I have eventlistener preUpdate

public function preUpdate(PreUpdateEventArgs $args) {        
    $user = $args->getEntity();
    if($user instanceof \iTracker\UserBundle\Entity\User) {
        if($args->hasChangedField('userGroup')) {

            $old = $args->getOldValue('userGroup');
            $new = $args->getNewValue('userGroup');

            $em = $args->getEntityManager();

            $old->setAmount($old->getAmount() - 1);
            $em->persist($old);

            $new->setAmount($new->getAmount() + 1);
            $em->persist($new);
            $em->flush();
        }
    }
}

And after submiting form i get FatalErrorException: Error: Maximum function nesting level of '100' reached, aborting! in /var/www/issue/app/cache/dev/classes.php line 6123

Calling flush suggested by the author is not a correct solution. It will fire onFLush twice and create unneeded savepoints in transaction.

All additional changes can be scheduled in events using computeChangeSet, recomputeSingleEntityChangeSet and scheduleExtraUpdate methods.

In case with a different entity:

public function preUpdate(PreUpdateEventArgs $args) {        
    $user = $args->getEntity();
    if($user instanceof \iTracker\UserBundle\Entity\User) {
        if($args->hasChangedField('userGroup')) {
            $old = $args->getOldValue('userGroup');
            $new = $args->getNewValue('userGroup');

            $oldOriginAmount = $old->getAmount();
            $newOriginAmount = $new->getAmount();

            $old->setAmount($old->getAmount() - 1);
            $uow->scheduleExtraUpdate($old, array(
                'amount' => array($oldOriginAmount, $old->getAmount())
            ));

            $new->setAmount($new->getAmount() + 1);
            $uow->scheduleExtraUpdate($new, array(
                'amount' => array($newOriginAmount, $new->getAmount())
            ));
        }
    }
}

Calling persist is not needed (because the associated entites aren't created in any event, they should be already persistent).

@meze is right, using flush inside the *Flush* events will cause a loop.

But there is a quick workaround that will allow you to do it still: $eventManager = $this -> em -> getEventManager();

// Remove event, if we call $this->em->flush() now there is no infinite recursion loop!
$eventManager -> removeEventListener('onFlush', $this); 

// ...

// Re-attach since we're done
$eventManager -> addEventListener('onFlush', $this);
