A context entity can be filled with a reference entity (like 'node.uid.entity') when the action is created, but fails on update with this error message:

Expected a entity data type for context but got a entity_reference data type instead.

The reaction works well anyway. The attached video show the steps to reproduce. It fails in alpha3 as well as in the latest -dev from github.

@manuel.adan sorry, I can't play your avi video here, could you export the rule and paste it here to test, thanks.

@drupalfan79: The link to the .avi file is still good and the video plays properly. If the problem is due to content-type restrictions in your country, is there something we can do to make this content available for you? The .avi file just shows the steps to take to reproduce this problem on a standard Drupal website.

@TR, thanks for your help, and finally, I used another computer to play the video successfully.

I can reproduce the issue, and exported the rule here:

I believe it's about entity and entity_reference type comparison, and duplicated issue as #3059402 Set data action in referenced entity..
