PropertyPath/PersistentProperty and Property Registration appending "-9XaHgsA"-like suffix to field names, causing "org.springframework.data.mapping.PropertyReferenceException"

This is for postgresql.
I've got an Entity that looks like this:

@Table("entity_type")
data class EntityType(
    @Id var id: UUID? = null,
    val entityTypeName: Name, // A string value class
    val systemSchemaVersion: SchemaVersion, // another string value class
)

And a table that looks like this:

    CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS entity_type (
    id                      uuid PRIMARY KEY DEFAULT uuid_generate_v4(),
    entity_type_name                    character varying NOT NULL,
    system_schema_version   character varying NOT NULL,

and accompanying interface:

interface EntityTypeRepository : CrudRepository<EntityType, EntityTypeIdType> {
    fun <S: EntityType> save(entity: S): EntityType
    fun findByEntityTypeName(entityTypeName: Name): EntityType?

I get this:

Caused by: org.springframework.data.mapping.PropertyReferenceException: No property 'entityTypeName-9XaHgsA' found for type 'RuleType'

Why on EARTH is it appending "9XaHgsA" to the field/column name? It does this across ALL columns except the ID column.

Note that i'm using value classes, but that doesn't seem to cause a problem - they're automatically getting translated to strings as expected.

Also, note that this process goes through with the normal names first - I've stepped through in debugger - but then starts appending the 7 digit suffix for some reason second go-around.

That's an excellent question. Short answer: Take a look at your Kotlin inline class byte code with a bytecode analyzer. Long answer: #1947

@mp911de Thanks so much for getting back to me! I ended up digging into java-reflect and java-beans to try to figure out how that code got generated, and it's definitely there, not in your project, so you're absolutely right to close this down. I'm a new kotlin/java developer, though I'm quite experienced in Scala. This has been a fascinating learning experience about Java, bytecode, and reflection.

Again, I'm so touched you responded so quickly. Thank you! You're amazing!
