Problem/Motivation

The migration system doesn't yet support migrating Drupal 7 entity reference fields, along with their settings and values, from Drupal 7 to Drupal 8. The source module is https://www.drupal.org/project/references.

Proposed resolution

Add a field plugin to handle Drupal 7 entity reference fields.

Remaining tasks

  • Write the field plugin
  • Write tests of said plugin
  • Update the Drupal 7 fixture with an entity reference field or two
  • Update our integration tests to ensure that the entity reference fields and their configurations are migrated correctly
  • Update other integration tests to ensure that entity reference fields' values are migrated properly
  • Commit the patch
  • Cuddle several kittens

Looking at core/modules/field/tests/src/Kernel/Migrate/d7/MigrateFieldInstanceWidgetSettingsTest.php I see assertions for node user and term entity reference fields. Those assertions were committed in #2611066: Migration path to entity reference field from 7.x. And the d7 EntityReference field plugin was committed in #2901851: Replace the static map in the d7_field migration by field plugins.

I am not sure what is to be done here.
