Well,
I don't know.
Hans, what you are suggesting is good in general, but in this specific
situation I am not sure.
The reason is that CustRequest is a bad name for the entity (Request
would be more appropriate) because a Request could come from a party
that is not a customer.
Before we commit the patch you are working on I would like to be sure
that we all agree that the name of the entity will not be changed (for
backward compatibility) to a better name sometimes in the short/mid
term.

I would like to ask the community about the following change.
Currently the screens and forms files in the system for the Entity
CustRequest are called RequestForms.xml and RequestScreens.xml
if you work pretty often in this area it still happens pretty
frequently
that i cannot find them because the name is not the same as the
entity.
I have a patch here which will rename all these files and put them
together in the widget directory in all the components. No functional
change.
For new systems no problem, the system is still working fine....
however....
If you upgrade existing systems with a special component in hot-deploy
which uses these files, these references have to change too.
What is the opinion of other users...rename these files and make
life on
the current system easier but make upgrading more difficult...
or do not rename?
