I have a planning entity called TaskAssignment that has two genuine planning variables namely : TaskStartTime and AssignedCrewMember. I have another planning entity called CrewMember that contains only an inverse relation shadow variable : TaskAssignmentList that contains the list of TaskAssignment entities that are assigned this particular CrewMember. I currently have this inverse relation shadow variable referenced to the AssignedCrewMember planning variable in the TaskAssignment planning entity.
My question is : Are the entities in TaskAssignmentList just copies of the original entities ? Or Does the entity get updated even if only the TaskStartTime variable is changed by Optaplanner. I am asking this because the source variable of this Inverse Relation shadow variable is only AssignedCrewMember. Please help me understand this.
