The 2026 Drupal Business Survey is open. Your response will help shape the future of the Drupal business ecosystem.No Field collection for an entity, no view results, no Add Field collection link
so if we have no field collection added for an entity there's no way to add a new one with the "Views field-collection items" formatter.
or i'm just doing something wrong?

g089h515r806 commentedYou could config in the setting of default view.
"Add" link is in the footer of the view, you could choose display footer even views have no content.
I am not sure this is ok.Try and test it.

g089h515r806 commentedYes,This is bug,we need remove the "Add" link from default view, and make it as a Field Format setting.
I have add your account to the maintainer of this project,you could fix it and commit your code by yourself.

vasikeok. thank you
actually i didn't notice the reply.
before fixing this, a quick question:
probably you used the field collection argument instead of entity because of the difference of entity ids, am i right?
Comment #6
vasikei created the 7 dev branch and i commited the changes as you said at #4.
but, i noticed that using the formatter within a view the Add link won't show. i think this a field collection issue for empty bookings.
i'm thinking about keeping the old view and add the Add links only if there's no result.
What do you think?

vasikePut back the default display and Use the Add link only if there's no result.
Consider done
