How will entities be generated?
Will we be able to have comments for a "field" that the Studio will honour?

Reason - with a 30+ year old database there are one or two:p badly named fields that it is not practical to rename, so it would be good to be able to document what the "field" is really used for and explain any abbreviated name (which made sense 30+ years ago to the person who came up with it). ]]> DataFlex Technology Stack Testing Ian Smith https://support.dataaccess.com/Forums/showthread.php?73456-Entities YAFR: better Date to String options. https://support.dataaccess.com/Forums/showthread.php?73450-YAFR-better-Date-to-String-options&goto=newpost Mon, 03 Aug 2026 16:09:55 GMT We are being bitten by regional settings for dates being handled differently in SQL server vs DF. ---Quote--- * Raw Data shows dates and... We are being bitten by regional settings for dates being handled differently in SQL server vs DF.
Quote:

  • Raw Data shows dates and times in U.S. format. Depending on your Windows Regional Settings, raw data may be displayed in a different format.
can we have a way to override, at the Application level, this dependency on windows regional settings? In particular Korean seems to have an odd separator in the date time, which is represented differently in SQL server.

FYI underlying cause is that we hash the concatenated string values of all the (other) fields in a table to create a hash that we use to detect tampering. ]]> DataFlex Technology Stack Testing Michael Mullan https://support.dataaccess.com/Forums/showthread.php?73450-YAFR-better-Date-to-String-options
