Acts on an entity object about to be shown on an entity form.

This can be typically used to pre-fill entity values or change the form state before the entity form is built. It is invoked just once when first building the entity form. Rebuilds will not trigger a new invocation.

Parameters

\Drupal\Core\Entity\EntityInterface $entity: The entity that is about to be shown on the form.

$operation: The current operation.

\Drupal\Core\Form\FormStateInterface $form_state: The current state of the form.
