1. Description

An exception is thrown when the AuditEntry table has a trigger.
We're using Azure SQL database.

2. Exception

Microsoft.Data.SqlClient.SqlException (0x80131904): The target table 'AuditEntrySet' of the DML statement cannot have any enabled triggers if the statement contains an OUTPUT clause without INTO clause.

Exception message:

Hello @sven5 ,

I believe you are currently using EF Core 7.

Since EF Core 7, there is a huge breaking change on their side and you have now to specify which table has a trigger.

See: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/ef/core/what-is-new/ef-core-7.0/breaking-changes#sql-server-tables-with-triggers-or-certain-computed-columns-now-require-special-ef-core-configuration

The current bug (unless this is something else in your case) is not related to our library as you can reproduce the same behavior by simply adding a row to this table and calling the SaveChanges.

Best Regards,

Jon
