Entity Framework Core 1.0 CurrentValues.SetValues() does not exist

Question

I'm attempting to update an entity and its related child entities using Entity Framework Core 1.0 RC 1, where the entities are detached from DbContext. I've done this previously using a solution similar to the one described in this answer.

However, it seems that we are no longer able to do the following using Entity Framework 7:

DbContext.Entry(existingPhoneNumber).CurrentValues.SetValues();

Visual Studio complains that:

EntityEntry does not contain a definition for 'CurrentValues' etc...

I presume this means that this has not (yet?) been implemented for EF Core 1.0? Apart from manually updating the properties, is there any other solution?

As you have noticed, this API is not implemented yet in EF Core. See this work item: https://github.com/aspnet/EntityFramework/issues/1200
