## Entity `create` methods
Because we need to have empty constructors in our entity classes for TypeORM to work, the actual constructor is a separate `create` method. These methods should adhere to these guidelines:
- Only require the non-optional properties of the corresponding entity
- Have no optional parameters
- Have no lists which can be empty (so probably most of them)
- Should either return a complete and fully useable instance or return a Pick/Omit type.
- Exceptions to these rules are allowed, if they are mentioned in the method documentation
