I check into that and retry it with this example.
Currently I am using Agent++ 3.5.23, but I haven't seen any difference in
the MibTable::set_value() implementation in newer versions.

My concrete MibTable is just derived from Agentpp::MibTable with
a constructor to add the MIB columns, plain and simple.
In addition, I am using an SNMP subagent via AgentX.
But that should not make any difference in my opinion.

I get back to you when I have more results.

Thanks,
Jens Engel
