How to use EnvironmentObject to initialize State Property in SwiftUI?

I am having a small Issue with initializing a State with Data from an EnvironmentObject.

@EnvironmentObject var settings: Settings
    
@State var localAllowReminders: Bool
    
init() {
    self._localAllowReminders = State(initialValue: settings.allowReminders)
}

Obviously, I get the following Error Message: 'self' used before all stored properties are initialized.

Question: How can I initialize a State with Data out of a EnvironmentObject?

Thanks for your help.

EnvironmentObject is injected after view constructor call, so you have to initialize state to some default and reset it to desired value in top body view onAppear modifier, like

@EnvironmentObject var settings: Settings
@State var localAllowReminders: Bool = false   // << just any default
    
var body: some View {
    VStack {       // << any top view
        // ...
    }
    .onAppear {
       self.localAllowReminders = settings.allowReminders   // << here !!
    }
}
