Question about flash scope and relocate in ColdBox

In the docs I see `flash.persistRC` <https://coldbox.ortusbooks.com/digging-deeper/flash-ram/using-flash-ram#persistrc>

```flash.persistRC(include="name,email,address");
relocate('wizard.step2');```

The default behaviour of flash scope is to inflate into the rc scope on the next request. (flash.inflateToRC setting)

In the above scenario I've always done it as `relocate(event='wizard.step2', persist="name,email,address")`

Which approach is the recommended "box" way and why? Thanks :)

I think I'm going to switch to using `flash` because:
• flash gives a bit more flexibility
• flash can inflate to private scope - I often stick validation results in there so nice to separate rc (which can come from the client) vs prc (which is trusted)
• relocate is probably doing too much (SRP) - but is convenient!

Would still like opinions though :slightly_smiling_face:

Flash scope is the preferred way as it is the central authority. The relocations are just shortcuts. So in reality both are ok. But flash has more features

Thanks - have switched to flash scope but always nice to know that I'm following best practice :slightly_smiling_face:

Also note that flash can be stored ultimately in many storages. Or you could build a custom storage
