Hello,

Just digging up this 2.5 year old thread...

I'm doing this in a model to expose the PK, as described.  I have a D2W 
application that creates a new entity and saves it.  Returning to the list 
page, the derived attribute shows _no value_ (the accessor returns null), even 
though the saved row is visible in the database, and obviously has a primary 
key.  Logging out and back in does not fix this, though an app restart 
does—clearly not ideal for production.

Is this expected, and thus should I be looking at modelling it some other way?  
(As an aside, last time I looked at this was a few months ago, and I swear it 
was behaving properly then—i.e., that the derived attribute was immediately 
visible.)  Or have I more likely botched something?
