Lightning Component Superbadge - Step 7

I'm working on Step 9 at the moment and my code passed the Step 7 check, but I noticed something very odd.  Here is the problem:

1. I can add an intial review and the code does as requested and shows the review 
Add Review  Show Boat

Behind the scenes a record is added to the BoatReview__C object
User-added image

2. The problem occurs on adding a second review.  No matter if I change boats or add a review to the existing boat, all subsequent inserts actually update the original review.
Add second review 

Behind the scenes the Insert has actually done an Update on the original record
User-added image

If I change boats and add a review record, the original boat review is updated and the Id and Boat Id stay the same.  It is as though I am not Committing the transaction.

Here is the code:
AddBoatReview.cmp
<aura:component implements="force:appHostable,flexipage:availableForAllPageTypes">
	<aura:attribute name="boat" type="Boat__c" access="public"/>
    <aura:attribute name="boatReview" type="BoatReview__c" access="private"
                    default="{'sobjectType':'BoatReview__c', 'Name':'', 'Comment__c':''}"/>    
	<aura:attribute name="boatReviewRecord" type="Object" access="public"/>
    <aura:attribute name="recordError" type="String" access="private"/>  

    <aura:handler name="init" value="{!this}" action="{!c.doInit}"/>
    
	<aura:registerEvent name="BoatReviewAdded" type="c:BoatReviewAdded"/>    
    
	<force:recordData aura:id="service"
    	layoutType="FULL"  
		fields="Id, Name, Comment__c, Boat__c"
		targetRecord="{!v.boatReviewRecord}"
		targetFields="{!v.boatReview}"
		targetError="{!v.recordError}"
        recordUpdated="{!c.onRecordUpdated}" />    
    
    <lightning:layout multipleRows="true">

                    alert('Boat Review Saved');
                }
        }
    }
})

AddBoatReviewHelper.js
({
	onInit : function(component,event) {
        var boat=component.get("v.boat"); 
//        console.log("We have got the AddReview INIT OK" + boat.Id);  
        component.find("service").getNewRecord("BoatReview__c", // sObject type (entityApiName)
            	null, // recordTypeId
            	false, // skip cache?
            $A.getCallback(function() {
           		var rec = component.get("v.boatReview");
                   var error = component.get("v.recordError");                 
				if(error || (rec === null)) {
//            		console.log("Error initializing record template: " + error);
         		} else {
//                    console.log("We have initialised the AddReview OK" + boat.Id);                 
					component.set("v.boatReview.Boat__c",boat.Id);
         		}
			})
		);   
    }
})

I can complete the SuperBadge becuase the code passed the checker, but be good to know what I got wrong......thanks

Cracked it. That took some work.  The problemo was in the old onInit function in AddBoatReviewHelper.js.  There is a option to skip cache with a default of false.  I set this to true and all my problems disappeared.  Major pat on the back for me.

Hi Robin,

I was facing similar issue. I was able to pass the challenge but i noticed this issue when implementing the Five Star Rating. Kept adding console.log everywhere to figure the issue. 

But the my issue was also resolved by changing the cache option to true.

Thanks Robin.
