Using inline variables in visual studio

I am currently using Visual Studio 2017 Community Edition and I tried to declare this in my header file:

inline static int counter{1};

Now VS underlines it red and tells me that 'inline' can only be used for functions, although it should be possible since C++17.

Is there a way to still use it in VS or do I have to work around?

As of Nov. 15, 2017, inline variables are scheduled to be supported in Visual Studio 15.5. You can see the "current" status of features here or here .
