Important Notice: We have identified a bug in Dynamic Node Labels and Dynamic Relationship Types when used with composite (multi-property) indexes which can lead to the operator sometimes returning incorrect MATCH results. When used in a MERGE, this can potentially result in updates to the incorrect node, or in the runtime issuing CREATE operations that cannot succeed. This bug was introduced in 2025.11. A fix will be released shortly, but in the meantime we advise customers not to use Dynamic Label/Relationship Types in conjunction with composite indexes.

Important Update: We recently issued a notification about a bug in Dynamic Node Labels and Dynamic Relationship Types when used with composite (multi-property) indexes which can lead to the operator sometimes returning incorrect MATCH results. When used in a MERGE, this can potentially result in updates to the incorrect node, or in the runtime issuing CREATE operations that cannot succeed.
This bug, introduced in 2025.11, has been fixed in the new 2026.01.4 release which is available for download now from the Neo4j Deployment Center. We advise anyone using Dynamic Label/Relationship Types in conjunction with composite indexes to upgrade at the earliest opportunity.
