Problem/motivation

The bug in #3570672: Two simple link fields on same content type overwrite each other resulted in some two different values being saved to one of the single-value link fields on my form that looks like this:

uri: entity:node/1
options:
  data-entity-type: node
  data-entity-uuid: wrong-uuid-of-node-2
  href: /node/2

Because the code in prefers the UUID value above the actual uri value, this resulted in data loss the next time this form was saved. How can we prevent this for any existing field data?

Proposed resolution

Check and fix this mismatch in the field widget for now?

It makes sense to me that if there is a mismatch between the stored entity and the passed attribute UUID value, the original value should be used. Merging & marking as Fixed.
