following up on this posting by [~mbrohl] https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-7622?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15372940#comment-15372940

The decision on 'do we want this'? should never be the first question answered. There is a difference between what a business needs and what contributor(s) wants for the project.

The rationale (or pre-amble) is that the business requirements of the adopting companies can vary from company to company (even within one industry sector) due to e.g. varying legal aspects.

Then the first question should be: can we facilitate those adopters with more flexibility regarding the aspect of - in the case of OFBIZ-7611 - tracking fields. After that question, the next follow up question would be: 'how would that solution be? in order to find a solution that is acceptable by the greater OFBiz community.

And then comes the ultimate question that each individual contributor has to answer for himself: do I want to spent my time on this matter to help the fellow contributor to bring the accepted solution direction to a successful incorporation in the code base and enhance the appeal of the product and the project.

> This issue follows up on comments posted in the  OFBIZ-7622 sub-task.
> Currently the fields to be added to all entities are defined in ModelEntity.java. This is a limited list consisting of:
> * public static final String STAMP_FIELD = "lastUpdatedStamp";
> * public static final String STAMP_TX_FIELD = "lastUpdatedTxStamp";
> * public static final String CREATE_STAMP_FIELD = "createdStamp";
> * public static final String CREATE_STAMP_TX_FIELD = "createdTxStamp";
> After the implemented code change of the sub task mentioned above, a new discussion evolved through postings of comments on the subject of how to get more flexibility in.
> This issue is a starting point and potentially a place holder for sub subtasks to get to a more flexible solution.
