    Hi,

    Awesome video. Thanks for posting.

    I have a question about adding custom entity to the solution. In the video you created a custom entity in the “Tip of the Day” solution. If I were to create another solution and add this custom entity, would I get prompted to select components or by default all the components for a custom entity are added?

    Thank again,
    Syed

      Hi Syed,

      If you add a previously created custom entity to a solution, you will be prompted for the sub-components. All of the Sub-components will be included by default, but you will have the ability to remove any items that you do not want to include.

      Thanks for watching

    Hi,

    Really interesting video.

    For system entities, having the ability to add sub-component later in the process of the solution creation, would you think that the recommendation would be to load everything as previous version, or try to load a the smallest entity possible with the fewer information that we can, from that default system entity.

    I am trying to see what would be a best practice here.

    Thx
