Artёm Basov ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?accountId=557058%... ) *updated* an issue Hibernate ORM ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HHH?atlOrigin=eyJpIjoiYzRlODFmNTAy... ) / Bug ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HHH-15480?atlOrigin=eyJpIjoiYzRlOD... ) HHH-15480 ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HHH-15480?atlOrigin=eyJpIjoiYzRlOD... ) Merging of ModWorkUnit with CollectionChangeWorkUnit followed by another ModWorkUnit leads to lost modified flags ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HHH-15480?atlOrigin=eyJpIjoiYzRlOD... ) Change By: Artёm Basov ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?accountId=557058%... ) This is, in a sense, a combination of [HHH-7918|https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HHH-7918] and [HHH-7948|https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HHH-7948]. Steps: # Tx1: Create {{ListRefEdEntity}} # Tx2: ## Fetch {{ListRefEdEntity}} created at (1) ## Create and persist {{ListRefIngEntity}} associated with {{ListRefEdEntity}} fetched at (a) ## Change its data , associate with {{ListRefIngEntity}} ## Flush ## Change its data again This will lead to 2nd revision of {{ListRefEdEntity}} with {{reffering_mod=false}} See a [PR|https://github.com/hibernate/hibernate-orm/pull/5253] for a test case. We’ve caught this in {{5.4.32}}, but since test case fails on {{main}}, I’m assuming it affects every version since {{5.4.32}} The way I see the problem is that by discarding both {{CollectionChangeWorkUnit}} and {{ModWorkUnit#data}} that contain calculated {{*_MOD}} flags, we are relying on the difference between {{oldState}} and {{newState}}, but debug shows that both states already contain added {{ListRefIngEntity}}, so comparing those gives us {{false}}. From what I see, {{FlushEntityEvent}} is created with the entities state from {{PersistentContext}} and it differs from what it is in DB. If we can’t rely on the difference between the states, I guess our only option is to store {{CollectionChangeWorkUnits}} inside {{ModWorkUnit}} and apply those right before execution. Am I wrong or missing something?
