## Summary
- Adds a `color` column to `ObjectMetadataEntity` with full GraphQL
support so object icon colors are persisted at the metadata level
- Adds a `type` column to `NavigationMenuItemEntity` (enum: `OBJECT`,
`VIEW`, `FOLDER`, `LINK`, `RECORD`) replacing field-based type inference
- Updates frontend to read object colors from `objectMetadata.color`
(falling back to standard defaults) in the sidebar nav, record index
header, and record show breadcrumb
- Simplifies `NavigationMenuItemIcon` color resolution via
`getEffectiveNavigationMenuItemColor` util
## Color rules
| Item type | Color source | Editable in sidebar? |
|-----------|-------------|---------------------|
| **Object** | `objectMetadata.color` | Yes — persisted to
`objectMetadata.color` on Save |
| **Folder** | `navigationMenuItem.color` | Yes |
| **Link** | Fixed default (`DEFAULT_NAVIGATION_MENU_ITEM_COLOR_LINK`) |
No |
| **View** | `objectMetadata.color` (from the parent object) | No |
| **Record** | None | No |
- **Object** items represent the whole object (e.g. "Companies") and
point to the INDEX view. Changing their color updates
`objectMetadata.color` via `useSaveObjectMetadataColorsFromDraft`.
- **View** items represent specific non-INDEX views. Their color comes
from the parent object's metadata (read-only).
- Only **folders** store their color on `navigationMenuItem.color` —
enforced by `hasNavigationMenuItemOwnColor` util.
- `getEffectiveNavigationMenuItemColor` returns `objectColor` for both
OBJECT and VIEW items, folder's own color for folders, and the fixed
default for links.
## NavigationMenuItemType enum
- Shared enum created in `twenty-shared` with values: `OBJECT`, `VIEW`,
`FOLDER`, `LINK`, `RECORD`
- Registered as a GraphQL enum on the backend
- Replaces string literals across entity, DTOs, input, converters, and
frontend hooks
- Migration backfills existing rows: INDEX views → `OBJECT`, non-INDEX
views → `VIEW`, based on join with the view table
## Design decisions
- **OBJECT vs VIEW distinction**: Items pointing to INDEX views are
typed as `OBJECT` (represent the whole object, color editable). Items
pointing to non-INDEX views are typed as `VIEW` (specific view, color
read-only from parent object).
- **Dual color storage**: `navigationMenuItem.color` is preserved for
folders only. Objects use `objectMetadata.color` as their source of
truth.
- **Type discriminator**: The `type` column replaces field-based
inference (checking `viewId`, `link`, `targetRecordId` presence) with an
explicit enum, simplifying `isNavigationMenuItemLink` /
`isNavigationMenuItemFolder` to simple `item.type ===` checks.
- **No settings page color picker**: Object color editing is done from
the sidebar edit panel, not the data model settings page.
## Test plan
- [ ] Verify objects display their default standard colors in the
sidebar
- [ ] Verify object color editing works in the sidebar edit panel
(persists to objectMetadata.color)
- [ ] Verify folder color editing works in the sidebar edit panel
- [ ] Verify views, links, and records do NOT show a color picker in the
sidebar edit panel
- [ ] Run `npx nx typecheck twenty-front` and `npx nx typecheck
twenty-server`
- [ ] Verify the database migrations add `color` to `objectMetadata` and
`type` to `navigationMenuItem`

## Summary
- Renames the `FieldMetadataType` enum key from `RICH_TEXT_V2` to
`RICH_TEXT` across the entire codebase, while keeping the underlying
string value as `'RICH_TEXT_V2'` to maintain PostgreSQL database
compatibility
- Renames all related types, guards, hooks, components, and files from
`*RichTextV2*` / `*rich-text-v2*` to `*RichText*` / `*rich-text*` (e.g.
