Primary Key
ProtectedcopyCopies initialization data from a plain object to the class instance. Only copies properties that already exist on the class to prevent creating new fields. Special handling for DefaultValue fields to extract actual values from SQL Server syntax.
The initialization data object
Default JSON serialization for BaseInfo subclasses.
Emits all non-underscored direct field declarations. For _-prefixed private backing fields
(the MJ pattern for collection storage — e.g. _Fields, _RelatedEntities, _OrganicKeys),
emits the value of the corresponding same-named public getter instead. Purely computed getters
without a backing field (display-name formatters, derived flags) are intentionally skipped —
they can throw when source fields are null and don't belong on the wire anyway.
A _-backed getter that throws is omitted from the output rather than aborting the whole
serialization. That omission is safe ONLY because such getters are recomputable: the backing
field is a lazy cache over other serialized state (e.g. QueryInfo.CategoryPath over CategoryID),
so the value is rebuilt on the next access after a warm boot. Do not add a _-backed getter
whose value cannot be recomputed from the serialized fields — a throw would silently drop it.
Nested BaseInfo instances and arrays of them unwrap automatically via JSON.stringify's native toJSON() protocol.
Subclasses may override to emit a filtered subset or custom shape (see EntityFieldValueInfo).
Stores entity-specific configuration settings. Allows customization of how entities function within the system.
