I like t= hat in Wonder when you create an EO all the to-many relationships are initia= lized to an empty array because it means that I don=E2=80=99t have to worry a= bout null checking every time I access the to-many relationship in order to a= void NullPointerExceptions.

However, if I cre= ate my EO by copying an existing one using ERXCopyable then any to-many rela= tionships that have ERXCopyable.CopyType set to Nullify will be set to null. <= /span>

Wouldn=E2=80=99t it be better to set them to an e= mpty array? Or should we have an Emptify option?

Thanks
