If I was creating an entity with a non-optional string attribute called, say, “name”, I would put “Untitled” as the default. How could I localise this default value?

I could subclass the entity and and use NSLocalizedString in awakeFromInsert to do this. But I was wondering if there was another way.

Edit:

If this is the only way, then I’m fine with it. Just curious.

    You can try using -[NSEntityDescription attributesByName]. This will give you back an NSDictionary of NSAttributeDescription objects. You can then pull the one you want and use -[NSAttributeDescription setDefaultValue:] on it.
