TYPO3.Flow

I stumbled upon an issue when using two @ManyToOne properties in one model, that both point to the same related model (in my case it was a transaction that had an "account" and a "sourceOrTargetAccount" property. Both had the following annotation:

/**
 * @var \My\Namespace\MyPackage\Domain\Model\Account
 * @ManyToOne(cascade={"persist"})
 */

After calling doctrine:update there was only one column in the transaction table called mypackage_account that referenced values in the account table. Additionally I realised that the values of the sourceOrTargetAccount property were stored in this column. The value of the account property was not stored anywhere.

To fix this, I used the @JoinColumn annotation to specify the column:

@JoinColumn(name="source_or_target_account", referencedColumnName="flow3_persistence_identifier")

Maybe this behaviour is expected? If so this probably should be added to the docs.
