Entity History shows duplicate (and faulty) audited properties for User entities #11761

dirkvr created

We recently enabled Entity History in our project. For most entities this seems to work properly aas intended. For (our subclassed entity of) AbpUser this logs duplicates of the audited properties (CreatorUserId, LastModifierUserId, ...) with faulty 'OriginalValue' data.

Row 3 shows the correct update from Id 663 to Id 13493 for the LastModifierUser. Rows 5-9 show faulty entries for the LastModifierUserId, where for some reason the Original Value is a string instead of a long, and does not correspond to the actual original value.

In order to debug this, I tried to subclass the EntityHistoryHelper and override CreateEntityChangeSet, and was able to verify that the returned changeset is correct. So these properties are added later in the flow, either somewhere between the call to CreateEntityChangeSet and the actual save to the db table, or during the actual save.

    Hi @dirkvr

    Is it possible to share your User class and the code which creates or modifies the user entity ?

    Thanks,

    Hi,

    Thanks. What does AuditExpansion attribute do ?

    The AuditExpansion attribute is used to provide extra context for certain properties in the UI. On Application start-up, a dictionary is built based on these attributes, so the endpoint that fetches the data knows where to fetch context. So if an entity has a UserId with a value of 5 that would be displayed as 5 (UserName)

    That being said, The issue is happening without the attribute as well, and the duplicate properties are inserted in the DB on save, before we even attempt to fetch it for the front-end. at this point, no action has been taken yet due to the attribute

    Hi @dirkvr

    In that case, is it possible to share your project via email ([email protected]) so we can reproduce this problem ?
