Hi, I want to add calculated field X to the entity even if X not included in the entityDefs fields.

Hi Eymen,

It was not designed to have fields (or attributes) w/o defining them in entityDefs. If you need an attribute but don't want to have a column created in DB, you need to set "notStorable": true in entityDefs.

Maybe it's possible to do some trick w/o entityDefs in Entity class, but it was not designed to work this way.

Thank you for the replay, I already used "notStorable", but I was working on hook that adds additional field to all entities depending on some general logic.

I will try to find some trick for this.

Perhaps you could use "getMetadata()->set" to code the additional fields from the hook like its done in the EntityManager class
