Spring Data Neo4j implement relationship entity with @RelationshipProperties and @TargetNode

A relationship with properties does not point towards both entities anymore but is a directed relationship. We do not make any assumptions if the TargetNode is an end or a start node. This is defined in the relationship-defining class.
Assuming the RelationshipValue is used in Decision and this should get connected to Characteristic, you would define something like:

@RelationshipProperties
public class RelationshipValue {

    @Id
    @GeneratedValue
    private Long graphId;

    @TargetNode
    private Characteristic characteristic;

and in Decision

public class Decision {

    @Relationship("HAS_VALUE_ON") // direction can be OUTGOING (default) or INCOMING
    private RelationshipValue relationshipValue;
}
