The JADE 2022 release meets tomorrow’s business demands.
If there is any additional info we want to store on an Attribute or a Reference, we can only add the info as Text. It would be useful if we could create another value that we choose to populate with relevant consistent information.
For example we may define an Reference as System controlled, which mean it cannot be edited, or we may want to define how an ID is determined.
Obviously we can put code on the set method or whatever to force it, but this would allow us to do it generically.
We often create an id attribute which we create a collection over, and set the id to be the Instance Id of the Object, if we had another value on Attribute which we called generatedMethod we could set it to InstanceId and that would be it.
