So I followed the directions here for SC.Configuration.publish: https://developers.suitecommerce.com/bootstrap-important-data-at-application-load.html I couldn't figure out why I wasn't getting anywhere. It looks like

shopping.environment.ssp

is calling

Configuration.get().publish

to pull the array of publish models. I changed to

Configuration.publish

and now it's working. Not sure if this is a bug or if I'm bastardizing the code. 🤔
