checkboxes, otherwise it will use radios.

Troubleshooting

Empty "Group by" Selector.

This can happen for one of two reasons. First, only fields with a cardinality of 1 are allowed to be included in the list. Second, Fields using the "Views: Filter by an entity reference view" reference type must first select the bundles needed for field.
