I will attempt to supply a patch for this feature request for consideration shortly...

Problem/Motivation

In instances where a default view has been specified and editors cannot change the entity reference for this field, it could be useful in some instances to not only display the referenced view on node view but also on node edit. This could be especially useful on decoupled drupal sites where editors need a way to see "related content" displayed in a view with viewfield on the backend.

Proposed resolution

Add a new checkbox to display the view on node edit but this new checkbox should only be visible if the "Always use default value" checkbox has been checked. If this new checkbox is checked display the view on node edit instead of hiding the field altogether. Use the display options specified for the default node view.

User interface changes

A new conditional checkbox will be added to the field configuration page.

    I did not look at the patch just as yet. But it sounds as this would be only a little more effort:

    Since it is an administrative/development feature it would be great to also have a direct link to the view in order to quickly edit it.

    Up to now there are a lot of clicks necessary in order to edit the view of a viewfield.

    Thanks for the GREAT viewfield module!
