Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~5 minutes Mergeability Score: 🟡 Moderate · up to Under concurrent additions, a request that does not create a database row may still record a creation activity, producing inaccurate cycle history. The PR is not merge-ready until skipped rows are excluded from activity reporting or this behavior is explicitly accepted.

Django 5.2 QuerySet.bulk_create ignore_conflicts return value objects skipped conflicts documentation source
💡 Result:
When using QuerySet.bulk_create with ignore_conflicts=True in Django 5.2, the method does not return objects or update the primary key attributes of the passed model instances [1][2]. Because the database is instructed to ignore conflicting rows, it does not reliably return the primary keys for the inserted records in a way that allows Django to map them back to the specific instances provided in the input list [3][4][5]. Consequently, instances processed by bulk_create(ignore_conflicts=True) will not have their primary key fields populated, nor will the method return a list of successfully created objects [1][2]. If you need to identify which records were inserted or require their primary keys, you must typically re-query the database or perform manual checks, as the Django ORM cannot automatically reconcile the state of the objects with the skipped or inserted rows when conflicts are ignored [4][1][2].

🌐 Web query:
site:docs.djangoproject.com/en/5.2/ref/models/querysets/ bulk_create ignore_conflicts returns list same order
💡 Result:
In Django, the bulk_create method does not return the list of created objects. By default, it returns a list of the model instances that were passed to the method, although these instances will have their primary key attributes set if the database backend supports it and the primary key is an AutoField. Because the method does not return a new list of objects queried from the database, the order of the objects in the returned list is identical to the order of the list passed as an argument to bulk_create. When using the ignore_conflicts=True argument, Django skips rows that would cause a conflict. If an object is ignored due to a conflict, it will still be present in the returned list of instances, but it will not have been inserted into the database. Consequently, the returned list maintains the input order, but it does not represent only the objects successfully written to the database. [1]

Do not report conflict-skipped rows as created.
bulk_create() returns all input objects, not only inserted rows. Line 316 serializes every object in created_records, so a concurrent loser can produce a false creation event.
Capture only inserted rows, or omit skipped rows from the activity. Add a concurrency test that verifies one database row and one creation activity.

The created_records = [r for r in created_records if r.pk is not None]Without that, the fix trades a 500 for duplicate activity history under concurrent adds. Worth addressing in this PR or a fast follow. |

Good point to raise. In the rare concurrent case the losing request's Cleanly logging only the truly-inserted rows isn't straightforward with |
Fixes #9598.
Adding an issue to a cycle can return a 500 under concurrency.
CycleIssueViewSet.createfilters for issues already in the cycle, subtracts them, and bulk-inserts the rest:That existing-issue check is a plain filter with no row lock, so two requests adding the same issue to the same cycle can both compute the same
new_issuesand both reach the insert.CycleIssuehas a partial unique constraintcycle_issue_when_deleted_at_nullon(cycle, issue)wheredeleted_at IS NULL, so the second insert raisesIntegrityErrorand the user gets a 500.The same operation elsewhere in the codebase already guards against this with

ignore_conflicts=Trueto match, so a racing duplicate insert is skipped instead of blowing up the request.I checked the one place the return value is used:
created_recordsis serialized into the cycle activity payload, and the consumer (create_cycle_issue_activityinbgtasks/issue_activities_task.py) only readsfields.cycleandfields.issuefrom it, never the primary key. So the fact thatignore_conflicts=Trueleaves the instance PKs unset does not affect anything downstream. Behavior in the normal (non-racing) case is unchanged.Summary by CodeRabbit
