In that case, try this:
Create a category on NSManagedObject -
@interface NSManagedObject (ObjectAsDictionary)
- (NSDictionary *) objectAsDictionary;
@end
@implementation NSManagedObject (ObjectAsDictionary)
- (NSDictionary *) objectAsDictionary
{
NSDictionary *dictionary = [NSMutableDictionary dictionary];
NSEntityDescription* entityDescription = [self entity] ;
for (NSPropertyDescription *propertyDescription in entityDescription)
{
id propertyValue = [self valueForKey:[propertyDescription name]];
[dictionary setValue:propertyValue forKey:[propertyDescription name]];
}
return dictionary;
}
@end
Then simply call the following code on the original managed object when :
{
// assume an NSDictionary *editingWord property declared in your controller
class
editingValues = [editingWord objectAsDictionary];
// set object controller content to be editingValues
...
}
... then after the edits have been made, use the following code to update the
object to be stored:
{
//assume your object to be stored is called originalObject
[originalObject setValuesForKeysWithDictionary:self.editingValues];
...
}

I speak French if that helps? :-)
