How large is "a large number of objects"? What you probably need to do is revisit the relationship since you shouldn't be using oneToMany in situations where there are a large number of objects. Use manyToOne.
But you can override the configure() method in the Decorator. From the documentation: Setting up values in the Decorator configure()<http://docs.transfer-orm.com/html/transferapi/transfer/com/TransferDecorator.html#configure%28%29>on the TransferDecorator will be run when the object is first created. You can overwrite this when you implement your own Decorator CFC, and is a perfect place to set default values for your Transfer Object. It should be noted that configure() is run *before* the object is populated, and therefore, any values it sets will be overwritten by those retrieved from the database. You might also look at using the Transfer Proxies for this relationship instead of the real objects.
