I need to add a single one line value to the HarvestMap.lua that I read first thing when the mod loads. I need to get a boolean value right away first thing.

Harvest.nodes = ZO_SavedVars:NewAccountWide("Harvest_SavedVars", 2, "nodes", { data = {} } )
    if Harvest.settings.account then 
        Harvest.settings = ZO_SavedVars:NewAccountWide("Harvest_SavedVars", 1, "settings",
        {{{{ A bunch of stuf here }}}}
    }
    else
        Harvest.settings = ZO_SavedVars:New("Harvest_SavedVars", 1, "settings",
        {{{{ A bunch of stuf here }}}}
    }
    end

That is what loads so I get an exception because Lua does not know what the value of Harvest.settings.account is. Harvest settings account is defined with LAM.

LAM:AddHeader(panelID, "HarvestSettingsHeader", "Account Wide Settings")
 
    LAM:AddCheckbox(panelID, "HarvestMapSettings", "Account Wide Settings", "Enable account Wide Settings",
        function()
            return Harvest.settings.account
        end,
        function( value )
            Harvest.settings.account = value
            ReloadUI()
        end,
    false, nil)

Side question: did I define that correctly with LAM so that the UI Will reload ONLY when a player changes the value?

So what I was looking for was how to have it be something like this:

???? Harvest.settings.account = ZO_SavedVars:NewAccountWide("Harvest_SavedVars", 1, "accountWideBool", accountWideBool )  {{----The line I want to add ----}}
Harvest.nodes = ZO_SavedVars:NewAccountWide("Harvest_SavedVars", 2, "nodes", { data = {} } )
    if Harvest.settings.account then 
        Harvest.settings = ZO_SavedVars:NewAccountWide("Harvest_SavedVars", 1, "settings",
        {{{{ A bunch of stuf here }}}}
    }
    else
        Harvest.settings = ZO_SavedVars:New("Harvest_SavedVars", 1, "settings",
        {{{{ A bunch of stuf here }}}}
    }
    end

If I don't put any lines that will cause an exception, with LAM the boolean setting will be written to the settings file as "["account"] = false," so I know it will be there at some point. However, I want to get that value, but, if it's not there I want the default to be false. Naturally I can change the AddCheckbox routine in lam to have a different value, like Harvest.accountWidePrefs. I just don't know what to change it to so that it gets the setting right away and doesn't cause an exception.

What is the proper syntax?
