PostUpdate is not fired when changing attribute of second level of entity

Is it a known issue?
How should resolve it?

Which version are you using? Did you try searching for an issue on the issue tracker yet? What is the code that you are using?

  1. org.hibernate:hibernate-core - 5.4.27.Final
  2. The code uses this annotation:
    @PostUpdate of JPA 2.2

The Entity has this annotation:
@EntityListeners of JPA 2.2

Version 5.4 is not supported. Update to at least 5.6.15.Final. Also, show the code that you are using. If you provide a test case(https://github.com/hibernate/hibernate-test-case-templates/blob/master/orm/hibernate-orm-5/src/test/java/org/hibernate/bugs/JPAUnitTestCase.java) that reproduces the issue, your chances are way higher that somebody will actually be able to help you.
