The online doc for Create Entity is incomplete, or there is a bug in Entities

[adriatic]

Going through Create Entity section, after completing the entry, I am asked to save it (went fine) and have a look at the generated JSON file. The view fails with the objection that the "_id" entry in the created JSON file is wrong (it was shown as

  "_id": {
    "$oid": "new"
  },

precisely the same as shown in the book:

Now, I get to see the ID field as '5ab4748ec2ef1674b91283c2' - meaning that somehow in my attempt to restart the JSON creation the app healed itself.

(no need to advise you how to fix this 😏 )

Thanks for catching this. It is necessary to save entities when you are on the form. The save button is no longer visible when you are looking at the JSON.

This will be fixed in the next release.

Cool!