`FormRichTextV2FieldInput` → `FormRichTextFieldInput`,
`isFieldRichTextV2` → `isFieldRichText`)
- Updates generated files (GraphQL schema, SDK types) to use the new key
while preserving the `RICH_TEXT_V2` string value for DB/API layer
- Updates i18n locale files, test snapshots, and integration tests to
reflect the rename
## Context
The legacy `RICH_TEXT` (V1) field type was deprecated and migrated to
`TEXT` in a previous PR (#18623). With V1 gone, the `RICH_TEXT_V2`
naming is no longer necessary — `RICH_TEXT` is now the canonical name.
The DB enum value stays `'RICH_TEXT_V2'` to avoid confusion with the
just-deprecated V1 type and to prevent a database migration.
## Test plan
- [x] `twenty-server` typecheck passes
- [x] `twenty-front` typecheck passes (only pre-existing Apollo client
errors remain)
- [x] `twenty-server` lint passes
- [x] `twenty-front` lint passes
- [x] `twenty-shared` build passes
- [ ] CI passes
Made with [Cursor](https://cursor.com)
## Summary
- Removes the deprecated `RICH_TEXT` (V1) field metadata type from the
codebase entirely
- Adds a 1.20 upgrade command that migrates existing `RICH_TEXT` fields
to `TEXT` in `core.fieldMetadata`
- Cleans up ~70 files across `twenty-shared`, `twenty-server`,
`twenty-front`, `twenty-sdk`, and `twenty-zapier`
## Context
`RICH_TEXT` was a legacy field type that stored rich text as a single
`text` column. It was already **read-only** — writes threw errors
directing users to `RICH_TEXT_V2` instead. `RICH_TEXT_V2` is the current
approach: a composite type with `blocknote` (editor JSON) and `markdown`
subfields. Keeping the deprecated type added maintenance burden without
any value.
Since the underlying database column type for `RICH_TEXT` was already
`text` (same as `TEXT`), the migration only needs to update the metadata
— no data migration or column changes required.
## Changes
### Upgrade command (new)
- `1-20-migrate-rich-text-to-text.command.ts` — runs `UPDATE
core."fieldMetadata" SET "type" = 'TEXT' WHERE "type" = 'RICH_TEXT'` per
workspace, with cache invalidation
### Enum & shared types
- Removed `RICH_TEXT` from `FieldMetadataType` enum
- Removed from `FieldMetadataDefaultValueMapping`,
`isFieldMetadataTextKind`
### Server (~30 files)
- Removed from type mapper (scalar, filter, order-by), data processors,
input transformer, filter operators, zod schemas, column type mapping,
searchable fields, RLS matching, OpenAPI schema, fake value generators
- Removed from field creation flow and field metadata type validator
- Updated dev seeder Pet `bio` field to `TEXT`
- Cleaned up mocks, snapshots, integration tests
### Frontend (~25 files)
- Deleted: `RichTextFieldDisplay`, `isFieldRichText`,
`isFieldRichTextValue`, `useRichTextFieldDisplay`
- Removed from `FieldDisplay`, `usePersistField`, `isFieldValueEmpty`,
`isRecordMatchingFilter`, `generateEmptyFieldValue`,
`isFieldCellSupported`, spreadsheet import, workflow fake values
- Removed from settings types, field type configs, and field creation
exclusion list
- Updated tests, mocks, and stories
### SDK & Zapier
- Removed from generated GraphQL schema and TypeScript types
- Removed from Zapier `computeInputFields`
## PR Description
- Uses `expr-eval` to enable front components (SDK plugins) to define
conditional availability as declarative expressions.
- Moves shared types and constants to `twenty-shared`
- Introduces a `conditionalAvailabilityExpression` field on
`CommandMenuItemEntity`, allowing command menu items to store an
`expr-eval` compatible expression string that is evaluated against a
CommandMenuContext to determine if the item should be shown.
- Creates an esbuild transform plugin
`conditional-availability-transform-plugin` in `twenty-sdk` that
converts TypeScript conditional availability expressions into
`expr-eval` compatible syntax at build time, so SDK developers can write
natural TS expressions that get transformed to evaluable strings.
- Removes deprecated `forceRegisteredActionsByKey` state and its usage.
