Hi All,

I am trying to add an object in a to-many relationship and get this error:

-[_NSControllerObjectProxy entity]: unrecognized selector sent to instance <the instance>

The object I'm adding was obtained by using
NSManagedObject *theWord = [wordList selection]
This yields a proxy object instead of an MO. (Does anyone know why?)

If I obtain the object using:
*theWord = [[wordList selectedObjects] objectAtIndex: 0];
then when I try to add the Word to my "relatedWords" relationship to character, I instead get this error.

-[NSManagedObject copyWithZone:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x1adf50

I simply don't see what I've done wrong. Here is the code. Thanks for looking....

 - (IBAction) relateSelectedWordToConstituentCharacters: (id) sender
{
        NSManagedObjectContext *moc = [self managedObjectContext];
        
// NSManagedObject *theWord = [wordList selection]; // PROBLEM HERE (yields proxy object!!! not MO / unclear why) NSManagedObject *theWord = [[wordList selectedObjects] objectAtIndex: 0]; // OR HERE (causes mutable copy error below)
        
        NSManagedObject *charObject;
        NSMutableSet *relatedWords;
        NSString *wordAsString = [theWord valueForKey: @"compound"];
NSMutableArray *constituentChars = getConstituentCharacters(wordAsString);
        BOOL charExists;
        for (NSString *oneChar in constituentChars) {
                charExists = characterExistsInCharacterEntity(oneChar);
                if (!charExists) {
charObject = [NSEntityDescription insertNewObjectForEntityForName: @"Characters" inManagedObjectContext: moc];
                        [charObject setValue: oneChar forKey: @"character"];
                }
                else {
charObject = getCharObject(oneChar); // function to execute the fetch based on the oneChar string
                }
                relatedWords = [charObject mutableSetValueForKey: @"words"];
                [relatedWords addObject: theWord]; // mutable copy error here
                // NEED TO SAVE CHANGES TO MOC HERE ONCE IT WORKS....
        }
}
