Enhancement request to enable a property for CPP_CG::Framework::ReactiveBase only for derived class

I have a base class (MyBaseClass) that has a state chart and contains composition of other classes with state chart. From that, I derived another class MyDerivedClass that generalizes to MyBaseClass. I find that the auto-generated MyDerivedClass::setActiveContext(...) function calls OMReactive::setActiveContext(...) instead of MyBaseClass::setActiveContext(...), meaning any composed instances of the base class would not have the correct active context set.

Specifically,
void MyDerivedClass::setActiveContext(IOxfActive* theActiveContext, bool activeInstance) {
OMReactive::setActiveContext(theActiveContext, activeInstance);
{
xxx
}
}

instead of
void MyDerivedClass::setActiveContext(IOxfActive* theActiveContext, bool activeInstance) {
MyBaseClass::setActiveContext(theActiveContext, activeInstance);
{
xxx
}
}


I found that I would need to override the CPP_CG::Framework::ReactiveBase from OMReactive to MyBaseClass for it to auto-generate code correctly.


But is there a way to do it once and it can work generically, instead of overriding in each derived class individually?
