Hi, Have you considered supporting multiple target types? For example, we use boxes_entities. It would be nice to have a single queue that manages both nodes and boxes. This would allow editors to create all kinds of flavors or re-arranging and content placement of various entity types.

Thanks for the work you have done.

I like this idea as well. I think since Entityreference module is a dependency we either need #2066865: Multiple Target entity type feature for Entity reference field or not use Entityreference fields for the queue items.

I did consider this option, but, unfortunately, it's very hard to accomplish in Drupal 7 if we want to keep the dependency on Entity reference (and we really do!).

It will be much easier in Drupal 8 though, so marking as postponed for now.

Since this was brought up in #2232917: Drupal 8 Version of Entityqueue I thought I would update this issue and add a link to https://www.drupal.org/project/dynamic_entity_reference

Looks like there is a D7 version of that module too, so perhaps a backport at some point might be possible.

Since no one else requested this feature in the past few years, I guess it's not really needed for now..

Came across this from a search, due to needing this feature in a project. Is this something that could be reconsidered for D9?
