Problem/Motivation

While creating or updating a node, which we will call "parent", which has another entity connected, which we will call "child", using inline entity form I cannot create new "child" entities because the error "This entity (node:) cannot be referenced."
However, if I connect an already existing "child" entity there is no problem.

I'm on Drupal 10.2.4

I had the same Problem my field was filtered by a View...

updated to 3.x did not solve it... but selecting Reference Method..

"Views: Filter by an entity reference view and allow autocreation"

and ticking the box "Create referenced entities if they don't already exist"

Did solve it... I don't know if that only exists in 3.x but it worked...

I am running into the same issue, but I could not find the "Views: Filter by an entity reference view and allow autocreation" selection method.

I think this is achieved by core issue #2800875: Autocreate for Entity Reference selection handlers that extend ViewsSelection. Will try that now.
