Hey all,
I have a Drupal 7 application with custom content types that had some select lists using Entity References. Our editors created new content with the custom type and selected multiple entries from the select list (ctrl+click).
Well, I decided to instead use the Auto-complete, because it was faster for the editors to use. Now when the editors visit previously developed content, the selections they used before the widget change are no longer linked to the content.
I did not remove/delete the select list widget, I just merely changed it to Auto-complete.
Any ideas on what happened and if I'll be able to get those other linked items back?
Thanks.
Are the widgets custom ones as the content type. If so, please let us see the code.
Does the auto complete work with new content?
If switched back to select list, do the old content come back?
Have you checked your database for the existing data?
