Hi all,

Not quite a PHP/Drupal newbie here, but definitely rusty.

I've set up an Entity Reference View which collects and displays submission data from an Entityform. The relevant fields on view are:

Title
Description

I'm pulling these fields into another Entityform through an Entity Reference checkbox option. So far, so good - I've got the right data showing and the checkboxes are working as expected.

However, when I save the new Entityform submission, it's printing: "[form/entity name] - [user name] - [date] - [time]", and not the [field_taxonomy] data, which is what I want.

How do I configure or redirect this? I've tried variations on references and contextual filters, but nothing has worked. I'm pretty sure this is a simple operation, but I'm not seeing it. TIA.

Saving a particular field of a related entities with Entity Reference (Codegur) (http://www.codegur.me/29670162/saving-a-particular-field-of-a-related-en...)

Is there a workaround? Should I be looking at rules?

I'm still trying to find a workaround for this issue. I've found several others with the same issue (see above, and http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21429686/drupal-7-webform-entityforms...)

On the Entityform not displaying desired value thread (https://www.drupal.org/node/2350271), Tedbow states:

On second entityform type you are using a Entity Reference field. This type of field will always stored the entity id of the target entity not a text value. There are some ways you can set up to look like it is storing the text value but it won't really be stored.

The comment is from 2 years ago, and I haven't had any luck finding a recent workaround or a patch. I would be grateful for assistance, if anyone has a fix.
