---------------------------------

    Fix Version/s: 1.3.3.Final
                       (was: 1.x Future)
       Resolution: Done


Pushed upstream: https://github.com/forge/core/commit/065e3161858eb804174dfcb525e313eb02c73a89

The selectOneMenu widgets are generated with labels whenever these happen to be lookups on other entities. The behavior of depending on toString() is done away with, since this is not dependable as demonstrated here. 

Additionally, due to Metawidget limitations, it is not possible to determine whether a toString() method is defined on an entity, and then adjust the generated widget. Hence, we now generate labels containing the primary keys of the other side of the relationship.

This is also done for the search results when a reference to another entity is displayed, and also when a link is displayed to another entity in the view screen.

> For a table with a foreign key the UI permits to select the possible values, but this values are listed in a dropdown menu in a form like "org.forgetest.model.Entity at 5f9ba38e" (would be preferable that the string present be relative to the PK referenced)
> Anyway, after setting this field and submitting the form, the data are inserted in the table correctly but when i want to modify the record, the UI doesn't show the setted value for the foreign key and i must set it again before saving.
