Description
Rob Winch opened DATACMNS-396 and commented
The Repository Populators are limitted due to the fact that they cannot reference other domain objects. For example, if I have the following:
class Message {
@OneToOne
private User user;
// ...
}
There is no way to import a Message that contains a User
