On a custom Role__c join object that I created to establish a many to many relationship Account and Contact I am not able to upsert or create records that have been deleted. It will throw this error for every record: ENTITY IS DELETED

I can do so with Account or Contact:

  1. Add records
  2. Delete them
  3. Create them again

But the 3rd step fails if I try to do it for the custom object Role__c, with the message about records being deleted. Any idea of why this is happening? It happens using either the Bulk Api or the REST Api.

    The issue was that when pulling the records from the parent tables (Account and Contact), I wasn't filtering out the records that are in the recycle bin, hence trying to link the juntion object to records that were deleted. (to filter use WHERE isDeleted = false) in your query.
