On the whole I'm very happy to have the name plural-izer you provide, I'd go crazy trying to correct all those entities and relationships.

That being said, there is a situation that it doesn't handle correctly. I'd normally chalk it up to the oddities of English, but I think this will show up often. I have a ContractStatus and a Contract table/entity, and the obvious Contract.ContractStatus property. The name plural-izer insists on "singular-izing" Contract.ContractStatus to ContractStatu.

For the time being I'm just correcting the spelling after each run of the name plural-izer, I get help from the compiler when I forget. Is there something that can be done about this? (In the Classic product you had a "AutoUpdate Name" flag.)

That sounds like an irritating problem.  I've opened a bug report so we can do "something" to address this.  Thanks for the feedback.
