If you use either Inverse Object Properties or Unidirectional Object Property, the following items will be created: 

  • When a property’s type does not have a name, “unnamed property” will be used as the property’s name.

  • When a property’s type has a name, the name will be written in lower-case letters and recognized with “has" (with a space after). For example, if the property’s type name is “Boss Deck”, it will be converted to “has boss deck”.
