Problem/Motivation

I have two content types: albums and artists, where albums are an inline entity inside artists. In cases where there are multiple artists collaborating on an album, I have an EVA that pulls the names of all the artists that a given album is embedded in.

In the older version of this module, I was able to make sure that if we are looking at an artist's site, we showed only their collaborator, and excluded the name of the artist whose page we're looking at. (It's a page about artist X where their collaborative albums display the name of the collaborator Y as "with Y", and excludes X as the second artist because we are already on X's page.

Steps to reproduce

The set-up is exactly as it was in the earlier version, except the filtering is done on the contextual filter side, so the regular filter is removed, an additional contextual filter is added on node ID, then "When the filter value is NOT available" > "Provide default value" > "Previously rendered entities" then ??? The instruction says to select the entity type to track, but I don't see "node ID" or "Title field" or anything else that I imagine I should be using as the entity type.

What do I need to select to handle cases where artist X is not returned as a collaborator on album A on artist X's page and we only see other collaborators, Y, Z, whatever?
