This could have the same root cause as this DB #35574

[mountiny]

yeah I feel like its similar the managerID change is not listened to, the contributor has a PR going soon so I can add this to testing steps to verify!

@mkhutornyi let's check for this scenario too but I think it might be fixed with your change too
