Question

Existing data & new inheritance

1

When I have for example an entity Person and already does have data. When I Inherite Person from account. The creation of the inherited objects account and User is managed, BUT... the default values of the user attributes Blocke, Active, WSUser & IsAno aren't set (NoTranslation). Is this a choice made in the development of the modeler ( if so, please explain), or may I file a bug ;)

It isn't that I can't adjust the values, it can be done with a simple conversion microflow. But we can model easy with mendix, without worrying about a lot of technical coding, so I expect when deploying a lot is handled under the hood for me. And inheritance etc is one of them.

But I understand that this is handled in the 3.0 release?

The options to preserve data when changing inheritance is limited. You should either migrate to Mendix 3.0 which has far better support for those situations, or juggle a bit with SQL yourself.
