Is there a efficient way to update entities without manually setting every field ? In repositories we update fields the following way:
```      Entity[id].apply {
      	updatedField = "test123"
      }       ```
But this is a bit tedious if the objects are very large and/or contain lists. Is there a method that detects the changes between two objects (the entity object and an updated version of the object) and updates the entity accordingly?

`Exposed` has its own checks, the main thing is that the correct `equals` are defined

i.e. you should just set the values. Alas, there is no automatic mapping. You can look at the libraries

if the names match, then you can use reflection
