I am having a problem using geofield/geocoder with External Entities.
The problem is that external entities are never created or saved, they already exist on some external system (a separate database in my case), so they're just loaded.
The External Entities module lets you assign fetched values to fields, which works fine for fields that don't need extra processing but is a problem here.
I have the latitude and longitude and I need to populate the external entity's geofield but just assigning to the lat/long fields doesn't invoke the geocoding process.
The only thing that's worked is:
geocoder_field_entity_presave() which is horribleAny ideas would be appreciated?

It's likely this issue predates Contrib.social: some issue and comment data are missing.
Why is that horrible (calling the geocoder_field_entity_presave() hook/function ... )?
It looks super fine to me.
In the end you would just force triggering what you couldn't ... that is indeed that preserve hook.
