I think it only happens for Codable properties. In the following example, b is not persisted, but c is. struct C: Codable { var value: Int } @Model class Item { var a = 0 @Attribute(.ephemeral) var b = 0 @Attribute(.ephemeral) var c = C(value: 0) init() { } } struct ContentView: View { @Query var items: [Item] @Environment(\.modelContext) var modelContext var body: some View { List { Section { Button("add") { modelContext.insert(Item()) } } Section { ForEach(items) { item in VStack(alignment: .leading) { HStack { Text("a = \(item.a)") Button("inc") { item.a += 1 } } HStack { Text("b = \(item.b)") Button("inc") { item.b += 1 } } HStack { Text(verbatim: "c = \(item.c)") Button("inc") { item.c.value += 1 } } } .buttonStyle(.borderedProminent) } } } } } There's also a behavior that seems stranger. Whenever the app goes to background, b is reset to zero.

I've observed this too (iOS 18.7.2 and 26.2). Looks like @Attribute(.ephemeral) does nothing and the property is annotated with @_PersistedProperty as any other property and SwiftData.Schema.Attribute(.ephemeral) metadata has no effect.

I’m experiencing the same problem. Have you found a solution?

I think my solid color image was a bad example because it works fine with just resizable() 😅 But a picture would be distorted without scaledToFill(). I've found another solution using an alignment value of background that is opposed to the ignored edges: .background(alignment: .bottom) { Image(.background) .resizable() .ignoresSafeArea(edges: .top) .scaledToFill() }

I was able to achieve the same behavior by changing the anchor of scrollPosition(_:anchor:) to match scrollTo(id:anchor:) before calling: struct ContentView: View { @State private var position = ScrollPosition(edge: .top) @State private var anchor: UnitPoint? var body: some View { NavigationStack { ScrollView { VStack(spacing: 8) { ForEach(1..<100) { index in Text(verbatim: index.formatted()) .frame(maxWidth: .infinity) .background(.gray) .id(index) } } } .scrollPosition($position, anchor: anchor) .toolbar { ToolbarItemGroup(placement: .bottomBar) { Spacer() Button("50 (T)") { anchor = .top withAnimation { position.scrollTo(id: 50, anchor: .top) } } Button("50 (B)") { anchor = .bottom withAnimation { position.scrollTo(id: 50, anchor: .bottom) } } Spacer() } } } } }

BTW, That's still a problem 😬

FWIW It's a quite simple app slightly modified from the Xcode template for CoreData + CloudKit project. struct FeedbackContentView: View { @Environment(\.managedObjectContext) private var context @FetchRequest private var items: FetchedResults<Item> var body: some View { NavigationStack { List { ForEach(items) { item in let creator = CoreDataStack.shared.container.record(for: item.objectID)?.creatorUserRecordID?.recordName VStack(alignment: .leading) { Text(item.timestamp!.formatted()) Text("Mine") .foregroundStyle(.secondary) .opacity(creator == "__defaultOwner__" ? 1 : 0) Text("Can Edit? \(CoreDataStack.shared.container.canUpdateRecord(forManagedObjectWith: item.objectID))") // Always `true` } } } } } }
