I understand that 'Relationships' and configurable entities are now part 
of DS Angular 7.2. It seems to be controlled by a new (?) metadata term, 
'dspace.entity.type' , which enabled the ability to edit values under the 
Edit> Relationships tab. This term now seems enabled by default when a new 
item is created.

We are not planning to use this feature in the near future and one of our 
editors mistakenly just entered invalid data into this term while editing 
an item. This changed the item into an undefined entity. The caused the  
item to be uneditable and we could not delete it. It also may have 
corrupted metadata exports at the collection level.

Fortunately, I was able to correctly export Community metadata as a CSV 
spreadsheet. A column for the term 'dspace.entity.type' was defined and I 
was able to find and delete the cell with the bad data. Importing the 
correcting, single row csv fixed my problem for this item and I was then 
able to edit the item and normally export collection metadata.

Question: Can/should I disable the default addition of this term when 
creating a new item? Can someone provide a config file and method to do 
this? We could always enable it later, right?
