Makes sense, to use init() but how to safely handle the authenticated user?
I see there's a clazz setup used in BugTracker which seems to set a currentUser() which I'm guessing is a safe way to access the authenticated user (if I set it somewhere) and locally set an author or assignee relationship and otherwise get info from the current user. I see this clazz setup in the bug tracker eo templates, but I don't have those on my EREOs and don't know where they come from. I'm try to follow that code through, but maybe if someone has a basic explanation that would be great.
