new action type in prepopulate : Display rendered entity [#2126203]

Now there is 3 options when prepolutating value for an entity reference via url :
Do nothing
Hide
Desactivate

How about adding a "display rendered entity" as the reference is given why do not display the rendered entity even if we are in edit mode.
My use case is the following :
I've got an A entity with a link that feed a B entity with it's reference (ref to A) when the link is clicked i would like to display a summary of the A fields in B (i.e the rendered entity prepopulated with A id) and ask for user to complete other fields of B then save contribution.

Now i could only have a display of a not very friendly ref field in the new B page instead of the A content during B creation.

Is there a way to do that ?

Hi,

I needed this for a project I'm working on. Provided is a patch that lets you display prepopulated fields as rendered entities. Select the action "Display rendered entity" and desired view mode in the fields instance settings.

The action overrides the fields theme function and instead displays the rendered entities. I'm not sure that this is the best approach, but it works :)
