Importing entities into the Domain Model from an OData consumed service does not work properly.

[acarum]

Once you have imported the Entities from the https://services.odata.org/V4/TripPinServiceRW/$metadata service in the Domain Mode there are some errors

• Attribute '_Id' has max length 'unlimited' which is not the same as max length in the OData service which is '36'.
• Key cannot be empty
• 'Person' is marked Creatable=True in the OData service, but False in the app.
• Attribute 'UserName' of external entity 'Person' is not supported.
• 'Airport' is marked supports $top=True in the OData service, but False in the app.
• Key cannot be empty
• External entity 'PublicTransportations' is no longer readable in the OData service
