thanks for the response. Adding the property is straight forward. The key parts that are not clear to me are:

1) how exactly do you set up a predicate to walk an extra entity to get to the target entity.
Loook at the documentation of NSPredicate
You do not "set the target entity" as a preidate. A predicate is something liike a pattern, i.e. "color = blue". This can apply to the entity cars and to to the entity jeans.

The fetch request gets the entity, to whom the predicate is applied.

2) how do you specify the destination entity. pass it to [NSFetchRequest setEntity:] and pass that fetch request to [NSFetchedPropertyDescription setFetchRequest:]? I would assume in my example that my destination entity is the story.
NSEntityDescrition* entity = [NSEntityDescription entiityForName:@"story" inManagedObjectContext:/*you know*/];

Cheers

Create an NSFetechedPropertyDescription by setting up a fetch request in code, then add the property using the setProperties method of NSEntityDescription. It is only possible to edit an NSEntityDescription if you are not associated with a persistent store coordinator, so be careful. You might want to just add a custom method to the class of your Core Data model to execute the fetch request and get the job done.

greetings!


I'm trying to figure out how to dynamically (in code) set up a fetched property with a Coredata in-memory store. The documentation is not detailed enough for me to quite see what the correct way to set the code up is and I'm not finding much in the way of useful sample code when searching on NSFetchedPropertyDescription.

What is the correct way to programmatically add a fetched property to the box to get the list of stories for a given box managed object?
