They provide the metadata for the odata service entity type.. check and uncheck for some of them and check the odata service metadata "....._srv/$metadata"

But the "Nullable" property has a bit more importance, for example: if you have a date type property and if the data is not returned for that property, system will throw an error. So if you select, nullable, the system will understand that the date type property can be a null value and will not throw an error.

I add: they should be flagged according to the flow and scenario implemented.

If you provide filters on some fields, for example, mark only those fields for "filter"

Hi Kiran Kumar reddy pesala,

Mainly used for these Property that particular Entity is used for creating a record in database or Updating data in database for easily understand UI people.

Nullable => indicates whether the type can be set to null

Select this checkbox if you want to allow null to be entered for this data object at runtime.

Example :edm.datatime
