Redhen CRM has this cool group functionality that allows content be posted within groups (similar to OG) and it does this by adding an entityreference field (referencing the organization/group) to the specified node bundles. This doesn't work with entityreference_prepoulate because the field Redhen creates is locked.

  1. Is this a suitable endeavor for someone who's learning php and module development?
  2. Can you suggest how I should go about doing this?

I expect to have to research multiple steps along the way but don't know where to begin. I'm also weary about this being more complex than what I'm ready for. I thought about making this a feature request for redhen but would be much happier about doing that if I could provide a patch. Any pointers please? Thank you!
