//// go get the 'display' name from the metadata for the property and use that for the logref otherwise we end up with the c#
//// property name (i.e. contentTypeAlias vs ContentTypeAlias). I'm sure there's some webapi way to achieve
//// this by customizing the model metadata but it's not as clear as with MVC which has IMetadataAware attribute
