Power Tools: Creating new Entity tied back to a user #7429

I am using the Power Tools extension to generate a new entity. I then went to the new page and created an entity. But to my surprise, this entity appeared for all users. I was expecting it to only be visible to the user who created it. So my question is, how exactly do I do this? What do I need to modify to add the foreign key to the user? The tool generated a lot of files, so it's a bit overwhelming. Thank you!

    Can you explain a bit more?

    As i understand:

    1. You generated a new entity named "x", using power tools.
    2. Run the application and go to the new page.
    3. Create a new "x" on modal.
    4. want the new "x" to be visible to only the user who created it.

    Right?

    That is correct. Each user has its own collection of x'es. For example, todo items. If I create a todo item, I don't want it to be visible to other users.

    It would be nice if there was a checkbox in the power tool to make this automatic, as I can see it being a common requirement. But for now, how and where do I add the dependency to the user in the various generated objects?

    You can make your entity derive from CreationAuditedEntity and use CreatorUserId property as a filter.
