Related to this:
- Add the enumTypeId to the entity definition for the field
<field name="locationTypeEnumId" enum-type="FACLOC_TYPE" ...
Also,
- Make userLoginId an ID that isn't changed, add a field for "name" that can be
updated
- Condense credit card name fields (first, middle, last, prefix, suffix, etc.)
into a single "nameOnCard"
