I have modified the code of Logon.h to have an extra method to set the password. Now, generateLogon method of session is creates a Logon message. It doesn't set the password field. I can modify that code also and make it set the password. However, I am wondering if there is a mechanism by which I don't have to modify the code but just give it some sort of a dictionary to say here the fields that should be populated for a given message.

This is considered "application logic" code, thus it is not built in QuickFIX.
