Disable automatic referencing of ID fields in AutoRegister

Locode
1

In Locode the system seems to register numeric ID’s to be displayed as an arbitrary other field, which isn’t helpful (or meaningful) if it’s something like a description field.
Is there a default to tell it not to do this, or do I have to code in the identity of all the Id fields into TypeFilter to prevent this?
It looks like this sort of thing works, but it’s pretty messy. Is there a better way?:

TypeFilter = (type, request) =>
{
    type.Properties?
        .Where(p =>
            p.Items != null
            && p.Items.TryGetValue("ColumnSchema", out var schema)
            && (schema as ColumnSchema)!.IsKey)
        .Each(p2 => p2
            .AddAttribute(new RefAttribute())
        );

It uses the first string field for its description, you can use [Ref(RefLabel="PreferredColumn")] to override, which you can dynamically add when generating database-first types in AutoQueryFeature GenerateCrudServices.TypeFilter as you’re doing.

You can also customize the AppMetadata returned in /metadata/app.json that powers the Auto UI with:

appHost.AddToAppMetadata(metadata => {
});

As you’ve started using Locode, please checkout the new Locode v2 which has been rewritten in Vue 3:

I’ve added information about referential data at the bottom of the post where you can disable inference with [Ref(None=true)].
