There are a couple of potential problems to look out for: - there may be situations where the datasource can't be overridden or isn't supported properly. Which is something that we should fix (and will if someone points them out) - but that won't really help you right now - fields like objectid, datetimecreated, etc are required for all the default CRUD operations
Some possible approaches that we've used for similar problems: - a custom type that corresponds to a database view - a form component for edit UI but all DB interactions are done manually - a custom type that overrides all of the CRUD methods (createData, setData, delete, etc) - you could do this type by type, or create an abstract type and extend it A form component may be your best bet.
