The only option ist adding the "alt" field. Please add support for the image id (as it is working with taxonomy terms). Thanks in advance.

jayelless commentedHere is a patch that provides an export of a target_id value from an entity reference field as a numeric value. It should work with file ids as well as any other entity ids.

cburschkaI'm really surprised this is needed, since Image fields are a subclass of File fields, which are a subclass of Entity Reference fields. There's a field formatter for displaying the ID of an Entity Reference field in core.
Unfortunately, the plugin system doesn't know inheritance - the field formatter is annotated as being for entity_reference fields only, not for fields with a type that is a subclass of the entity_reference type.
I think I'll file a core issue for extending that annotation a bit.
In the meantime, we can add this class.

cburschkaMaking the integer-casting conditional on the ID actually being an integer string, which should be the case for most entity reference fields, but not all. I'm not happy with making it value-dependent like this, but there is no clean way to ask an entity if its type uses integer IDs - and content entities always return their IDs as strings even when they are stored as integers.
