property TransactionModel: TTransactionModel read FtransactionModel write

...
end;How to store additional info
There were two suggestions about the place for the property attributes:
- RTTI. Advantage - easier access from application. Disadvantage - bigger final executable.
- PPU. Advantage - info will not be added to executable. Disadvantage - more complicated way of accessing data.
As a result of the discussion PPU storage has been selected.
