Description
When you're updating an entity in a detached situation (e.g. MVC or SPA) and want to make use of a concurrency token, it's important to set the OriginalValue of a concurrency token to the CurrentValue as mentioned on https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/data/ef-rp/concurrency?view=aspnetcore-2.1&tabs=visual-studio. It took me several hours to realise this. It might help others if this situation was elaborated on this page.
```
// Update the RowVersion to the value when this entity was
// fetched. If the entity has been updated after it was
// fetched, RowVersion won't match the DB RowVersion and
// a DbUpdateConcurrencyException is thrown.
// A second postback will make them match, unless a new
// concurrency issue happens.
_context.Entry(departmentToUpdate)
.Property("RowVersion").OriginalValue = Department.RowVersion;
```
