email_email_address : Can't add custom columns

[Firyo]

Hi there,

I need to add 3 new custom columns to the link table between "email" and "email_address" (email_email_address).
The 3 columns are : 2 varchars fields and 1 datetime

To add them I edited my already existant "custom/Espo/Custom/Resources/metadata/entityDefs/Email.json" file and added the following code (based on the default Espo entityDefs/Email.json).

"toEmailAddresses": {
    "type": "hasMany",
   "entity": "EmailAddress",
   "relationName": "emailEmailAddress",
   "conditions": {
      "addressType": "to"
   },
   "additionalColumns": {
      "addressType": {
         "type": "varchar",
         "len": "4"
      },
      "mailLastStatus": {
         "type": "varchar"
      },
      "mailLastDateTime": {
         "type": "datetime"
      },
      "messageId": {
         "type": "varchar"
      }
   }
},
"ccEmailAddresses": {
   "type": "hasMany",
   "entity": "EmailAddress",
   "relationName": "emailEmailAddress",
   "conditions": {
      "addressType": "cc"
   },
   "additionalColumns": {
      "addressType": {
         "type": "varchar",
         "len": "4"
      },
      "mailLastStatus": {
         "type": "varchar"
      },
      "mailLastDateTime": {
         "type": "datetime"
      },
      "messageId": {
         "type": "varchar"
      }
   },
   "layoutDefaultSidePanelDisabled": true
},
"bccEmailAddresses": {
   "type": "hasMany",
   "entity": "EmailAddress",
   "relationName": "emailEmailAddress",
   "conditions": {
      "addressType": "bcc"
   },
   "additionalColumns": {
      "addressType": {
         "type": "varchar",
         "len": "4"
      },
      "mailLastStatus": {
         "type": "varchar"
      },
      "mailLastDateTime": {
         "type": "datetime"
      },
      "messageId": {
         "type": "varchar"
      }
},​
​

Then, as usual I run

php ./rebuild.php

, no error is triggered or logged

BUT

the table is unchanged, nothing happened.

I found why I had this issue and fixed it.

After using Xdebug to check how the rebuild is working I searched for other "links" that also had the "relationName" set to "emailEmailAddress".

And there were one, named "replyToEmailAddresses" that was discarding my custom links new "additionalColumns".

I added the link "replyToEmailAddresses" in my custom entityDefs file and added my 3 custom fields in it and IT WORKS !
