Ah, ok, this is more like what i wanted to hear! :) I understand how @dynamic works, but how to I get to funnel all calls to @dynamic properties to the same call such as setValue:forKey: or something like that where i can parse the key and update my internal data and set the flags i need to set.

thx

Ok, thats what i thought. But just for implementation ideas, how does CoreData know when one of it's @dynamic properties is changed? It must set some sort of flag somewhere in order to know what to write out when it needs to save. How does it handle that?

@dynamic properties are assigned implementations on the fly at runtime. NSManagedObject's implementation of the setter method includes setting the dirty flag, I suppose.

So actually my "no" wasn't strictly true. You can track changes to arbitrary dynamic properties, including those defined in subclasses, because they all funnel through a common implementation.
