global variable initialization creates duplicate instances when referring to other global variables

entity User{
  name : String
  password : Secret
}

var alice := User{
  name := "alice"
  password := "test"
}

entity Document{
  title : String
  text : String
  author : User
}

var d0 := Document{
  title := "First Document"
  text := "This is the first text."
  author := alice
}

results in two User instances

workaround, initialize data with init block:

var alice:User  //can also be moved into init if it doesn't need global reference
init{
  alice :=User{
    name := "alice"
    password := ("test" as Secret).digest()
  }.save();
 
  Document{
    title := "First Document"
    text := "This is the first text."
    author := alice
  }.save();
}
