Thanks Chuck,
You answer kind of scares me... I was hoping for something more
positive.
Unfortunately we cannot revert the editing context, too many objects
get created and related during the life of the session. The relations
are also getting more complex as the site matures and their creation
depends on the state of too many other entities, we do frequent trips
to the database to ensure data integrity.
I know many people create temporary structures to hold this type of
information and then create the objects upon the final commit, but I
cannot see a way to do this easily here.
Surely we cannot be the only one's in no-mans-land?

If nothing else needs to be retained, a call to revert() should do the
trick. Otherwise you are probably deep in "undefined" territory. I
don't
recall having ever seen this documented. I try to design my apps so
that I
can just discard the ec to handle things like this.

Hi,
How does one correctly remove/forget/discard/kill/obliterate a new,
uncommitted EO from an editing context? The EOEditingContext methods
seem to be designed for EOs that have already been committed to the
database.
I have never been able to find the correct way to do this without
resorting to a combination of calls to EC forgetObject(...) and
deleteObject(...), removal of any references through relationships,
etc... and every now and then end up creating the EO with nulled
relationships anyway in the database when saving the ec.
It all seems like a bit of black magic to me.
