Entry FieldType - Get the EntryModel of the entry chosen in the field?
Nevermind.

Apparently I have to grab first() which will give me the selected entry.

I know I tried this before and it didn't work. I must have been in the wrong context or something.

$center-&gt;getFieldValue('hotline')-&gt;first();
or
$center-&gt;hotline-&gt;first(); is what I needed.
