Why do I get NIL when passing a CoreData entity object to another view?

Question

This one is testing my patience, I simply want to pass a Coredata entity object to another view, but when I pass it on the sheet I get nil!!!

process:

1. save the entity object into a state var
2. pass the state var to a sheet modal

has anybody experienced this error? how did you fix it? do CData needs some special treatment?

writing some more stuff because stackoverflow doesn't let me post this question if I don't have enough text

Answer 1

i changed my sheet to as suggested by Vadian and it worked. what the heck!

            .sheet(item: self.$taskToEdit, content: { taskToEdit in
                itemDetail(taskItem: taskToEdit, textFieldText: taskToEdit.detail ?? "")
            })
