Description

### Type of issue

Code doesn't work

### Description

I am trying to save a graph just like in the example shown. But there are multiple issues with the example:
- whatever I do, it throws an error when saving the `Post`, because the executed `INSERT` has still `BlogId=0`
- providing the Blog to the Post didn't help
- using Sync/Async processing didn't change anything
- the Post has many objects that are expected to be not null, yet aren't required to be set in constructor - this generates compilator warnings
