Originally created by @doctrinebot on GitHub (Feb 17, 2010).

Jira issue originally created by user nicokaiser:

When I try to create an association entity for a ManyToMany association (e.g. Users, Groups and an associating Membership entity that holds some more properties than just userId and groupId), I use cascade={"persist"} in the @OneToMany annotations for Users and Groups.

Membership also has Lifecycle callbacks (e.g. for setting an "updated" property). Now when I add the Membership object to the User and Group objects, its Lifecycle callbacks are called more than one time, and when it's called the second time, all properties but the ones set by the callback function are unset.

$membership = new \Entity\Membership;
$membership->Group = $group;
$membership->User = $user;

$user->Memberships->add($membership);  // $membership is persisted once
$group->Memberships->add($membership); // $membership is persieted a second time

$em->flush();

Maybe this is related to DDC-74?

Should be fixed now, was a state issue. Thanks for the full example, that made it easy to create a test case.
