Problem/Motivation

If it helps, I'm using Drupal Core 8.9.13 with the Entity module version 8.x-1.2 .

Clicking the "Edit content" button does nothing regardless of what is selected in the entity reference view

Steps to reproduce

  1. Create two content types each with a simple text field in addition to the body fields
  2. Create a couple of instances of the first type
  3. Create a View of the first type with an "Entity Reference" display and just show the simple text field
  4. Edit the second entity type
  5. Create an entity reference field pointing to the first type
    • Reference method: Views: Filter by an entity reference view
    • In "View used to select the entities", select the view you created in step 3
    • Choose the "on" option for both the Add and Edit entityconnect buttons
    • Choose text only on both buttons
  6. Save the second content type with the new field
  7. Go to Add content and create an instance of the second type
  8. Select one of the instances of the first type that appear in the Entity Reference view
  9. Click Edit content and notice that nothing happens

Proposed resolution

I modified the "assets/js/entityconnect.js" file so that the
$(".entityconnect-edit input").once("entityconnect").click() function returns true
if at least one item is selected in the Entity Reference view

In that function I inserted the following code:

        var selected_value = $(".field--type-entity-reference select option:selected");
        return ((selected_value.length) ? true : false);

Remaining tasks

I also modified other parts of the module to fit my needs, but I hope the code above helps other people.

    Tested all steps but was not able to reproduce. Probably, it was fixed by another issue. Please, use a new release of the module.

    thanks
