New to objective-c xcode and core-data so sorry for the remedial question.

I have set up a very simple data model:

Entity1 and Entity2, both contain a single attribute (String) and a one-to-many relationship with the other.

I want to scan Entity1 and depending on the results of the scan create one or more Entity2 objects that link to Entity1.

How can I do this? I don’t understand how I create Entity2 type objects in code and how I would define the relationship to the Entity1 object they are related to.

I come from a SQL programming background where inserting elements into the Entity2 table with the ID of the related Entiry1 entry is easy. I can’t get my head around the xcode core-data abstraction and would appreciate any help.

What I know is that I need to have a "displayOrder" attribute in my Entity to track the order of items… >>> More
