Hi,
There are no errors because the value gets map to the instance’s « abc ».
It could be a property with setters / getters that process the value and fill
some of the model’s field (or the other way around). For example, you could
have a write only property « password » that takes a password, hash/salt it and
sets it to the hashed_password field. It could also be some reporting computed
live for a read only property.
Regards,
Xavier.
