Hi all,

I've mapped an inherited entity as follows (Using TargetPerHierachy):

Schedule DailySchedule

Code generates file.

However, when I refresh my database, DailySchedule loses it name and becomes Schedule_

Any idea why? Do you need to be attach my project file?

Thanks!

I think the issue is caused by SyncMappedElementNamesAfterRefresh = True.

But it doesn't quite make sense why SyncMappedElementNamesAfterRefresh should rename inherited entities?

Wow, how do you guys find these articles?

Was the decision to keep the behaviour as is?

Seems a bit odd to reset inherited entities which are manually assigned a name

I thought I saw a thread that said this was "fixed" in v2.6

It was fixed for FIELD names (fields and fields mapped on relations).

For multiple entities mapped onto the same table (which can be with inheritance through TargetPerEntityHierarchy or simply by mapping multiple entities onto the same table), it's a bit of a problem:

The feature says: Sync. However we should skip renamed entities according to this issue. However, that would make the feature moot: why sync if some elements will be skipped?

I agree that when using targetperentityhierarchy inheritance, the sync won't be useful, but what can it do? Skip these entities? What should it do with the root entity of the hierarchy? Leave it as-is or skip it too? This isn't always clear. So we didn't fix it for entity names: people who run into this problem, have to disable the setting.

Refresh produces a detailed report of what has been changed. This should be examined after every refresh.
