Re: core data structure?

I've made the changes to my model, and the UI for this. I was just wondering how I should achieve the following: (a similar relationship in my app, productss and kits, I had to do the same, add a third inbetween entity)

Previously I summed the price attribute of the item to give me a total, now I have the extra entity and quantities how would I be best doing this.

For example, I have products and kits (in reality), in the datamodel I have products, kit, and kitItems. kitItems have a qty attribute, and relationships to kits and products. For each kit, I want to calculate the total price of the included items (items can also be partial quantities).

Previously I just used the bindings to @sum.price for the arrangedObjects

I didn't really want to save the values as attributes, as I'd like the values to reflect changes to the product prices. I only need to display these in a label onscreen.

Is this what transient attributes are for?

Thanks for your  help,
Amy

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction?

I have 2 entities, product and order. At the moment they are linked with a many to many relationship as an order will have many products, and products may be in more than one order. My issue is that when I link them I cannot link quantities. For example, I may want to order 10 of a product in an order. I figure I need to split out the relationships, so I need a third entity, for example orderItem, which has relationships to both the product and order entities, but also has a quantity attribute.

Am I right here?
