[Coldbox 3.8.1] - Populate Model and FlashRAM?

Hi,

I have a model object that I want to populate via series of wizard like steps.

On step 1 right now in my handler I have: session.objCustomer = populateModel(‘Customer’); this creates a new model object in the session scope, it’s empty at this point.

I’m trying to take the user through a series of steps and use populateModel() along the way. When I try it though it seems to overwrite the model object each time a form is submitted on a given step.

Do I need to use FlashRam to do this or is there a way to update an existing model object with keys from the RC scope?

Thanks for any info provided…
