(Edited to clarify some things.)

Is there a way in which this module can tie into Entity Reference functionality via keying off a separate field value for a specific content type? (That's a lot, I know.)

Here's where I'm coming from:

Let's say you have a Java Client content type and a Product content type. Products can use Entity Reference to reference different versions of a Java client (as a means of tracking Java version dependencies of products). Since Java Client is a content type, it basically implies that multiple nodes will exist of it (each representing their own exclusive version representation--complete with special notes about the given client, what quirks it might have, when it came out, etc.). Instead of forcing users to make individual references of Java Client nodes (which would be a maintenance nightmare), it would make more sense to select a range by using the Range module to key off a specific content type basing it's selectable range values from a field within that content type (i.e. - "Version"). Make sense?

Here's an example: if 3 nodes were to exist of the Java Client content type, where one had a "Version" field value of 1.6, another had 1.7, and the last had 1.8, it would be awesome if Range could somehow tie into this and allow an Entity Reference range selection of those nodes based on the Version field values.

I haven't heard of anything like this and since Range seeks to allow ranged field value selections, I thought I'd put this out there to see what others thought and to see if anyone might know of such a selector for Entity Reference fields that use this kind of approach.

Thanks in advance.

Hi @Wolf_22,

I'm afraid your request is very project specific and it does not make a lot of sense to have such kind of functionality here. My advice would be to implement your needs in a custom module (maybe on top of Range)
