Hi
I'm sorry if this is a dumb question, but I can't figure out if there is a select widget somewhere.
Within the field Entity Reference there are two widgets, Autocomplete and Autocomplete (Tags style). On the project page, it says that there are also two widgets implemented on top of the list module. I tried to create a List (text) field but there isn't any options after related to Entity Reference.
Can someone enlighten me please ?

This text should have read "implemented on top of the Options module".

Thanks for your answer.
Well, I have the Options module enabled, it's required by the List module.
Where/How then can I create a select form element and specify Entity Reference options like the autocomplete widget ?

I would be interested in knowing how to implement a select list as well. I posted what I needed before on RC1 here: http://drupal.org/node/1551166

I ended up altering the form field myself within my module, but when I updated to RC3 the form throws the error:
There are no entities matching "51"

The id 51 is related to the user id being select in the select list. Obviously something changed in code that I'm missing. Rather than hack it like I am, I'd rather use a built in solution if there is one.

When you have the Options module enabled, you should see a "Select list" widget and a "Check boxes / radio buttons".

I'm a little bit baffled how this is not clear.

Well, I'm baffled too seeing your screenshot.
I only got the two autocomplete widgets, not the list/checkbox.

But I just tried a fresh install of D7 just just CTools, Entity API and Entity Ref, and indeed I've got the list widget!
Maybe a conflict with another module ? I'll try to find out.

Found it :p
When I've the Exif module disabled, List and Checkbox widgets appear.

Nice detective work :)

See #1529282: Incorrect hook_field_widget_info_alter() breaks existing/new unrelated fields.

I'm gonna check with them.
