Problems when adding relation to custom entity

Hi there,

I’m using Oro CRM/OroPlatform 1.6 and have a problem creating a manyToMany relation between the User entity and a custom entity (let’s call it Category) – or, to be more precise, after creating a relation.

Doesn’t matter if I create it by ways of a migration or in the UI – I always end up with an exception when trying to update the entity config or the schema (and even on the login screen).

[ReflectionException] Property Oro\Bundle\UserBundle\Entity\User::$default_categories does not exist

1 2	[ReflectionException]   Property Oro\Bundle\UserBundle\Entity\User::$default_categories does not exist

Also, it seems like when creating the manyToMany relation, a field oro_user.default_categories_id is added ( – in addition to the mapping table).

Clearing caches does not help, somehow the $default_categories metadata is always recreated. But I have no idea where it comes from. It’s not to be found in the data field for the respective entity (User) oro_entity_config.

Any pointers?

Regards,
Matthias

PS: I would prefer to create the relation in a migration, but currently I’m using the UI. Is there any difference between the two?

Update: I’ve been narrowing it down to the without_default flag. Question is, where do I set it? Doesn’t seem to be possible in the UI, and it’s not clear to me how to set it in the migration.

For example, $extendConfig->is('without_default') is never true and consequently defines a $defaultEntity. But how can I make sure there is a without_default property in the extended config? How is a migration supposed to look like that adds a manyToMany relation without a default relation?

So it all boils down to the migration. Calling $this->extendExtension->addManyToManyRelation(...) adds the field to the oro_entity_config_field table, but the User configuration in oro_entity_config does not seem to be updated accordingly. The relation information is missing there completely.

When I try to add categories to a User, they are not saved (although no error occurs).

How can I make sure the entity config is updated correctly?

Thx for reading all this, any help would be appreciated :)
