Thanks.  I figured there was nothing built to do exactly what I
needed, but I figured I would ask.

Do you know if there is much overhead if I implemented this in my EO
superclass even if there were no observers?

EOF makes heavy use of notification. I would not expect there to be much overhead. You will probably want to qualify the notification with the EC (depending on what it is you are trying to do) to limit the number of observers. And then keep the method receiving the notification fast. The notifications are synchronous, so you don't want anything slow in this method.

also, if you are using wonder, check out
hasKeyChangedFromCommittedSnapshot in ERXGenericRecord. maybe listen
for the notification mentioned by chuck, then use
hasKeyChangedFromCommittedSnapshot to check the particular key you are
looking at.

Is there a way for a controller object to listen for changes to an EO

Thanks,

EOEditingContext has ObjectsChangedInEditingContextNotification, but it is
on an object by object basis, not a key by key one.

You could implement this in your EO super class.
