    Retrieval of associated FunctionalLocationClass entity (one to one). This corresponds to the OData navigation property to_Class.
    If the navigation property to_Class of a queried Characteristic is operated lazily, an ODataException can be thrown in case of an OData query error.
    Please note: Lazy loading of OData entity associations is the process of asynchronous retrieval and persisting of items from a navigation property. If a lazy property is requested by the application for the first time and it has not yet been loaded, an OData query will be run in order to load the missing information and its result will get cached for future invocations.
    
    Returns:
    
    List of associated FunctionalLocationClass entity.

    Retrieval of associated FunctionalLocationClass entity (one to one). This corresponds to the OData navigation property to_Class.
    If the navigation property for an entity Characteristic has not been resolved yet, this method will not query further information. Instead its Option result state will be empty.
    
    Returns:
    
    If the information for navigation property to_Class is already loaded, the result will contain the FunctionalLocationClass entity. If not, an Option with result state empty is returned.
  - setClassObjects
```
public void setClassObjects(FunctionalLocationClass value)

    Overwrites the associated FunctionalLocationClass entity for the loaded navigation property to_Class.
    
    Parameters:
    
    value - New FunctionalLocationClass entity.

public List<Value> fetchValue()
                                throws com.sap.cloud.sdk.odatav2.connectivity.ODataException
```
    Fetches the Value entities (one to many) associated with this entity. This corresponds to the OData navigation property to_Value.
    Please note: This method will not cache or persist the query results.
    
    Returns:
    
    List containing one or more associated Value entities. If no entities are associated then an empty list is returned.
    
    Throws:

```
    Retrieval of associated Value entities (one to many). This corresponds to the OData navigation property to_Value.
    If the navigation property to_Value of a queried Characteristic is operated lazily, an ODataException can be thrown in case of an OData query error.
    Please note: Lazy loading of OData entity associations is the process of asynchronous retrieval and persisting of items from a navigation property. If a lazy property is requested by the application for the first time and it has not yet been loaded, an OData query will be run in order to load the missing information and its result will get cached for future invocations.
    
    Returns:

    Overwrites the list of associated Value entities for the loaded navigation property to_Value.

    Parameters:
    
    value - List of Value entities.
  - addValue
```
public void addValue(Value... entity)
```
    Adds elements to the list of associated Value entities. This corresponds to the OData navigation property to_Value.
    If the navigation property to_Value of a queried Characteristic is operated lazily, an ODataException can be thrown in case of an OData query error.
