When building my app, I am getting an error with two entity classes. It's basically saying it cannot find the setter for the constructors I am giving. Originally I had vals, I converted these to vars and that seems to fix the issue.
But I don't like this fix... The documentation uses vals in their examples of how to build entities. So why does it not work for certain entities I define? I feel like the coding I'm doing is going to be prone to some sort of error because I am only bandaging the problem rather than actually fixing it.

I also don't understand why I can inherit a val and change it to a var in a child class in Kotlin. That also seems to make the code work, changing the val to var in the entity class, but leaving it as a val in the interface.
