Я предполагаю, что это ошибка Doctrine (и я отправил сообщение об ошибке JIRA), но в случае, если это просто ошибка пользователя, я решил опубликовать ее здесь.

СИНТАКСИС

Сохранение коллекции объектов в таблице соединений с составной первичной Ключ, состоящий из 2 внешних ключей и одного поля метаданных, не выполняется в определенных ситуациях. Код был основан на инструкциях здесь: Doctrine docs

ДЕТАЛИ ВЫДАЧИ

УСПЕХ: Когда FOREIGN KEY 1 является одинаковым для элементов в коллекции, которая должна быть сохранена, и FOREIGN KEY 2 больше, чем FOREIGN KEY 2 в любом существующем PRIMARY KEY, субъект и связанные объекты в коллекции сохраняются правильно:
- Пример: существует GPA "add val ниже" и имеет оценочное значение {"assessment":6,"value":4} Мы попытаемся добавить новое оценочное значение, где valu_id > того из существующих оценочное значение для GPA "добавить значение ниже"
- Запрос полезной нагрузки: {"name":"add val below","courses":[],"assessmentValues":[{"assessment":6,"value":4},{"assessment":7,"value":3}]}
- Журнал отладки:
```
[2013-12-31 11:48:48] app.INFO: GPA ID PRESAVE IN CONTROLLER:9 [] []

[2013-12-31 11:48:48] doctrine.DEBUG: "COMMIT" [] []
```

НЕИСПРАВНОСТЬ: Когда FOREIGN KEY 1 одинаково для элементов в коллекции, а FOREIGN KEY 2 меньше, чем любой существующий FOREIGN KEY 2, блок работы пытается вставить INSERT существующий объект и не работает с новым объектом.

Пример: существует GPA "add val above" и имеет оценочное значение {"assessment":8,"value":2} Мы попытаемся добавить новое значение оценки, любой существующей значение оценки для GPA "добавить значение выше"
Запрос полезной нагрузки: {"name":"add val above","courses":[],"assessmentValues":[{"assessment":6,"value":4},{"assessment":8,"value":2}]}
