Answer 1

By default grails doesn't create the fields in views for transient properties. You could manually add them on each view or if you have a lot of them and are using the scaffolded views you could do the following:

Install the view templates:

grails InstallTemplates

Then open the relevant templates in src/templates/scaffolding

and modify the line that reads:

persistentPropNames = domainClass.persistentProperties*.name

to

persistentPropNames = domainClass.properties*.name

for each of the templates. This is a bit of a bodge, but it should work and you can further edit the template to include/exclude any properties you like.
