Problem/Motivation

I'm using IEF with a profile → entity reference field, complex widget. Users have to select from one of their profiles when creating a certain entity. If they have no existing profiles, it's a bit of a UI WTF to offer a "Add existing $label" button to do an AJAX command to reveal a form element that can select nothing.

It'd be great if the widget could figure out if there are *any* reference-able entities, and if there are none, to hide this aspect of the widget entirely.

Steps to reproduce

Proposed resolution

Have the complex widget check for any possible entities the current user can reference, and if there are 0, hide the "Add existing X" button + UI elements.
