How does doodles popluate the createdby and editedby fields as I can't see where this is happening.

I thought maybe this auto happened via the modObjectCreateProcessor but can't seem to get them to populate if I match the schema to doodles.

Note i'm initially creating CMP using bxrextra generator for yoeman which doesn't created to those fields. So i'm amending the relevant files files to include them.

Given up trying to suss out how this is getting auto populated within doodles example so i'm just setting within the create and update processors. In case it helps anyone else here's what i've added.

$this->object->set('editedby',$this->modx->user->get('id'));

$this->object->set('createdby',$this->modx->user->get('id'));

Doodle has extended the xPDOObject below model/doodles/doodle.class.php

public function save($cacheFlag = null) {
        /* set createdon/editedon */
        $now = new DateTime();
        $type = $this->isNew() ? 'created' : 'edited';
        $this->set($type.'on',$now->format('Y-m-d h:i:s'));
        if ($this->xpdo instanceof modX && $this->xpdo->user) {
            $this->set($type.'by',$this->xpdo->user->get('id'));
        }

        return parent :: save($cacheFlag);
    }
