Conflict with RowVersion/Concurrency Token in TPH with Owned Entity as JSON (ValidateJsonProperties throws exception) #37274
Description
Bug description
After upgrading from EF Core 9.x to 10.0.0, an exception is thrown during model building (e.g., EnsureCreated or during migrations) when the following combination is used:
- TPH inheritance (base class + derived class)
- A traditional RowVersion column in the base class (IsRowVersion / IsConcurrencyToken)
- A derived class containing an owned type that is mapped to JSON using ToJson()
This model works correctly in EF Core 9. Starting with EF Core 10, it fails with the following exception:
System.InvalidOperationException: Property 'OwnedEntity._TableSharingConcurrencyTokenConvention_RowVersion' cannot have both a column name ('RowVersion') and a JSON property name ('_TableSharingConcurrencyTokenConvention_RowVersion') configured. Properties in JSON-mapped types should use JSON property names, not column names.
Expected Behavior
The model should be built without throwing an exception.
The RowVersion in the base class should work as a standard timestamp/rowversion column, and the owned JSON object should be validated independently without inheriting concurrency metadata.
Actual Behavior
During model creation (dbContext.Database.EnsureCreated()), EF Core throws an InvalidOperationException (full stack trace included in the sample project).
This prevents both model creation and migrations.
Your code
// Sample Entities
public abstract class BaseEntity
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; } = string.Empty;
public long RowVersion { get; set; }
}
public class DerivedEntity : BaseEntity
{
public OwnedEntity Owned { get; set; } = new();
}
public class OwnedEntity
{
public string Description { get; set; } = "Any";
}
// DB Context --> leads to the error on EF Core 10
public class MyDbContext(DbContextOptions<MyDbContext> dbContextOptions) : DbContext(dbContextOptions)
{
protected override void OnModelCreating(
ModelBuilder modelBuilder)
{
modelBuilder.Entity<BaseEntity>(b =>
{
b.HasKey(e => e.Id);
b.Property(e => e.RowVersion).IsRowVersion().IsConcurrencyToken();
b.Property(e => e.Name).HasMaxLength(100).IsRequired();
b.HasDiscriminator<string>("Type")
.HasValue<DerivedEntity>(nameof(DerivedEntity));
});
modelBuilder.Entity<DerivedEntity>(b =>
{
b.OwnsOne(x => x.Owned, ob =>
{
ob.ToJson();
ob.Property(o => o.Description).HasMaxLength(200).IsRequired();
});
});
}
}
// DB Context --> workaround
public class MyDbContext(DbContextOptions<MyDbContext> dbContextOptions) : DbContext(dbContextOptions)
{
protected override void OnModelCreating(
ModelBuilder modelBuilder)
{
modelBuilder.Entity<BaseEntity>(b =>
{
b.HasKey(e => e.Id);
//b.Property(e => e.RowVersion).IsRowVersion().IsConcurrencyToken();
b.Ignore(x => x.RowVersion);
b.Property(e => e.Name).HasMaxLength(100).IsRequired();
b.HasDiscriminator<string>("Type")
.HasValue<DerivedEntity>(nameof(DerivedEntity));
});
modelBuilder.Entity<DerivedEntity>(b =>
{
// Moved from base entity to derived entity
b.Property(e => e.RowVersion).IsRowVersion().IsConcurrencyToken();
b.OwnsOne(x => x.Owned, ob =>
{
ob.ToJson();
ob.Property(o => o.Description).HasMaxLength(200).IsRequired();
});
});
}
}Stack traces
Unhandled exception. System.InvalidOperationException: Property 'OwnedEntity._TableSharingConcurrencyTokenConvention_RowVersion' cannot have both a column name ('RowVersion') and a JSON property name ('_TableSharingConcurrencyTokenConvention_RowVersion') configured. Properties in JSON-mapped types should use JSON property names, not column names.
