Hi Gustavo,

It looks like you want your predicate to cross a "to-many" relation.  Is that 
right?  If so, you need to create a predicate that has an 
NSComparisonPredicateModifier that knows how to cross to-many relations (that 
is, either NSAllPredicateModifier or NSAnyPredicateModifier).

If you're using NSPredicateEditor to create the predicate, then the RowTemplate 
has to know to create a predicate with the right modifier.  Unfortunately you 
cannot yet set that up in IB, but you can do it programmatically, by passing 
the right NSComparisonPredicateModifier to one of the initWith... methods on 
NSPredicateEditorRowTemplate (see its header).

You can also subclass NSPredicateEditorRowTemplate and override 
-predicateWithSubpredicates: to create an NSPredicate with the proper modifier.

Hope that helps, let me know if that's not clear,
-Peter
