Idea - Generating screens without auditing fields

Generating screens without auditing fields

New

Ideas

On my entity I have some auditing fields like ModifiedBy and CreatedBy. When you generate a screen by dragging the entity on the MainFlow you don't want to have these fields such as ModifiedBy and CreatedBy generated as fields on the screen. Just like the Id attribute is not generated on the screen.

It would be nice to have an option when declaring an entity attribute not having this field generate on the screen. For example if you have an audit field like ModifiedBy or CreatedOn.

I agree with this idea.

It would also be useful if the field names were intelligently looked (such as when creating fields) when you let create a screen, and then nonsensical fields were not automatically included.

I don't even need it to be intelligent, just give me a boolean on each attribute definition where I can indicate if this is a typical UI field or not. Default is false for id and true for all others.

Once I have my set of audit attributes identified and put to false, I would typically copy them from a previous entity when creating a new one, and the boolean will be copied along.
