Editing an item of the main data list is added instead of adding

In My To-Do app already added and removed (from master data). It worked great. My problem is that my attempt to add an edit is not working.

Behavior

I coded it so that if the user deletes the task in the table, it sets the path, title and pointer description to the variables and passes them to the modal ViewController for editing. A modal view is presented and then the passed variables populate the text boxes. The user can then edit the existing content and click "Save", which executes some save code (I'll explain below). The modal view is rejected, the table data is reloaded, and the cell appears only where it was before, but with updated content. IT ALL WORKS. The malfunction occurs when you close / completely disable the application and reopen it. The original task is suddenly reverted, but the modified copy is added to the bottom of the list.

Question

Why is my code doing this and how can I get the edited title and description to save and load correctly?

Information

My main data file name: CD_Model My object name: TodayTask My attribute names: 1) "name" 2) "desc"

code

I've included a lot of my code in case the error is somewhere I don't expect. However, I have added bold to the titles of two snippets that I think are causing problems. The error is only detected when starting viewDidLoad (first code snippet below). But an error can happen in the last snippet, the save function.

Imports and Global Variables:

import UIKit
import CoreData

var todayTaskList = [NSManagedObject]()
var passingEdit = false

      

        
        
        
      

    

Declaration and viewDidLoad of the main VC that contains the table:

class ViewController: UIViewController, UITableViewDataSource, UITableViewDelegate {
//***** ----- ***** ------ ***** ----- ***** ----- *****
//Initial Setup
//***** ----- ***** ------ ***** ----- ***** ----- *****

@IBOutlet weak var tableView: UITableView!

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    // Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.

    //This loads the list from Core Data
    //1
    let appDelegate = UIApplication.sharedApplication().delegate as! AppDelegate
    let managedContext = appDelegate.managedObjectContext!

    //2
    let fetchRequest = NSFetchRequest(entityName:"TodayTask")

    //3
    var error: NSError?
    let fetchedResults = managedContext.executeFetchRequest(fetchRequest, error: &error) as? [NSManagedObject]

    if let results = fetchedResults {
        todayTaskList = results
    } else {
        println("Could not fetch \(error), \(error!.userInfo)")
    }

    //This provides a variable height for each row
    tableView.rowHeight = UITableViewAutomaticDimension
    tableView.estimatedRowHeight = 80.0
}

      

        
        
        
      

    

Code to create the table:

//***** ----- ***** ------ ***** ----- ***** ----- *****
//Table View & Cell Setup
//***** ----- ***** ------ ***** ----- ***** ----- *****
@IBOutlet weak var name_Label: UILabel!
@IBOutlet weak var desc_Label: UILabel!

//Tells the table how many rows it should render
//*Looks to the Core Data NSObject to count tasks
func tableView(tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
    return todayTaskList.count
}

//Creates the individual cells. If the above function returns 3, this runs 3 times
func tableView(tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {

    //Setup variables
    let cellIdentifier = "BasicCell"
    let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier(cellIdentifier, forIndexPath: indexPath) as! CustomTableViewCell
    let task = todayTaskList[indexPath.row]

    //Create table cell with values from Core Data attribute lists
    cell.nameLabel!.text = task.valueForKey("name") as? String
    cell.descLabel!.text = task.valueForKey("desc") as? String

    //Make sure the row heights adjust properly
    tableView.rowHeight = UITableViewAutomaticDimension
    tableView.estimatedRowHeight = 80.0

    return cell
}

      

        
        
        
      

    

Executing code while executing an existing task:

//***** ----- ***** ------ ***** ----- ***** ----- *****
//Functions
//***** ----- ***** ------ ***** ----- ***** ----- *****

//Action: Edit list item on row tap
func tableView(tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) {

    passingEdit = true

    performSegueWithIdentifier("modalToEditor", sender: nil)
}

override func prepareForSegue(segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: AnyObject?) {
    if (segue.identifier == "modalToEditor") && passingEdit == true {

        //Assign selection to a variable 'currentCell'
        let indexPath = tableView.indexPathForSelectedRow();
        let currentCell = tableView.cellForRowAtIndexPath(indexPath!) as! CustomTableViewCell;

        //Set cell text into variables to pass to editor
        var cellNameForEdit = currentCell.nameLabel!.text
        var cellDescForEdit = currentCell.descLabel.text

        //Pass values to EditorView
        var editorVC = segue.destinationViewController as! EditorView;
        editorVC.namePassed = cellNameForEdit
        editorVC.descPassed = cellDescForEdit
        editorVC.indexOfTap = indexPath


    }
}

      

        
        
        
      

    

VC modal editor declaration, variables passed from main VC are set:

class EditorView: UIViewController, UITextFieldDelegate {

//Declare outlets and vars
@IBOutlet var txtTask: UITextField!
@IBOutlet var txtDesc: UITextView!
@IBOutlet weak var addSave: UIButton!
@IBOutlet weak var cancel: UIButton!

var namePassed: String!
var descPassed: String!
var indexOfTap: NSIndexPath!

//Initial Functions
override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()

    self.txtTask.becomeFirstResponder()

    if passingEdit == true {
        txtTask.text = namePassed
        txtDesc.text = descPassed
        addSave.setTitle("Save", forState: UIControlState.Normal)
    }
    else {
        addSave.setTitle("Add", forState: UIControlState.Normal)
    }
}

      

        
        
        
      

    

The function starts when the save button is pressed:

func modRec(nameValue: String, descValue: String, indexPos: NSIndexPath) {

    //1
    let appDelegate = UIApplication.sharedApplication().delegate as! AppDelegate
    let managedContext = appDelegate.managedObjectContext!

    //2
    let entity =  NSEntityDescription.entityForName("TodayTask", inManagedObjectContext: managedContext)
    let todayTask = NSManagedObject(entity: entity!, insertIntoManagedObjectContext:managedContext)

    //3
    todayTask.setValue(nameValue, forKey: "name")
    todayTask.setValue(descValue, forKey: "desc")

    //4
    var error: NSError?
    if !managedContext.save(&error) {
        println("Could not save \(error), \(error?.userInfo)")
    }
    //5
    todayTaskList[indexPos.row] = todayTask
    managedContext.save(nil)


}
