Question

Why does this not work in ColdFusion with ORM? I don’t get any error but getval2() is blank

property name="ID"  type="string"    fieldtype="id" generator="guid";
property name="val1"    type="string"     ormtype="string"  persistent=true;

property name="val2"    type="any"      persistent=false    default="";

 public statsEntity function init(){

    variables.val2= this.getval1();

  return Super.init();
}

what I think should happen is getval2() should be the value of val1.

Any ideas why this is not the case?

ORMExecuteQuery(“from myTable”)

Not sure I understand correctly, but init() only runs on new enitity so will NOT work here try postLoad() not init().
