Today, support for some data types in Common Data Service for Apps is limited or hard to use. Optionset values must be looked up manually on the maker portal, GUIDs are handled through strings that can cause problems in comparisons, and there are time-zone issues with date only and date/time fields.

This feature cleans all that up, adding native support for optionsets and GUIDs and improving the time-zone handling for date/time values.
