I have a content type that has a node reference field that reads from a View and this works great. The view is referencing another content type with a specific field output. If I change the field of the referenced content type so that it no longer appears in the View, it will no longer be listed inside the "Edit" of the original page, which is also great.

However the original selected reference node still remains on the page, the only way to remove this is to access the page, select edit (this then shows the remaining reference nodes with the specific output) and upon the save it removes the one that's no longer listed in the View.

My question is, has any one developed of overcome this issue so that there is a forced page>edit>save, maybe connected to a cronjob or maybe when the referenced content type is saved, it automatically saves the other content type, or maybe a button that will cause a mass edit>save of a particular content type?

I'd appreciate any comments regarding this.
