We're in need of a solution for handling revisions of beans that are loaded through an entity reference.

What I'm thinking is the following:

  • Because of our content architecture we don't need to specifically deal with workflow tracking of the bean entities themselves.
  • Work to get entityreference to track the specific revision of the referenced entity, i.e. bean. There is work in progress for this already: #1837650
  • When a field is saved it would point to the newest revision of the referenced object.
  • When the node is loaded it would load the specific field value for that node revision, which would then point to a specific bean revision.

That's the theory. Now to try it.

I have planned integration with the state flow module to control workflow. First #1874544: Add state property would need to be done.

Looks like there's a couple newer modules available that handle entity revision workflow or facilitate working with entity revisions.
check cps and sps
http://drupal.org/project/cps # lots of recent development happening
http://drupal.org/project/sps # looks like the dev branch is active, has been around since 2012
