I see.

The thing seems empty all the time. Weird. Here's what I log fetch-time:
===
def cbc=.... // the business case whose users are about to be fetched
println "### about to fetch $cbc...\noldSS ${cbc.editingContext().committedSnapshotForObject(cbc).userDataBlocks}"
def xxx=cbc.userDataBlocks()
println "### -> did fetch $xxx\nnewSS ${cbc.editingContext().committedSnapshotForObject(cbc).userDataBlocks}"
xxx.each { println "### user $it\n### rel ${it.dataBlockUsers()}\n### ss ${it.editingContext().committedSnapshotForObject(it).dataBlockUsers}" }
===
Presumably, the “oldSS” should be empty, but the “newSS” should be a copy of the relationship value (i.e., “cbc.userDataBlocks()”, or “xxx”)?
It is not; the snapshot consistently stays empty:
===
### about to fetch <DBDataBlock@d6ff2f9 PK:1000003 Title:'überblok' /EC:6350cea5>...
oldSS []
### -> did fetch [<DBUser@6f400a99 PK:1000005 T:'3' Name:'cl' /EC:6350cea5>, <DBUser@5f8a5755 PK:1000006 T:'3' Name:'c2' /EC:6350cea5>, <DBUser@569a703e PK:1000009 T:'4' Name:'kl kl kl' /EC:6350cea5>]
newSS []
===
Aside of that, I have added a log into the DatabaseContextDelegate.databaseContextShouldUpdateCurrentSnapshot method, and here I *never* get *anything* for the relationships: neither the old (which is presumable) *nor the new* dictionary ever contain the “userDataBlocks” or “dataBlockUsers” key — not once.
Well it still might be a wrong model settings as Samuel suggests perhaps? But it is sort of weird I use this settings for years and lots of M:N's, and this is the first time I have bumped into this kind of problems.
Can you see what to check next?
Thanks a very big lot,

Of course, since they were fetched, they already exist in the database, and thus cause an integrity constraint violation “this PK already exists“.
