Guys! I always used :  public String toString {return someattribute;}  in the entities. That allows to display a human-readable string representation of a drop down object instead of its Java reference!
In some lazy cases, I did as Claudia did. But that's too much modification if you have tons of entities....

Wouldn't adding toString method be a fix for this bug? (The Entity generation plugin should pick the ID field and the first following field as String representation for the toString method). no?

> 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.
