Iteration using another component

I want to use a child component for each record and iterate over it on the main component.  For some reason, the values don't show when I try to use this approach.

If I simply iterate and use the recordEditForm it works fine.  However, once I try to use the second component the values do not show.  Here is my iteration from the primary component:
  
<aura:iteration var="groupstructure" items="{!v.newGroupStructures}">
                  <c:GSCloneRecord groupstructure="{!groupstructure}"/>
            </aura:iteration>

Here is the GSCloneRecord Component.  I am unsure of  how to reference the values in teh groupstructure attribute.  I tried adding value= but that did not seem to work.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!!! thanks!!!!
  
<aura:component implements="force:appHostable,flexipage:availableForAllPageTypes,force:hasRecordId,lightning:isUrlAddressable" controller="GSController">
    <aura:attribute name="groupstructure" type="Group_Structure__c" />
	<!-- Handle component initialization in a client-side controller -->
	<aura:handler name="init" value="{!this}" action="{!c.doInit}"/>

    <lightning:recordEditForm
             
            objectApiName="Group_Structure__c">
            <!-- the messages component is for error messages -->
            <lightning:messages />
  <lightning:layout multipleRows="true" verticalAlign="center" >

Hey,

If the values are part of the record then you can simply pass recordId to the lightning:recordEditForm.
Like so: 
<lightning:recordEditForm
            recordId="{!v.groupstructure.Id}" 
            objectApiName="Group_Structure__c">
That will make recordEditForm load your specified record from your groupstructure. Hope this helps.

Thanks for responding!!!!  So does that mean the groupstructure attribute gets populated from the main component?
