Currently the Fieldset populate() method only populates values for a single Model. but if it has related Models it won't populate those fields .

$form = \Fieldset::factory('report')->add_model('Pages\Model_Report')->populate($page, true);

Model_Page
-- id
-- user_id
-- section
-- title
-- content Model_Report
-- id
-- page_id
-- assigned_id
-- report_link

Model_Page::query()->where('id', $id)->where('section', 'report')->related('report')->get_one();

Model_Page is related to Model_Report in one-to-one. The form has inputs for both tables, and right now only the field values for Model_Page only get populated. Right now I'm just doing:

$form = \Fieldset::factory('report')->add_model('Pages\Model_Report')->populate($page, true)->populate($page->report, true);

But i think there must be some other way of handling populating forms for related models.
