Hi,

I could not find documentation on how to POST to an entity reference field which references another content.

There seem to be only samples for POSTing to taxonomy terms or comments:

https://www.drupal.org/docs/8/core/modules/rest/javascript-and-drupal-8-...

No mentioning of differences or similarities for entity references.

Could you please provide me with a sample, which shows how to POST (hal+json) to an e.g. Article which has an entity reference field to a page?

Thanks

Here is the very simple solution that works for me:

"_embedded": { 
	"https://example.com/rest/relation/node/<entity type e.g. article>/my_entity_reference_field": [ 
		{ "uuid": [ { "value": "youruuid-8ad9-4dda-a868-a7ce580e9e93" } ] } 
		] 
}
