Jira issue originally created by user zagloo:

I have a problem with a Preflush() method.

When I valid my form, my form return to me the values that expected but they are not persisted into the database in the case where I create a new Entity.

to a better understand for you, all files that I'm using are in this Gist :
https://gist.github.com/zagloo/1eaedffc2f479686d98f

I have 2 Entities :

«First_» with fields named «field1» and «_field2»
«Other_» with fields named «field3» and «_field4»

These 2 Entities have these relation between them :

«**First_» have OneToMany_ with «Other»
«**Other_» have ManyToOne_ with «First»

Then I my controller TestController, I create a form with «FirstType_» and «_OtherType» and render it in test_preflush,html,twig

Feature of my form : I'm using a custom textarea named «**textarea_test_» thanks to a TestType_ which using a Transformer TestTranformer.

This Transformer allows to transform a *PersistCollection* in a String and conversely with the reverseTransform.

In the Transformer **TestTranformer_, public function transform($value) method concatenate each field3_ from Other Entity in

tag.

Vsual example :

Database for «First» Entity
!https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/8613226/8109975/fece771a-1059-11e5-9660-eb5d10b511ca.png!

Database for «Other» Entity
!https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/8613226/8109983/09b3beb0-105a-11e5-95c9-f7b741e8ed7d.png!

The render in twig of the form with the transformer :
!https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/8613226/8109988/0f6b1f7e-105a-11e5-9df0-ceae54c0bfd3.png!

Until here, no problem, I have what I expected, a textarea with a concatenation of field3 !

Then, if I modify a value, no problem, the *PreFluch()* contained at the end of «First» Entity works.
-> value of *field3* for the first entity Other is changed by "toto" in database and returned right in my twig form !

/****
*@ORM\PreFlush()
*/

public function testPreFlush()
{
    $this->Others->first()->setField3('toto');
}

Database for «Other» Entity
!https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/8613226/8110399/594e9056-105c-11e5-964f-3c73e1121f7f.png!

The render in twig of the form with the transformer :
!https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/8613226/8110397/570743ce-105c-11e5-8906-c693d527bf0b.png!

Now, here is my PROBLEM !
I delete all in my textarea and add a new *

* with an ID and a new value like NEW VALUE

!https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/8613226/8110833/9e0639f4-105e-11e5-9d75-a64ffb035544.png!

Normally, my *Reversetransformer* create a new Other() and set value into it. (see TestTransformer Gist from the line 55).

But when I valid the form, in return, in my twig I get a good text area with *

toto

* BUT in the Database the Preflush has not been persisted !

My twig (Good return)
!https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/8613226/8110743/46b190e0-105e-11e5-91c1-e594df12b00c.png!

My Database Other Entity
!https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/8613226/8110776/6f523c52-105e-11e5-9463-cf6811ba95b1.png!

TO RESUME,

if I just modify values in text area, no problem
=> toto is persisted in database and return in my form twig.

But if I add a new field3, toto is returned into my twig (good!) but not persisted into the database (not good....!!)...

Where is the problem please ? (and sorry for my english)
