# validateForInsert()

Determines whether the managed object can be inserted in its current state.

## Declaration

```swift
func validateForInsert() throws
```

## Discussion

Discussion Subclasses should invoke super’s implementation before performing their own validation, and should combine any error returned by super’s implementation with their own (see Managed Object Validation).
