Hi there,

I get an error message after creating a copy of the title field an trying to manage the display:

Error: Call to a member function getType() on null in Drupal\Core\Field\FormatterPluginManager->getInstance() (line 99 of core/lib/Drupal/Core/Field/FormatterPluginManager.php).

Thanks in advance!

I ran into the same problem today.
In my case the reason was that the field referenced by the formatter was removed.

Same here; I had deleted a field that was referenced by Display Field Copy. This resulted in entity forms running into a fatal error.
Removing the ds.field.[field_name].yml and running drush cim fixed it.

Maybe field copies should have a form of dependency on the original field, so that they get removed together with it?
