17,793 PointsArrays in Cord data
I currently have a Swift 3 app that is using core data. What I would like to do is store an Array like list of strings. For example if a user clicks a button I want "yes" to be appended to the Array.
I know how to do this with an array and everything works fine, however what I need to do is store that array in core data. I did a little looking and it seems that this can be done with relationships. I was hoping that someone could point me in the direction of a good resource/ tutorial as how to actually implement this.
I have a list view each with an element. What I want is each element to have that "Array" of strings related to it. Any Help would be much appreciated

It is possible to store the data as an array by making the Core Data type 'Transformable' then in the Attributes section under Custom Class type Array<Any>. Now the core data attribute is essentially treated as an array, I would bet this works for dictionaries as well. Note: there is no relationship tables and this solution will store an Array in core data
