Duplicating Composite Data Entity (to update IsPublic property) for OData

We have a requirement to expose Vendor Invoice functionality via Rest API (OData).

I have experience duplicating a single data entity in order to set the IsPublic property to Yes and expose it through OData.

I need to do the same thing with the VendInvoiceEntity data entity, which is a composite data entity. The three data entities making up this composite data entity all have IsPublic set to Yes. But VendInvoiceEntity has IsPublic set to No.

However, when I duplicate VendInvoiceEntity and add it to my project, the IsPublic property is no longer available for me to update it to Yes:

The list of properties has a lot of differences in the duplicated version when I duplicate this composite data entity.

Is there a different process for duplicating a composite data entity? Do I also need to duplicate the data entities that make up the composite data entity as well? Should I create my own composite data entity?

I have the same question (0)

Hi Jackie,

Better option will be creating a composite entity from scratch same as the standard and see if it works

Hi, Composite Data Entites are not supported for Odata. You can check any standard composite data entity, isPublic field will be inaccessible when data entity opened in Designer in visual studio.

Yes, Composite data entities cannot be used in OData and I checked that.

One option you can do is creating custom entity by joining all the tables in the composite entity and use that in the OData.

Thanks,
