I have a use case where I have an entity reference field (field_video_reference) that references video nodes on the site, and those nodes use a video_embed_field module field to play videos from another site of ours. The WYSIWYG button is working just fine (I also has to write a custom codec for out video site), but I'd like to user-proof the functionality by auto-filling the Video URL field (in _video_filter_form) with a value from the referenced video node. In playing with hook_form_alter(), I see that the values of any other fields on the node are not available, so I would like to know if there might be another way to get the value of the field_video_reference field and add it to _video_filter_form.

Thanks.

This sounds like something custom and unique case. Since both D7 and D8 modules using form API you should be able to achieve this buy using form_alter and overriding CKEditor plugins for your project.

Well, as I said, it isn't available in hook_form_alter (or any other hook). or I would.

However, this wasn't a crucial need. so no problem.
