We have a backoffice developed with EasyAdmin (4.4.5), for a Symfony (5.4.24) project. Among other entities and features, we have a bunch of related entities, as shown in the following code example. The thing is, with these relationships, when we create an entity, everything is working correctly; but when we want to update one of the related entities, this change is not made (everything updates except for the relation).
We have been investigating and we see that EasyAdmin’s CRUD forms sends the new data, and the new values goes through the “setXxxx” functions of the modified entities. But those entities, when they reach the “updateEntity()” function, arrive with the old related data.
Can someone tell us if this situation is due to a bad configuration of the entities, or if there is an error in the code, or if it’s a Symfony or Doctrine cache problem, or if it is a bug in EasyAdmin?
We have not been able to solve this situation.
Thank you so much.
PD: The number “2” in the entities name is because I generated an example of code from our project, simplified to be able to explain the case.

Workflow in images:
Try to update Manufacturer in ACModel
We have tried: Check the circular references of the entities, configure the Symfony and Doctrine cache so that it does not run, keep track of the value changes in the entities, we have also tried to remove some of the relations of the entities (just for testing), …
We expected that you could change any of the related entities, and save the change normally from EasyAdmin.
