I can import top level object with method:
[MagicalRecord saveWithBlock:^(NSManagedObjectContext *localContext) {
if ([responseObject isKindOfClass:[NSArray class]]) {
[Entry importFromArray:responseObject inContext:localContext];
}
}];
However, the second level (inside array entry_recording_activities) doesn't import. I've declared entries in data model file. The top level object named "Entry". You can see from the image.
The second level object is as follow:
The relatedByAttribute and relationships are set also. So how can I import data to many entries (from top level to lower level object)?

Answer 1

Click on the activities property. Under your relatedByAttribute, add 'mappedKeyName', and add the nested path. In this case, entry_recording_activities.
The basic problem is you've defined how to auto-connect the data, but have not told the import library where the data is relative to the start of the import.
