Incorrect entity reference field label: "Add exiting node" instead of "Add existing document" for Document content type

Created on 18 June 2025, 19 days ago

Context

When using entity reference fields to reference Document content type in other content types (such as News), the field widget displays an incorrect label "Add exiting node" instead of the proper "Add existing document". This affects user experience and may cause confusion for content editors who are working with document references throughout the intranet system.

Task Type

Type: Bug

What To Do

Fix the entity reference field label to display "Add existing document" instead of "Add exiting node" when referencing Document content type. The label should be contextually appropriate and clearly indicate that users are adding existing documents rather than generic nodes.

Proposed Approach

Investigate the entity reference field configuration and widget settings for Document content type references. The issue is likely in the field widget configuration, form display settings, or potentially in the entity reference widget labels. Check the following areas:

  • Entity reference field settings and widget configuration
  • Form display settings for content types that reference Documents
  • Custom field widget implementations or overrides
  • Translation strings or label configurations

Update the appropriate configuration or code to ensure the label correctly reflects "Add existing document" for Document entity references.
