NSManagedObject properties set to nil return 0

I know this is probably by design but I thought I'd check with the community first.

How come when I have an NSManagedObject that's new, its NSNumber properties return 0? I want them to be nil til they've been set.

Did you just forget to uncheck the default value option?
The NSManagedObject will return nil for that attribute if default is unchecked and the attribute was never set. At least that's what happens in my app.

It is a NSNumber behavior. Once it is created but not assigned a value, it is set to 0.

Hope that helps
