Ignore @Transient properties in constructors

[sunny-chung]

This is a feature request. Currently querying an entity like this would fail:

@Table(name = "chat__channel")
data class ChatChannel(
    val name: String,
    @Transient val creationRequestId: String? = null
) : BaseEntity()

with exception:

java.lang.IllegalStateException: Required property creationRequestId not found for class com.example.entity.ChatChannel
	at org.springframework.data.mapping.PersistentEntity.getRequiredPersistentProperty(PersistentEntity.java:190) ~[spring-data-commons-3.1.2.jar!/:3.1.2]

Although there are many workarounds, it would be better if fields marked @Transient and have a default value in the constructor could be "ignored", so that we do not have to add another constructor to handle this use case.

Constructor arguments map to properties and @Transient is applied from the property declaration. Let me take your request to the team.

[mp911de]

We consider adding support for @Transient properties in constructors. Record components could also be annotated with the @Transient annotation to allow record construction. While this can be useful, we recommend using the @Value annotation to use SpEL expressions to determine a useful value.
