Just offering this solution in case it is of use to someone.

You are able to auto create content using the dropdown from this module node form templates by populating a taxonomy term.

Through the use of the EVA module, the view shows on template only when taxonomy term exists.

Steps:

  1. Create a vocabulary, example ‘project’ with example terms finance, marketing, distribution
  2. Assign your content types to automatically have a term, example ‘marketing’ for content type ‘press releases’
  3. In your content type you using for node form templates add ‘field_project’ entity reference to your vocabulary as autocomplete
  4. In your node form template give ‘field_project’ the term id

In EVA create referenced content, only show if term exists.

templates:
  media:
    label: Marketing
    fields:
      title: Marketing Proposal
      field_project: 358
  finance:
    label: Finance
    fields:
      title: Finance Proposition
      field_project: 356 

Voila, without populating many fields in your content type, you only use taxonomy term to create lots of automated content.

Now just to figure out some rules 😉
