MR_saveToPersistentStoreAndWait not saving data from array


I've an NSArray in which I'm adding objects after user selects multiple rows from a tableview. After selecting user press confirm and it saves the data. So based on some example I found here I have implemented the code but it seems as it is only saving one value at a time. The last value that user selects:

- (IBAction)confirmPressed:(id)sender {
    NSLog(@"Selected Are: %@ - %@",selectedDX,selectedDesc);
    for (NSString *code in selectedDX) {
        if (!_dxToAddEdit) {
            self.dxToAddEdit = [Diagnoses MR_createEntity];
        }

        [self.dxToAddEdit setCode:code];
        [self.dxToAddEdit setCodeDescription:@"Sample Description"];
        [self.dxToAddEdit setSuperBill:_forSuperBill];

        [[NSManagedObjectContext MR_defaultContext] MR_saveToPersistentStoreAndWait];
}
    [self.navigationController popViewControllerAnimated:YES];

}

Solution

  • You are working only with one managed object self.dxToAddEdit. And it will contain the last code from array. If you want to save multiple objects you should do the following:

    NSManagedObjectContext *defaultContext = [NSManagedObjectContext MR_defaultContext];
    for (NSString *code in selectedDX) {
        Diagnoses *newDiagnose = [Diagnoses MR_createEntityInContext:defaultContext];
    
        newDiagnose.code = code;
        newDiagnose.codeDescription = @"Sample Description";
        newDiagnose.superBill = _forSuperBill;
    }
    
    // Save recently created objects to persistent store.
    [defaultContext MR_saveToPersistentStoreAndWait];
