I realize that there is some inheritance/hierarchy witchcraft that is stopping my code from compiling properly (undeclared identifier). I have tried many snippets of code that are supposed to create attributes, but they only work inside the cookmysop function. So, how can I create an attribute outside cookmysop() that is at the same time accessible by the cookmysop function and avoids inheritance problems?

Thanks in advance.

That is not allowed.

Hi edward, Stalkerx777 replied* in odforum that is possible. I'm confused.

Of course, you can always forcefully do it like cast away const-ness but that will just cause bad things down the line.
