Hi All, (quiet list last 2 days?)

As we know this EOAttribute.validateValue(...) gets called before custom eo validate<AttributeName> methods and it uses the class description to validate and/or do basic conversion. What are the alternatives to find an elegant way to call my custom validate first or is there none?

Why do I want to do this? I am importing text data from CSV files and pushing the text values into attributes in an efficient way, however I can easily handle conversion of YES/NO, T/F, Y/N, Y/null or TRUE/ FALSE strings to Boolean in my custom validate<BooleanAttribute> methods, but of course EOF gets a shot at it first when I iterate through the imported values calling eo.validateTakeValueForKeyPath (aValue, aKey);

I have an alternative in mind, but just wanted to check with the smart folks first .... any suggestions?

I am thinking overriding validateValueForKey in ERXEntityClassDescription is also a possibility ..... any others?

Regards, Kieran
