Issue 4362: Inconsistent pattern of getting and setting OrgEntity data from subclasses (osf-ftf)
Source: Adaptive (Mr. Pete Rivett, pete.rivett(at)adaptive.com)
Nature: Revision
Severity: Minor
Summary: :  There are non-consistent ways of getting/setting the same information.  For instance,  Person inherits from OrgEntity and therefore it will inherit OrgEntity::get_org_entity_data.  However Person also has OrgPerson::get_person_data, which returns a struct PersonData which again contains OrgEntityData. Having obtained a struct one cannot then do anything with it - one has to unpack it to update the property values and call a separate mutator for each (not necessarily bad, but inconsistent).
