Many-To-Many Issue in Abp suite version 8 #6838

We are encountering an issue with a project(Single Layer) created using ABP Suite (8.0.4), specifically with tables that have a many-to-many relationship, such as the Book and Category entities. The Book entity is associated with multiple categories. While we are able to create a book with categories successfully, we are unable to delete it. We are receiving an error message stating, "The property 'Books.BooksId' is part of a key and cannot be modified or marked as modified. To change the principal of an existing entity with an identifying foreign key, first delete the dependent, invoke 'SaveChanges', and then associate the dependent with the new principal." Interestingly, the same code worked in a previous version of the project(Single Layer) using ABP Suite 6.0.2.

    I could not reproduce it:

    Can you please share your *DbContext class content and, share the full error logs?

    Oh okay, sorry for the misunderstanding, I thought the problem was being not able to delete books. I'm able to reproduce the problem you stated now.


    To quickly fix this problem for now, you can change the delete behavior in the dbcontext class. So, please open your DbContext class and make the following changes:

            if (builder.IsHostDatabase())
            {
                builder.Entity<Book>(b =>
                {
                    b.ToTable(DbTablePrefix + "Books", DbSchema);
                    b.ConfigureByConvention();
                    b.Property(x => x.Name).HasColumnName(nameof(Book.Name));
                    b.HasMany(x => x.Categories).WithOne().HasForeignKey(x => x.BookId).IsRequired()
    -                   .OnDelete(DeleteBehavior.NoAction);
    +                   .OnDelete(DeleteBehavior.Cascade);
                });
    
                builder.Entity<BookCategory>(b =>
                {
                    b.ToTable(DbTablePrefix + "BookCategory", DbSchema);
                    b.ConfigureByConvention();
    
                    b.HasKey(
                        x => new { x.BookId, x.CategoryId }
                    );
    
                    b.HasOne<Book>().WithMany(x => x.Categories).HasForeignKey(x => x.BookId).IsRequired()
    -                   .OnDelete(DeleteBehavior.NoAction);
    +                   .OnDelete(DeleteBehavior.Cascade);
    
                    b.HasOne<Category>().WithMany().HasForeignKey(x => x.CategoryId).IsRequired()
    -                   .OnDelete(DeleteBehavior.NoAction);
    +                   .OnDelete(DeleteBehavior.Cascade);
    
                    b.HasIndex(
                        x => new { x.BookId, x.CategoryId }
                    );
                });
            }
    
    

    Just change the .OnDelete(DeleteBehavior.NoAction) to .OnDelete(DeleteBehavior.Cascade), and then create a new migration and apply it to the database. Then, your problem should be fixed.

    Note: We have already made this change in the v8.1.0-rc.1+, so you can also consider updating your application.


    Best regards.

    -                   .OnDelete(DeleteBehavior.NoAction);

                    b.HasIndex( 
                        x => new { x.BookId, x.CategoryId }
