Clever! Thanks for the suggestion.

This kind of approach is probably best unless you can base your superclass on NSManagedObject, which does this automatically. But, as you find, there is some difficulty. I would have a pseudo-flag, say "hasBeenModified", and implement +keyPathsForValuesAffectingHasBeenModified:. In -hasBeenModified simply set the flag KVO-compliantly. You mat want to check the flag to avoid unnecessary KVO calls.


HTH.

Andre Masse <mailto:email@hidden> December 14, 2011 08:29 Hi,

I have a superclass which has a "modified" BOOL property and a bunch of subclasses based on it. When any property is changed, I need to set this flag to YES. I can either write a setter for all properties and set this flag there, or observe all properties and set the flag in -observeValueForKeyPath. Both approach involve a lot of boilerplate coding (some subclasses have 20+ properties).

I thought about using -keyPathsForValuesAffectingModified: but I don't see how I can set a flag using this.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Andre Masse
