Error trying to create a node [#2881232]

Problem/Motivation

Once I configure my External Entity and I add the External Entity field in a content type I can see the list of my external entities in a select element, but when I try to create a node it doesn't works and I see the following error in the logs:

Drupal\Core\Entity\Query\QueryException: You must specify a single bundle for external entity queries. in Drupal\external_entities\Entity\Query\External\Query->prepare() (line 128 of /Users/adriancid/Sites/drupal83-test/modules/external_entities/src/Entity/Query/External/Query.php).

Proposed resolution

Remaining tasks

User interface changes

None.

API changes

Data model changes

I have a similar problem: I get that very same error whenever I try to create a new field for the external entity. The moment I set the field settings, this exception is thrown, and the form is not saved.

I really don't know how we have 75 sites using this module, I tried many times to use the module in Drupal 8.3 and it does not works.

Steps to reproduce:

Create at least 2 external entity types
Add an external entity reference field to a content type (eg. admin/structure/types/manage/article/fields)
When configuring the "Reference type", select at least 2 external entity types
On the "Manage form display" page, select the "Select list" widget
Edit a node

I think this can be solved by a custom @EntityReferenceSelection plugin. Several entity types in core already have this, for varying reasons, not too different from our reason here (single bundle queries only).
