Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.
After reading the module description, the basic question is not answered to me:
What can this module do what a multiple(!) entityrelation field cannot do?

What module provides the entityrelation field you're referring to?
Comment #2
geek-merlini meant entityreference...

arnoldbird CreditAttribution: arnoldbird commentedThe difference will quickly be apparent if you install both modules.
entityreference lets you reference specific entities. It does not build dynamic lists based on conditions. You can configure entityreference to permit multiple references, but you still have to specify the entities manually, and thus your list will be static.
If you don't need your list items to change when new content is added, then multiple instances of entityreference will suffice. If you need the list items to change when new content is added to the site, multiple instances of entityreference won't support that unless you intend to manually change the references each time content is added to your site.

geek-merlinThank you for clarification, i did not get this from the module page.
Maybe you want to add a screenshot of the configuration widget to the module page...
