TransientPropertyValueException : object references - Nested objects

Question

I've a Trigger that contains a Context and each Context are linked to another one.

I'm searching to find a way with hibernate to save a Trigger and associated Contexts.

Trigger model :

@OneToOne(mappedBy = "trigger", cascade = CascadeType.ALL)
private Context context;

Context model :

@Id
@GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.AUTO)
private UUID id;
private String name;
private OperatorType operator; // Enumeration of operators
@OneToOne(cascade = CascadeType.ALL)
private Context rightMember;
@OneToOne
@MapsId
private Trigger trigger;

Here's how I'm doing in my service :

@Override
public Trigger saveTrigger(UUID scenarioId, Trigger trigger) {
    Scenario scenario = scenarioService.findById(scenarioId);
    trigger.setScenario(scenario);

    if (trigger.getContext() != null) {
        Context context = trigger.getContext();
        context.setTrigger(trigger);
    }

    return stepRepository.save(trigger);

I'm sending this kind of data into my Back :

{
  "context": {
    "name": "test", 
    "operator": "OR",
    "rightMember": {
      "name": "test 2"
    }
  }
}

But I get this error :

 "timestamp": "2020-03-24T14:57:37.755+0000",
  "status": 500,
  "error": "Internal Server Error",
  "message": "org.hibernate.TransientPropertyValueException: object references an unsaved transient instance - save the transient instance before flushing : com.smartmark.scenarios.model.Context.rightMember -> com.smartmark.scenarios.model.Context; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalStateException: org.hibernate.TransientPropertyValueException: object references an unsaved transient instance - save the transient instance before flushing : com.smartmark.scenarios.model.Context.rightMember -> com.smartmark.scenarios.model.Context",...

If I'm sending this kind of data (same as before but without rightMember), I don't have problems :

{
  "context": {
    "name": "test", 
    "operator": "OR"
  }
}

I'm searching how to fix this problem to save every Context when I save a Trigger. In the same way, when I'm deleting a Trigger, I want to delete all associated Contexts.

Full stack trace when adding the CascadeType.ALL on the @OneToOne on the rightMember :
