No, it's a simple 'to many' property in my own model, not using Core Data. If 
it's trivial I can't find the solution - I have tried many things hinted at by 
the predicates guide. I am tired having worked a 14 hour day and counting, so 
perhaps I just need a rest to see the wood for the trees...

I have a list of objects. Each object has a 'categories' property, which is 
another 'to many' property, i.e. a list. Each category has a simple 'name' 
property.

I desire to match a string I enter to any of the categories.name strings in the 
list using equals, begins with, ends with, contains. I'm setting up the 
predicate editor in IB, but I can't see any way to use the aggregating 
predicate syntax anywhere there and when I attempt it I get a runtime error 
(e.g. no value for key 'ANY categories').

Perhaps it's a limitation of IB that more complex predicate editor row 
templates are not available?
