<h3 id="summary-problem-motivation">Problem/Motivation</h3>
<p>I have just updated to Drupal 11.1.4 and PHP 8.4.3. Since the update I am getting issues with Profiles in Inline Entity Forms.<br>
This used to work fine with the latest D10 and PHP 8.2.</p>
<h4 id="summary-steps-reproduce">Steps to reproduce</h4>
<p>1. Add an entity reference field to a node, which references profiles.<br>
2. Set the form mode of the field to Inline Entity Form - Complex<br>
Settings:<br>
Form mode: Default<br>
Default labels are used.<br>
New profiles can be added.<br>
Existing profiles can be referenced and are matched with the Contains operator.<br>
profiles can not be duplicated.<br>
Always keep unreferenced profiles.</p>
<p>3. Try creating a profile.<br>
4. Get a JavaScript/AJAX error; IEF did nothing.<br>
5. See this error in the log:<br>
<code>TypeError: Drupal\Component\Utility\Html::escape(): Argument #1 ($text) must be of type string, null given, called in /home/customer/www/git/web/core/lib/Drupal/Component/Render/FormattableMarkup.php on line 238 in Drupal\Component\Utility\Html::escape() (line 431 of /home/customer/www/git/web/core/lib/Drupal/Component/Utility/Html.php).</code></p>

<p>I suppose the label generation code is returning NULL for some reason.</p>
<div class="codeblock">

<p>Providing an explicit label made the error go away and IEF works as it should:</p>

<p>Should there be some default value in case the label cannot be generated?</p>
