I used core data to make a one to many relationship where the scenario of my application is to display the members for the respected team. Both teams and members are added dynamically.
The issue occurs while storing the data at the member part. The data is getting stored but it won't get displayed in the table view. where I get this error.
data: {
memberDesignation = "";
memberImage = nil;
memberName = bbgbb;
teams = nil;
}) returned nil value for section name key path 'Teams.teams'. Object will be placed in unnamed section
I have done even a silly mistake as I'm new to core data. I can't figure it out what I'm doing wrong. I will show what I have done, rectify me what I did wrong. Please manipulate my code and give me the answer, no logical or random answers 'coz I don't have enough time to try out every possibilities.Help is very much appreciated, thanks in advance.

I'm very much confused at, how to add the members with respect to the teams?! How could i resolve this? For a better understanding about the scenario you could refer to this question Can I add an NSManagedObject to the selected parent object just using Interface Builder and Core Data? and also you could refer to this https://github.com/pbasdf/DemoMasterDetail which is exactly how I would like my app to produce the output.
member.members = currentTeam– Hobbema
