I've successfully built a package (Build model option) containing a few entities that I need for BYOD. When I upload the package to my sandbox environment via LCS and refresh the entitiy list, I can see all the entities I've built in my project except the one I made for SalesTable. What can be the issue?
I've attempted to create it again from scratch and synch the database and it still doesn't work for me. Nothing looks out of the ordinary.Any idea as to what can be the issue here?
Can you see this entity in the entity list of your dev system?
Is the entity marked as public (IsPrivate:No)?
Is the entity label perhaps overlapping with some existing entity label? If there is such overlap, then the entity refresh can't use the label text as the name of your entity, instead it will use the label id (such as @MyLabel). If also that text is already used in the entity list, I think the refresh can't complete and this entity will not show up on your Data entities form.
Hi Agenum,
The most probable cause is the Entity label has same name as an existing data entity.
Can't see it in the dev system either. Entity is public as well.
I can confirm the label is overlapping, and it would seem this is most likely the issue. Is there documentation on how I can define my own labels?

Sorry, the article above is not fully relevant for your case. But anyway you should create a label file (if you don't already have it) and labels in it. And actually that part is described also in the article.
I have created a label file with "en-us" as language, and added a fiew fields and saved the project. However I can't seem to find them in the label brwoser when I try to set a label for the entity.I've followed this blog:https://www.tech.alirazazaidi.com/notes-about-labels-d365-for-finance-and-operations/
Is it okay perhaps to just give it a name (and not a reference to label id)?
It's a best practice to use labels. And if you don't know how to use them, it's a good moment to learn since you need them in all places where you want to create UI texts.
You can look at the labels in standard objects to understand how to reference a label in your entity. The syntax is @LabelFileName:LabelId
Technically you can just use a fixed text instead of a label to get your entity working.
