Re: Single Table Inheritance with Embeddable object

Hey all,
this error is still happening on the version 4.2.M2.
It is currently not possible to include an Embeddable property into both the base and child class within an inherited relationship.
If you use the Modeler, the mentioned "Embeddable Attribute 'X' has incorrect DBAttribute mapping" error pops up.
If you directly change the map.xml, you get an error "ObjAttribute 'X' does not have a corresponding DbAttribute" (base class) or "Unable to resolve path: .Field1" (child class).
In my case, I want to add an embeddable object to the child object.
Is there any known solution or workaround for this?

To use an embeddable object without inheritance relationship works out of the box.

Kind regards,
Maria
