1,774 PointsA bit confused on Core data between view controllers
Hello everyone,
I am a bit confused on how exactly you are able to verify that data saved is saved to the correct attribute in core data. For example, i have an entity Name that has an attribute of name. Once a name is created and saved in core data, i append it to an array as well. I then use the array to populate a tableview. Now what i am confused about is when an item in the tableview is selected it takes you to a screen where i want user inputted data to be saved under that selected name in core data. I did set up relationships in my core data model, i am just not sure how to pass the currently selected name to the next VC. My guess is i will have to use preparforsegue, i am just not sure how exactly to implement it in this situation with core data.
Example is i choose the name "john" from my tableview, it segues me to the information input screen, how do i know the data entered will be saved the name john and not another name in core data?
any help is appreciated
