Inline Entity Form - Simple not available for storage entities referenced via storage entities

Created on 18 August 2023, about 1 year ago

Problem/Motivation

When using storage as a content entry component similar to paragraphs it is nice to decide whether the sub items open by default.
Inline entity form provides two widgets, simple and complex.

When the parent entity is a node we can set inline entity form Simple which leaves the storage entity always open.
When the parent entity is a storage entity complex is the only option.

    The simple widget plugin's implementation has an Drupal\inline_entity_form\Plugin\Field\FieldWidget\InlineEntityFormSimple::isApplicable method implemented as follows:

    /**
       * {@inheritdoc}
       */
      public static function isApplicable(FieldDefinitionInterface $field_definition) {
        $handler_settings = $field_definition->getSettings()['handler_settings'];
        $target_entity_type_id = $field_definition->getFieldStorageDefinition()->getSetting('target_type');
        $target_entity_type = \Drupal::entityTypeManager()->getDefinition($target_entity_type_id);
        // The target entity type doesn't use bundles, no need to validate them.
        if (!$target_entity_type->getKey('bundle')) {
          return TRUE;
        }
    
        if (empty($handler_settings['target_bundles'])) {
          return FALSE;
        }
    
        if (count($handler_settings['target_bundles']) != 1) {
          return FALSE;
        }
    
        return TRUE;
      }

    So maybe you are either referencing to no Storage type at all or are allowing more than one type? Nevertheless, this is most probably a problem of Inline Entity Form module and not Storage Entities. Closing as duplicate in favor of πŸ› Storage Entities - Simple not available for storage entities referenced via storage entities Active . If for some reason this is actually a problem originated by Storage Entities, feel free to re-open.

    Ah that's it, I'm referencing more than one type, maybe I'll update the readme on inline entity to clarify that simple won't work for more than one entity type reference
