How do you add a filter with manage form display?

So I know with form display, you add fields to the content type which then can be re-arranged under form display.

But what about more complicated features, like filtering via taxonomy terms? I know with Manage Display I can use a EVA view and do all kinds of cool stuff.

But with form display, It feels very limited to only the fields added. Is there a way to make form display also work like manage display, where I can pop in a view?

I mostly want to have a form that will filter via taxonomy terms but all I can do is add fields. Not do complex things like views can. Is this possible?

Do you mean you want a taxonomy field in the node form, and be able to filter which terms are selectable to the user up front? Or do you want to present a UI to the user so they can search/filter the terms themselves based on a view/exposed filters that you create?

You may be looking for the [Entity browser](https://www.drupal.org/project/entity_browser) module.

Yes, the really cool stuff is in the Media ecosystem which can not only manage Media entities and is entirely based on Views. For basic things there is a Views filtering method already in core. Not in manage form display, but in field settings, you can change the reference method to "Views: filter by an entity reference view" in which you can configure filtering via taxonomy terms.

@Clive, I believe I actually want both possibilities. Basically what I am going for is I have meals that the user can select, but their just titles. I wanted to add a taxonomy term to them such as breakfast, lunch, dinner, so they are distingisuable in the form mode, but I don't see anyway to filter the form. Only the manage display can you use a view to filter items.

I would also like to ask, is it possible for exposed filters to display under a entity reference for display type? Because my exposed filters are not showing/displaying at all.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
