Incompatible with Paragraphs / Inline Entity Form

Open on Drupal.org →

Problem/Motivation

First of all thank you very much for this great and super helpful module!

I was trying to use this on different paragraph widgets, I tried:

Paragraphs Stable
Inline Entity Form Simple ( https://www.drupal.org/project/inline_entity_form → )
Inline Entity Form Complex ( https://www.drupal.org/project/inline_entity_form → )
Paragraphs Table ( https://www.drupal.org/project/paragraphs_table → )

and all behave very strange, if the "Number of values to display" setting is filled.

I encountered the following issues:

On entity / node fresh creation:

Initial form display is fine - configured number of entries appears correctly
"Collapse" functionality is broken and breaks the entered values
Entered values are NOT saved and LOST

Initial form display is fine - configured number of entries appears correctly
Entered values are NOT saved and LOST

No empty lines are added at all - the form looks like without this module (which might be okay, if not supported)

On entity / node edit:

Initial form display is fine - configured number of entries appears correctly, but is always empty due to above
"Collapse" functionality is broken and breaks the entered values
Entered values are NOT saved and LOST

Entries from line 1 are repeated on all lines that have no explicit values. E.g. if you enter two deltas, from line 3 on the values from the very first line are pre-filled in the "empty" lines that were shown by this module. I verified that they are *not* existing in the database. Only 2 database values.

Steps to reproduce

Install the paragraph module and unlimited_field_settings module
Create a paragraph field and set an amount of fields to show on the widget, e.g. "10"
Try adding and editing the content

Proposed resolution

As the issues seem to be very similar in all cases, maybe the resolution is also the same, so it would be great to fix this. The functionality of this module would also be VERY helpful for paragraphs, if there are many to enter at once!

Possible workaround: Don't use "Unlimited" (where possible) and this module and instead set a fixed limit for the field values plus https://www.drupal.org/project/sam → (if it works with paragraphs ... )
