I was going through https://www.hackingwithswift.com/articles/263/build-your-first-app-with-swiftui-and-swiftdata and have a question: it is creating a new Person object every time a user hits the + button. What do I do if the user hits + by accident and wants to back out? How can I let the main view know that the user came back by clicking a cancel button instead of a save button?

When the user taps a "Cancel" button you can have a method that modelContext.delete(person)

PS you will need to disable the "Back" Button from the navigation bar and maybe a "Done" back to dismiss the View which can have a disable if the name.isEmpty

That makes sense, thanks! Is there also a way to implement a kind of callback to the view that triggered the EditPersonView to appear and to pass some data back? Just wondering if that might come in handy one day.

A common approach is to have the same object in the primary view and the detail view.

So when you change a person object in the detail, you don't need to "pass some data back." There is only one object and it is shared between the two views.

Keep Coding!
