Passing PickerView selected value to prior view

If someone could help me out I would be very appreciative.

I have a view with a UItextView on it that when touched will push a new view with a PickerView on it which is designed to set the value of the original textbox, sort of acting as a drop down box.

What I am currently trying to do is this:

on view with pickerview, I have a strong property NSString called PickerViewValue.

on that view, on PicerView didSelectRow, I am setting a property on that viewcontroller = to the pickerView selected row value

On the original view, before I push, I am setting a local variable to the property on the view i am about to push to.

Then, on the original view, in viewWillAppear I am trying to set the text of the text box to the local variable I set.

It's not working, is there a way to do this?

 

In the view with the pickerView, yes, it is correct in debugger.

In the view I am trying to get it into, it's null, it's not coming over through the pointer that I tried to set.
