Is it possible to enhance an Imported Entity that is "Linked" by adding additional properties/relationships somehow, but still being linked and being able to update the data in the entity and it inserts/updates/deletes back to the SQL table?

I need to be able to have a user in the same list view Add a new record, but using an Idenitty lookup for the user's name, which then I'll have a BPM execute that finds their email address. I then need to be able to update the entity properties but then update the SQL table. Or does linking a database only allow you to use text input properties to update the table data?

    No, that's impossible.

    You need to add properties to the database (alter table) and update the linked entity from the AppWorks UI. You can only relate to a linked entity and not from a linked entity; It's what it is.
