  Incorrect Mapping: There may be an issue with the mapping of the data model to the OData service, where the key property is not correctly defined or mapped.

  Regenerate the Service: After making changes to the entity definitions, regenerate the OData service to ensure that the changes are applied. This can be done in the Service Builder by selecting the service and choosing the "Generate" option.
  Check Annotations: Ensure that the annotations for the entity types are correctly set, particularly for key properties.
  Test the Service: After making the necessary changes, test the OData service to confirm that the error has been resolved.
