well.. that's embarrassing... actually the "problem" is that i had overloaded "onElementAdded" method.. and put: @service.recent_inherit! entity now i send a new attribute, then it becomes: if entity.definition.get_attribute 'dynamic_attributes', 'imported_entity' @service.recent_inherit! entity end sorry about that and thanks for your time. cheers.

In your examples, "loaded_module" is a "loaded_component_definition". module is a ruby keyword, and a block of code that forms a namespace. Thanks, I'll be careful next time. I'm confusing about module because we use the same term to determine the "master entity" of our projects to our clients.
