Prestashop 1.7 discourages overrides, but how do I add new fields to objects without overrides?

[zunxunz]

I need to add multiple custom db fields, to multiple objects, that should be accessible through the ORM.

If I should not do this by using overrides, then how should I accomplish this in Prestashop 1.7+?

Depends on your application. Maybe you only think that you need the fields accessible through the ORM, while it can also be avoided.

Thank you for  your reply, but please assume that I'm a pro-developer and have dev experience with Prestashop for over 10 years, and that the question that I asked is exactly what I need to know.

The Prestashop documentation claims that overrides should be avoided in PS1.7+, yet, there is no documentation to be found how to add custom fields to objects that can be accessed through the ORM.

So, how would I accomplish this without overrriding the base code?

You can't.
