Kevin,
You'll have to say a bit more about how you adapted the example. Do
you create a new MOC and create new objects within it with attributes
copied from the document MOC? Is there a Core Data relationship
between these two new objects? What do you mean by "dependent on
others" and "propogated"? Is there some KVO dependence, or have you
defined keyPathsForValuesAffectingValueForKey: or used the deprecated
setKeys:triggerChangeNotificationsForDependentKey:?

I adapted the examples in the NSPersistentDocument tutorial, and
this works great. The problem I'm having is with some of the state
management because some of the properties are dependent upon
others. I'll try to explain how the relationship works.
Let's say we have 2 objects in the sheet's MOC. When the sheet is
first opened, the selected object of the arrayController is fully
fetched and realized, but the second object hasn't fetched the
values from the MOC yet, so it's values aren't updated with the
first object when I change some of the parameters. If I select each
object first to fetch the properties from the backing-store, then
when I change a value it is immediately propagated as it should. Do
I have to try and access the values programmatically so the objects
become fully realized before I display the sheet? I have the
controller set to automatically prepare content, should I turn that
off and manually perform the fetches?
Thanks for your time,
Kevin

Hi all, have a Core Data document based application which uses
modal sheets as a way for the user to edit the document's data.
What is the best way to give the sheet the ability to operate on a
copy of the data with the parents sheet's undo context? And how
best to merge these changes with the main document context.
I've thought of having a unique MOC for each sheet, and then
posting a custom notification that would in turn cause each MOC to
perform something like:
for (id object in [managedObjectContext registeredObjects]) {
[managedObjectContext refreshObject:object
mergeChanges:YES];
}
Does this way make any sense? Is there a better way to do this
that I'm missing?
Thanks for any pointers!
Kevin
