How to transfer fetched Results from CoreData managedContext to a backgroundContext

Hello:

I have successfully fetched data from an entity in my CoreData store "SCQ". I am able to use the data with all properties. Now I want to move that fetched data to a backgroundContext and save it to a new entity in the CoreData store "TempSCQ". When I try to save no data is available.

Any help will be appreciated.

Here is my code:

guardlet appDelegate = NSApplication.shared.delegate as? AppDelegate  else {
       
                       return
                }
       
              //     print ("Step Four")
        _ = appDelegate.persistentContainer.viewContext
       
        let fetchRequest = NSFetchRequest(entityName: "SCQ")
        fetchRequest.returnsObjectsAsFaults = false
       
        // And Predicate
       
        let predicate1 = NSPredicate(format: "grade = %@",nameGrade)
        let predicate2 = NSPredicate(format: "qid = %i", count)
       
        fetchRequest.predicate = NSCompoundPredicate(andPredicateWithSubpredicates: [predicate1,predicate2])
       
       
          do {
                   
            items =  try managedContext.fetch(fetchRequest)
            print ("Records fetched is \(count)" )
            print ("selected grade is \(nameGrade)")
            print ("Number is \(count)")
            print ("Group Name is \(nameGroup)")
           
                } catch let error as NSError {
                   
                    print("Could not fetch. \(error), \(error.userInfo)")
                }

    let backgroundContext = persistentContainer.newBackgroundContext ()
//   var saveItems = NSEntityDescription.insertNewObject(forEntityName: "SCQ", into: backgroundContext)
       
    persistentContainer.viewContext.automaticallyMergesChangesFromParent = true
           
    let entity = NSEntityDescription.entity(forEntityName: "TempSCQ", in: backgroundContext)!
       
        let component = NSManagedObject(entity: entity, insertInto: backgroundContext)
        for item in items {
            if let record = item.value(forKey: "answer") as? String {
            answerItem.append(record)
        }
            if let record = item.value(forKey: "difficultyLevel") as? String {
                difficultyLevelItem.append(record)
            }
            if let record = item.value(forKey: "dictractor1") as? String {
                 distractor1Item.append(record)
             }
            if let record = item.value(forKey: "dictractor2") as? String {
                 distractor2Item.append(record)
             }
            if let record = item.value(forKey: "dictractor3") as? String {
                 distractor3Item.append(record)
             }
            if let record = item.value(forKey: "dictractor4") as? String {
                 distractor4Item.append(record)
               
            }
            if let record = item.value(forKey: "dictractor5") as? String {
                distractor5Item.append(record)
            }
            if let record = item.value(forKey: "grade") as? String {
                gradeItem.append(record)
            }
            if let record = item.value(forKey: "id") as? String {
                idItem.append(record)
            }
            if let record = item.value(forKey: "qid") as? String {
                qidItem.append(record)
            }
            if let record = item.value(forKey: "question") as? String {
                questionItem.append(record)
            }
            if let record = item.value(forKey: "qValue") as? String {
                qValueItem.append(record)
            }
            if let record = item.value(forKey: "skill") as? String {
                skillItem.append(record)
            }
            if let record = item.value(forKey: "subject") as? String {
                subjectItem.append(record)
            }
            if let record = item.value(forKey: "topic") as? String {
                topicItem.append(record)
            }
                    do
                    {
                        try backgroundContext.save()
                        items.append (component)
                        print("saved")
                    }
                    catch
                    {
                       
            }
           
}
