When calling a lambda within an ORM entity, the lambda’s this scope and variables scope refer to an unpopulated entity. i.e. it is impossible to reference entity properties within a closure, even after setting the property on the entity beforehand.

Take this code:

when run without ORM population involved, we get the name back: "Michael".

But when run as an ORM entity, the name is always NULL:

See the attached .zip file test case, or screenshots comparing behavior between Lucee and ACF. (ACF outputs "Michael" property value in both the native component test and the ORM entity test.)
