• ECK properties:

  • Shared entity flag - When this checkbox is checked, the entity can be found
  • Shared entity title - Users can provide an alternative title for the entity to make it easier to find. This is especially useful when the references entities do not have a title at all.

• Entityreference selection handler - This handler only lists shared entities and also allows the user to search for the shared entity title property in the autocomplete

• Permissions granulated down to the entity bundle types

• Views support is provided by ECK
