describe page: a data container over an association prints the association name as its context, not the entity it reaches #1571
The expected output is (Shop.Customer) and (Shop.OrderLine), the entities the associations reach. The same happens for a gallery and a data grid over an association, and from the other side of the association: a list view from the Customer side prints (Shop.Order_Customer) instead of (Shop.Order).
Why it matters
The page works. But the comment tells a human or an agent reading describe that the nested widgets bind an entity named after the association, so anything that resolves attributes against the context looks up the wrong element.
Cause
dataSourceEntityContext (cmd_pages_describe_flowcontext.go) says that "for a database or association source the datasource reference is the entity". That's true for a database source. For an association source, the reference is the association's name. The flow-source case was fixed the same way in 6e59e0e. The stored source already carries the destination (EntityRef.Steps[last].DestinationEntity), which is what alter page's entityFromEntityRef reads.
Summary:
The describe page command shows the association name instead of the target entity for data containers that source from an association.
