Back links as RLMResults or RLMArray

[AnthonyMDev]

If my whole project is set up to be manipulating data based on RLMArray and RLMResults, I need to be able to manipulate back linked objects from an inverse relationship as well. It seems very counter-intuitive to me to have the linkingObjectsOfClass: forProperty: method return an NSArray.

This is causing me problems in how I am able to work with the data I'm receiving from this query. Is there a way to convert this into RLMResults?

Hi @AnthonyMDev, we totally agree it would be great to represent backlinks as RLMResults, but unfortunately there's some infrastructure we need to get into place for that to be possible.

Okay, so this isn't just an odd design decision, but a current limitation? Makes sense. Thanks

@AnthonyMDev yup! As soon as we have support in Core for this, we'll change backlinks to return an RLMResults.

This will be done as part of #1324, so I'm closing this as a duplicate.
