Symfony Persisting oneToOne bidirectional relationship in a better way

I have 2 entities

  1. User
  2. jobSeekerProfile

and they are setup in oneToOne bidirectional

User.orm.yml

oneToOne:
    jobSeekerProfile:
        targetEntity: AppBundle\Entity\JobSeekerProfile
        mappedBy: jobSeekerUser
        cascade:  ["persist"]

JobSeekerProfile.orm.yml

oneToOne:
    jobSeekerUser:
        targetEntity: AppBundle\Entity\User
        inversedBy: jobSeekerProfile

Scenario 1

Now inside my controller I am trying to save my inverse side of the relationship, the data gets saved but not the relationship ID.

if ($form->isValid()) {
    $user = $form->getData();
    // encode the password manually
    $encodedPassword = $this->get('security.password_encoder')->encodePassword($user, $form->get('plainPassword')->getData());
    $user->setPassword($encodedPassword);
    $em = $this->getDoctrine()->getManager();
    $em->persist($user);
    $em->flush();
    $this->get('session')->getFlashBag()->add(
        'success',
        $this->get('translator')->trans('success_registration')
    );
    return $this->redirect($this->generateUrl('login'));

}

Scenario 2

If I change my controller to as following the relationship id gets saved. but then 2 records are added to the table one with relationship id and one without.

if ($form->isValid()) {
    $user = $form->getData();
    // encode the password manually

    $encodedPassword = $this->get('security.password_encoder')->encodePassword($user, $form->get('plainPassword')->getData());
    $user->setPassword($encodedPassword);
    $em = $this->getDoctrine()->getManager();

    $JS = new JobSeekerProfile();
    $JS->setFirstName($form->get('jobSeekerProfile')['firstName']->getData());
    $JS->setLastName($form->get('jobSeekerProfile')['lastName']->getData());
    $JS->setJobSeekerUser($user);
    $em->persist($user);
    $em->persist($JS);
    $em->flush();
    $this->get('session')->getFlashBag()->add(
        'success',
        $this->get('translator')->trans('success_registration')
    );
    return $this->redirect($this->generateUrl('login'));

}

My question is, shouldn't the relationship id get saved as well using scenario 1 because rest of the data is getting saved so whats stopping the relationship id to get saved as well?

My question 2 is, if suppose the answer to above question is no then is scenario 2 the right approach, it does the job but is it the symfony way of doing things?

My physic abilities tell me that your user_id column in your job_seeker_profile table is null. Is that correct?

If so then the most likely problem is that you are not setting the relation between User and JobSeekerProfile.

class User {
  public function setJobSeekerProfile($profile) {
    $this->jobSeekerProfile = $profile;
    $profile->setUser($this); // THIS is what you are missing
