Thanks Ikai, I've been using mapreduce for a long time and have never seen properties added to our own entities like that. I'll take a look and see what it's being used for so I understand it better and if this side-effect is documented anywhere since it is strange and a little disconcerting to see unknown properties popping up on your own entities. Thanks, Steve
