Just messing around with X2O today and I noticed that you can inadvertently add entities as defined-types pretty easily. Once you mark an entity as a defined type, any new entity you add will have that check box checked by default, so if you aren't careful you will be adding those entities as defined types. This doesn't really hurt anything but is probably not what most data models need, so be sure to set that flag properly when you are adding entities, it will simplify and clean up your code and data model.

Just to be sure everyone understands what marking an entity as a defined type does, here's a link to the documentation on the topic:

http://docs.x2oframework.com/?section=p7_2

We're going to clean up this little bug (or is it a feature?) and make it so the check box is off by default each time you add an entity on a future update for X2O. Just wanted to give a heads up in the meantime.
