Hi There,
Motivation: this is a gap to the Sector D7 govt KIT and is really important for editorial staff!
The entity usage module should get us halfway there!
https://www.drupal.org/project/entity_usage/
I would like to replicate the Sector D7 set-up:
1 - the list under /admin/content/media has a usage column, with a usage value
2 - counts should include the media upload fields and the CK editor embeds (in Sector/Drupal 7 revisions were counted as well)
3 - the usage count is linked to a list of nodes
Ta,
Heike

danielvezaAgreed with @HeikeTs approach with Entity usage. It's a good module that's well supported, and does what we need out of the box.
Only small thing I found is a bug/improvement where the per node reporting could be better, and I've written a patch and included that.
Drupal.org issue on the Entity Usage queue is #3151920: Entity only tracked once per Node

heiket commentedAlso included in this fix is: An extended error message is shown to the users when a media entity is deleted that is used, and the message is linked to the usage screen.
Ta!

danielvezaYep - This is done now.
If the Media entity has any usages it displayed additional help text to make it clear.
Comment #7
danielvezaPassed internal testing from @HeikeT. Committed.
Thanks!
