Jira issue originally created by user naroga:

Adding items to the owning side of a bidirectional relationship should be enough to set the items' relationship to its owner. Instead, as of now we still have to manually set both sides, be it on the entity itself or on your controller/service code.

Example:

$owning->addObject($inverse);

Doctrine should execute $inverse->setOwner($owning) when flushing $owning. Right now we have to run $owning->addObject($inverse) and $inverse->setOwner($owning) manually, which makes no sense, since Owner entity is configured to cascade persist operations.
