Adding an Attribute to a View Object Instance at Runtime

Most view attributes are part of the view object definition. However, at runtime, you can also add transient view attributes to a particular view object instance. These view attributes, called dynamic view attributes, will not affect other instances of the same view object.

To add an attribute to a view object instance at runtime:

Call addDynamicAttribute() on the view object instance, passing in a name for the attribute. For example, to add an attribute called "TempAttr" to a view object instance mgrVO , you would use the following code:
```
AttributeDef tempAttrDef = mgrVO.addDynamicAttribute("TempAttr");                
```
This both adds the attribute and returns the attribute definition. For more information, see the related topics list.
