Here is what I did to solve this issue. Don't know is this the best way to complete it.
Code:
if(!self.bandObject || self.bandObject.name.length == 0)
{
self.bandObject.name = self.nameTextField.text;
}
I inserted this just before the original
Code:
if(!self.bandObject || self.bandObject.name.length == 0)
Hope that helps.
