I am not sure if there is an alternative; but to me overlading the
constructor sounds perfectly fine. I would be interested in hearing
reasons why not to. I did see the comment posted in the bug and I
personally disagree with the comment:
"2) Do not override model constructors."
I would think there is a good reason why not to do that since that was
the response to your issue. It would be interesting to get more
details and not simply say "Don't do it".
I am glad you figured it out.

Alfredo
