In views:
Create new view for the selected items list.
Uncheck page and block and hit continue and edit

click the +Add button and select Entity Reference View widget as the type

under Format select Table
Add fields: Most important will be "Entity Reference View widget checkbox (exclude labe from display and rearrange fieds, so the checkbox will apear first)

in contextual filters, check Nid, and under More, check both items: Allow multiple and Exclude.

If you have a long list of values to choose from, add column sorting and filters, Including exposed filters if needed. In advanced > Use Ajax, set value to Yes.

In the content type that requires an Entity Reference Field:
Create the Entity Reference Field, and set Views as the selected widget
Select the view
check "Pass selected entry ids to view" and "Close window after submit"
