Bug Report

Q	A
BC Break	no
Version	2.9.3

Summary

Basically, we've got a lot of entities in the DB, but sometimes the state property on some of these entities doesn't get updated on flush(). This has ended up with this code snippet being used in our application:

    /**
     * You might be wondering why there's a method here which is circumventing Doctrine's persist/flush
     * methods. For some reason at this point, Doctrine refuses to update the state on the booking even though
     * it has changed. Not sure why, so we have to get around it by manually performing the DB queries.
     */
    public static function forceState(ManagerRegistry $doctrine, Order $order): void
    {
        /** @var Connection $connection */
        $connection = $doctrine->getConnection('account');
        $statement = $connection->prepare('UPDATE booking SET state = :state WHERE id = :booking_id');
        foreach ($order->getBookings() as $booking) {
            $statement->execute([
                ':booking_id' => $booking->getId(),
                ':state' => $booking->getState()
            ]);
        }
    }

This doesn't happen all the time, and only happens on the state property, not any of the others. I'm assuming that somewhere, the changeset is being recalculated before the changes are persisted, but I can't find any of our listeners which are doing this.

Current behavior

State property is not updated.

How to reproduce

This is why I've waited so long to report this, I've been completely unable to replicate this issue, printing out lines and running debug, but every time I've tried this it's worked. The problem is consistent, and happens when only the state is updated, rather than any other properties. Any clues as to what to look for or how to track down what's happening here would be really appreciated.

Expected behavior

State property is updated.
