This is a no wellknown thing but it works well for some use cases: create a partial node form with only some fields attached and save. Only attached fields will be saved, others ignored.
What worls just file without CER, lest CER throw if the field is not present.:
CerException: Cannot create invalid reference to remote entity. in CerHandler->reference() (line 267 of /var/www/virtual/jenn/html/sites/all/modules/cer/handler.inc). Backtrace:

It would be great when Cer can handle that use case.

phenaproximaCER 2.x is deprecated, so I'm closing this bug.
