Hi @sirclickalot
Great question, I haven't done a full deep dive into CER just yet, but from the quick installation I did put in it looks like it only works with reference fields. EVI specifically works on a field to field sync method. Meaning that If I have the model of
Agency -> Site -> Program
The Site references an Agency and the Program can reference a Site or an Agency.
There could be a field like body field or a text field on the Site entity that stays up to date with the Agency. EVI also allows for those fields to no longer be in sync meaning that for one of the Site entities that reference the Agency it can have a different value.
The biggest use case is the values are stored at the individual entity level and are allowed to stay in sync. It keeps the model of the entities and bundles.
I'll do a deeper dive into CER and see what else it might do similarly to EVI. Thank you for the question.
