Need to check.
In a coffee expression plugin tag or a regular COFFEE tag I have a Userdata.
Thing is, if I try to set it to a value (like current frame as in the
included code) it doesn't update the Userdata if "inside" a BaseContainer
call and the basecontainer is a constant variable.
I can print the Userdata from "within" the bc and it's correct,
but not actually set the correct value of the Userdata.
Setting the Userdata before or after the bc is ok.

Should this be considered normal? To me it looks inconsistent
(Since it prints)

The problem with your code is that you directly access the user data with the # operator but at the end of your code you overwrite the container again. Since the user data are stored in the container as well you overwrite the user data. I recommend to only use the # operator or to put the var bc = op- >GetContainer(); line after you have accessed the user data.
