[Closed] Mapped Superclass forces duplication of id field to make associations work on extended class

Question

Applies to ZF2/Doctrine 2 Annotations:

Reproduce:
- Create base class with primary key id field
- Create class extending from base class using Mapped Superclass type
- Try to create association in the extending class

Results:
The editor will not display any association fields because the primary key is defined and inherited from the base class. Now it would be required to re-create the the id field in the extended class, however cause "Duplicate definition of column 'id' on entity".

Expected:
Skipper should be able to see the inherited primary key field and allow it to be selected as an association key field.

Workaround:
Current workaround is to remove the id field from the base class, however it defeats the purpose.

Comments

Thanks for posting. We're aware of this issue and we have a plans implement more sophisticated inheritancenm

I also have this problem, my workaround is to add id to the inheriting class. Only the id on the mapped superclass is exported.
