10/26/2017, 9:02 PMIs there any way to get an annotation onto a field in a data class such that when I do ThatDataClass::theField, I can call findAnnotation<Annotation>() on the KProperty and get the Annotation back? I am having trouble doing that, after doing @field:Annotation val theField.

@Annotation val theFields
