What is the intended behavior of the include option when using model.build?

The documentation does not clearly explain what is supposed to happen when you perform:

myModel = await MyModel.build(data, { include: [MyOtherModel] });

My expectation was that the myOtherModel property would be populated at the time of calling build() (since the myOtherModelId foreign key is definitely in the database), but from looking at the object in the debugger, this does not appear to be the case.

My desire is to be able to build an object then be able to get the value of myModel.myOtherModel.id, but since myOtherModel is undefined, this doesn’t work.

Is there any way to get myOtherModel to populate without having to save the model? (I do not want to save the model unless a particular condition is met.)

As far as I know this is still an issue.

Yea… I didn’t know that either 😛
