I have a custom entity that I want to link with Address entity. Custom entity has one address field for now but I want this entity to save addresses like Account or Contact entity saves the addresses in Address entity.
I tried creating a 1:N relationship but that didn't work. Is it possible guys?
The Address entity is limited in that one cannot link other entities to it. In other words, there cannot be any relationships created other than what there is OOB. The Address entity is there for creation of addresses on Accounts and Contacts only.
You can create a custom entity same as Address and then You can Use Created
Entity as a Entity Reference and Store Your Information into CRM.

First of all i'm new to Jhipster, i've read the official documentations but i still can't seem to find a solution to my problem (i've been stuck for almost 3 weeks now), that's why i decided to ask here for help.
So, i have an application where i need to create an entity called employee and i need to create a user account with the additional fields taht are specified in the employee entity, so in other words, when i fill the form to create a new employee that will not only create a new one but it will also automatically create a user account for that emplyee.
What i've tried doing up until now, is creating a new employee entity and link it with a OneToOne relashionship to the USER entity (created by Jhipster) but the thing is, in that case i would have to create a new user and then add the additional information for the employee, wheareas i need it to be in the same form, to create an employee and the user linked to it at the same time.
Any help will be really appreciated.
What you want to do is not supported off the shelf by JHipster, you have to code it manually.
In backend, you could do it by defining a DTO that combines both entities, a RestController that exposes it and a service that is responsible for orchestrating persistence.
In frontend, it's the same you have a component that contains the form to update this DTO and call your REST API.
Alternatively, if a User is always an Employee, you could also merge them in a single User entity.
Of course, this depends on which authentication type you selected which defines where users are managed.
I have a bunch of new entities defines but I want have a #OneToMany from User to one of these entities. Do I have to code it manually inside User or can I do it with the JDL studio ?
User entity is an special entity. As you can read in the JHipster documentation, not all types of relationships are allowed with User.
Tip: the User entity
Please note that the User entity, which is handled by JHipster, is
specific. You can do:
many-to-one relationships to this entity (a Car can have a many-to-one relationship to a User). This will generate a specific
query in your new entity repository, so you can filter your entity on
the current security user, which is a common requirement. On the
generated Angular/React client UI you will have a dropdown in Car to
select a User.
many-to-many and one-to-one relationships to the User entity, but the other entity must be the owner of the relationship (a Team can
have a many-to-many relationship to User, but only the team can
add/remove users, and a user cannot add/remove a team). On the
Angular/React client UI, you will also be able to select a User in a
multi-select box.
When using the UAA authentication type, you can only create
relationships to the User entity if the related entity is also within
the UAA microservice.
I just started a project with the code generator "Jhipster". I'm trying to make a OneToMany relationship with the "User" relationship. I've looked at a lot of topics already but I can't find any working answers. Do you have any ideas? I even tried to go through an intermediate relationship but nothing works.
Thank you very much.
You can create relationships between your model entities and the special entity User. But you have to take into consideration the restrictions of this entity. As it appears in the JHipster documentation:
Tip: the User entity

specific. You can do:
many-to-one relationships to this entity (a Car can have a many-to-one relationship to a User). This will generate a specific

When registering a plugin step with the registration tool, there is option for "Secondary Entity". What is a Secondary Entity, and in what scenario would a CRM developer can use this option?
Thanks
Secondary entity is used for SetRelated and RemoveRelated messages, otherwise it should be null.
Secondary entity is child is the related entity of primary entity. Secondary Entity should used only when you want to trigger plugin for an event requiring two entities like the "SetRelated" message.

Tech Friends,
How to link address entity to new custom entity in MSCRM 2011? I want to do something similar to contact entity which has linked address entity having multiple fields.
The same I want to do for custom entity. Thanks in advance.
The CustomerAddress entity is, frustratingly, locked to further relationships. You will need to create another custom entity to use as Address and link that back to Contact and Account (and hide the built in entity).
