Reference method of reference field switches to first available in list if previously set to default

Problem/Motivation

The reference type settings of a entity reference field are constantly changing from default to another option.

Steps to reproduce

See screencast from this ticker:

https://www.drupal.org/files/issues/2024-10-15/Screencast.mp4 →

Proposed resolution

I guess this is an issue, where other reference methods get selected when the currently chosen reference method is "default" in the database. This seems to be a selection issue of the default value in the widget. Whatever method is sorted first in the selection list gets selected.

    Changes are made on on 11.x (our main development branch) first, and are then back ported as needed according to our policies.

    I tried this on a version of D11 dev with 2.0.8 of ECA (I enabled its Content/Core/UI/Views submodules) and I don't see the same issue. In one of the other posts you said it was due to Taxonomy Manager, is that still the case?

    Can you start from a blank slate and give a text description of the steps to reproduce this?

    Have you tried with other browsers and disabling any extensions in those browsers?

    I am seeing this same exact error on Drupal 10.5.1 and with ECA 2.1.10 , the reference method in reference type goes always back to
    Event-Based selection with ECA even selecting the Default and a taxonomy term for it and saving.

    I have taxonomy manager installed and also drupal AI, which I was using and noticing this, but maybe not related.
    Is there a fix for Drupal 10 for this issue?
