Problem/Motivation

For our use case we would like to use an existing term (entity) reference field for the "best bet" logic. Currently it is only possible to manually fill in text fields.

Proposed resolution

Either provide a means to select an existing reference field to fill in, or automatically fill the best_bets fields with the names of the terms selected in the vocabulary.

Remaining tasks

Work out the best option.
Implement it.

FYI we ended up just using the per-field boost settings to accomplish this - it's not perfect, but it's close enough.

Wonder if we can update the field to allow for default values. Then you could set a token to the reference field.

Don't see any harm in adding this as is.
