hi,
"what KMT said." wait for Swift 2.0.
for what it's worth, perhaps the functionality of View thing > Edit thing could be redesigned into a single View?
i have a simple project that i put out in public (while i am still learning SwiftUI and have no real idea where it will lead) where i have joined these functionalities. there is also a button in the combined View/Edit thing that deletes the object and returns to the list of things.
it uses CoreData for persistence -- which means that some things are a little magical because of the use of @FetchRequest and the fact that CoreData objects are already ObservableObjects -- but the concept is right, i think.
look at h ttps://github.com/DelawareMathGuy/ShoppingList.
***added as an after-thought. your Edit thing could return to your View thing, with edits showing in some obvious fashion, which could then prominently display a "save the changes you made to this View thing" before going back up the navigation stack to your List of things?
hope that helps,
DMG
