Fixes #9598.

Adding an issue to a cycle can return a 500 under concurrency. CycleIssueViewSet.create filters for issues already in the cycle, subtracts them, and bulk-inserts the rest:

existing_issues = [str(ci.issue_id) for ci in cycle_issues]
new_issues = list(set(issues) - set(existing_issues))
...
created_records = CycleIssue.objects.bulk_create([...], batch_size=10)

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_issues and both reach the insert. CycleIssue has a partial unique constraint cycle_issue_when_deleted_at_null on (cycle, issue) where deleted_at IS NULL, so the second insert raises IntegrityError and the user gets a 500.

The same operation elsewhere in the codebase already guards against this with ignore_conflicts=True:

  • module/issue.py (ModuleIssue add-issue), both bulk_create calls
  • api/views/cycle.py (the external API's cycle add-issue)

Only this app-API path was missed. This adds ignore_conflicts=True to 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_records is serialized into the cycle activity payload, and the consumer (create_cycle_issue_activity in bgtasks/issue_activities_task.py) only reads fields.cycle and fields.issue from it, never the primary key. So the fact that ignore_conflicts=True leaves the instance PKs unset does not affect anything downstream. Behavior in the normal (non-racing) case is unchanged.

    • Improved reliability when adding issues to cycles concurrently.
    • Duplicate cycle-issue entries are now skipped instead of producing an error.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Cycle issue creation now skips duplicate inserts during concurrent requests. Records skipped by the database are removed before activity serialization.

Changes

Cycle issue creation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Ignore duplicate cycle-issue inserts
apps/api/plane/app/views/cycle/issue.py
CycleIssueViewSet.create uses ignore_conflicts=True for bulk creation and removes records without primary keys before activity serialization.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~5 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 668e8

The change prevents concurrent duplicate additions from returning a 500, but skipped records can still be reported as newly created in cycle activity, producing inaccurate user-visible history. The PR should not merge until persisted records are identified before serialization.

The ignore_conflicts=True fix is correct and matches the module and external-API paths. One gap worth addressing: PostgreSQL's ON CONFLICT DO NOTHING does not populate PKs on skipped rows. Django still returns those objects in created_records with id = None, and they flow into create_cycle_issue_activity, producing an activity entry for an insert that was silently discarded. A second concurrent request that lost the race will log "issue added" even though it added nothing. Filtering before the activity call would close this:

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 bulk_create skips the duplicate but still returns it in created_records, so that issue would get a second "created" cycle activity entry. I left it that way on purpose: it is a duplicate log line rather than a duplicate row (the DB constraint still guarantees a single CycleIssue), and the activity consumer keys off fields.issue, so it is cosmetic. That trade is strictly better than the current behaviour, which is a 500 for the whole request.

Cleanly logging only the truly-inserted rows isn't straightforward with ignore_conflicts=True, since Postgres doesn't report back which rows were inserted vs skipped, and re-querying can't distinguish this request's inserts from the racing one's without its own race. The module add-issue path sidesteps this by discarding the result entirely. Happy to follow that pattern here if you'd prefer, but it felt out of scope for the crash fix.

ON CONFLICT DO NOTHING leaves skipped rows with pk=None; filtering them
out of created_records avoids logging a 'created' activity entry for an
insert that was discarded under a concurrent add (per review).

Good call, you're right that this shouldn't just be logged as a duplicate line. Under a concurrent add the losing request gets its skipped rows back with pk=None, and serializing those into created_cycle_issues records a "created" activity entry for an insert that was actually discarded, which is misleading history rather than harmless noise.

Pushed the filter: created_records now drops pk is None rows before create_cycle_issue_activity. Thanks for the catch.

Use a database-backed inserted-row check instead of the pk filter.

CycleIssue assigns UUID primary keys before bulk_create(). Conflict-skipped objects retain non-null pk values, so the filter keeps them and records false creations. Query the database for the attempted UUIDs after insertion and serialize only persisted records. Add tests for successful insertion and concurrent duplicate requests.
