Assigning dictionary to series using .loc produces random results. · Issue #47216 · pandas-dev/pandas · GitHub

Pandas version checks Reproducible Example
import pandas as pd

df = pd.DataFrame({'A': [3, 9, 3, 4], 'B': [7, 1, 6, 0], 'C': [9, 0, 3, 4], 'D': [1, 8, 0, 0]})

   A  B  C  D
0  3  7  9  1
1  9  1  0  8
2  3  6  3  0
3  4  0  4  0

d = {0:10,1:20,2:30,3:40}

df.loc[:,'A'] = d

Output:

   A  B  C  D
0  0  7  9  1
1  1  1  0  8
2  2  6  3  0
3  3  0  4  0
Issue Description

The values that are assigned to columns A are the keys of the dictionary instead of the values.

If however, instead of assigning the dictionary to an existing column, if we create a new column, we will get the same result the first time we run it, but running the same code again will get the expected result. We then are able to select any column and it will return the expected output.

First time running df.loc[:,'E'] = {0:10,1:20,2:30,3:40}

Output:

   A  B  C  D  E
0  0  7  9  1  0
1  1  1  0  8  1
2  2  6  3  0  2
3  3  0  4  0  3

Second time running df.loc[:,'E'] = {0:10,1:20,2:30,3:40}

   A  B  C  D   E
0  0  7  9  1  10
1  1  1  0  8  20
2  2  6  3  0  30
3  3  0  4  0  40

Then if we run the same code as we did at first, we get a different result:

df.loc[:,'A'] = {0:10,1:20,2:30,3:40}

Output:

    A  B  C  D   E
0  10  7  9  1  10
1  20  1  0  8  20
2  30  6  3  0  30
3  40  0  4  0  40
Expected Behavior

d = {0:10,1:20,2:30,3:40}

df.loc[:,'A'] = d

Output:

     A  B  C  D
 0  10  7  9  1
 1  20  1  0  8
 2  30  6  3  0
 3  40  0  4  0
