Envers ManyToOne Audited Attributes are Empty/Nulll. Intentional?

Hibernate ORM

Hi,

I am auditing the following (simplified) entity:

@Table(name = "constituent_entity")
public class ConstituentEntity {

    @Audited
    @ManyToOne(fetch = FetchType.LAZY)
    @JoinColumns(<...mappings...>)
    private Constituent constituent;

    @Audited
    @ManyToOne(fetch = FetchType.LAZY)
    @JoinColumn(<...mapping...>)
    private BaseEntity entity;
}

@Table(name = "entity")
public class BaseEntity {

    @Audited(withModifiedFlag = true, modifiedColumnName = "name_mod")
    private String name;

    ...

    @Audited
    @AuditJoinTable(name = "constituent_entity_aud")
    @OneToMany(mappedBy = "entity")
    private List<ConstituentEntity> constituentEntities = new ArrayList<>();
}

public class Constituent {

    @Audited(withModifiedFlag = true, modifiedColumnName = "name_mod")
    private String name;
    ...

    @Audited
    @AuditJoinTable(name = "constituent_entity_aud")
    @OneToMany(mappedBy = "constituent")
    private List<ConstituentEntity> constituentEntities = new ArrayList<>();
}

When saving a new ConstituentEntity, the audit table (constituent_entity_aud) populates correctly, however the row that gets inserted for constituent & entity, in their respective audit tables (constituent_aud and entity_aud), contain only the ID attribute of the record

For example, creating a ConstituentEntity will add a row to constituent_entity_aud, constituent_aud and entity_aud, but the ‘name’ column in both constituent_aud and entity_aud are null, rather than their current value

Is this intended?

When fetching the ConstituentEntity revision, it would be helpful to know the state of the Constituent and BaseEntity, but right now it is not getting stored - COuld there be something wrong with my configuration?

I am running hibernate envers version 6.6.4

It sounds like a bug to me. Please try to create a reproducer with our test case template and if you are able to reproduce the issue, create a bug ticket in our issue tracker and attach that reproducer.