- Creates `useCommandMenuContext` hook that builds the full
`CommandMenuContext` object from React state, which is then passed to
`useCommandMenuItemFrontComponentActions` for evaluating conditional
availability expressions.
# Introduction
In preparation of the workspace agnostic builder, we're migrating
`FlatEntityMaps` to be universal identifier oriented and based
As in the builder context there're won't be any ids at all
Please also note that the FlatEntity is a UniversalFlatEntity superset
From
```ts
import { type SyncableFlatEntity } from 'src/engine/metadata-modules/flat-entity/types/flat-entity-from.type';
export type FlatEntityMaps<T extends SyncableFlatEntity> = {
byId: Partial<Record<string, T>>;
idByUniversalIdentifier: Partial<Record<string, string>>;
universalIdentifiersByApplicationId: Partial<Record<string, string[]>>;
};
```
To
```ts
export type FlatEntityMaps<
T extends SyncableFlatEntity | UniversalSyncableFlatEntity,
> = {
byUniversalIdentifier: Partial<Record<string, T>>;
universalIdentifierById: Partial<Record<string, string>>;
universalIdentifiersByApplicationId: Partial<Record<string, string[]>>; // this might make more sense to be migrated to universalIdentifiersByApplicationUniversalIdentifier but it's the main topic of this PR
};
```
## Low level maps tools
Had to refactor find | create | delete | replace | find-many | get-sub
tools ( through mutations and or throw equivalent )
# Introduction
Following https://github.com/twentyhq/twenty/pull/17632 and
https://github.com/twentyhq/twenty/pull/17572
This PR deprecates the agent, skill, field metadata and role
`standardId` in favor of the `universalIdentifier` usage
## Note
- Removed previous standard ids declaration modules
- Twenty-sdk now re-exports the `STANDARD_OBJECTS` universalIdentifier
hashmap constant
- deleted some sync-metadata deadcode too ( mainly types )
# Introduction
In this PR we're deprecating the object metadata standard id and
replacing it to the universalIdentifier usage
As we've totally removed its insertion for both new field and object in
https://github.com/twentyhq/twenty/pull/17572
## Note
- Removed upgrade commands before `1.17`
# Introduction
In this PR we're migrating both the `field` and `object` metadata to be
using the new `FlatEntityFromV2` that requires all the
`UniversalFlatEntityExtraProperties` to be spread at the flat entity
root.
This means that we have to update all of their flat declaration
This type swap allows to isole a specific entity migration into his own
type scope and avoid to have everything handled at once
```ts
/**
* Currently under migration but aims to replace FlatEntity afterwards
*/
export type FlatEntityFromV2<
TEntity,
TMetadataName extends AllMetadataName | undefined = undefined,
TInnerFlatEntity extends { __universal?: unknown } = FlatEntityFrom<
TEntity,
TMetadataName
>,
> = Omit<TInnerFlatEntity, '__universal'> & TInnerFlatEntity['__universal'];
```
## Impact
Both object and field:
- Create input transpilation utils
- from entity to flat tools
- mocks
## Note
Removed from the universal extra properties the jsonb properties that do
not contain a serialized
## Next
Next step is to incrementally make the builder and runner expect
`UniversalFlatEntity` for both of these metadata
This way we will be able to fully migrate an entity e2e typesafely
## Context
The previous WorkspaceAuthContext was a single interface with many
optional fields, making it unclear which fields are available in
different authentication scenarios. This made the code harder to reason
about and required runtime checks scattered throughout the codebase.
## Changes
- Introduced a discriminated union type for WorkspaceAuthContext with
four specific variants:
-> UserWorkspaceAuthContext - for authenticated users
-> ApiKeyWorkspaceAuthContext - for API key authentication
-> ApplicationWorkspaceAuthContext - for application-based auth
-> SystemWorkspaceAuthContext - for system/internal operations
- Added type guard functions (isUserAuthContext, isApiKeyAuthContext,
etc.) for safe type narrowing
- Added builder utilities (buildUserAuthContext, buildApiKeyAuthContext,
etc.) to construct each context variant with proper type safety
- Refactored WorkspaceAuthContextMiddleware to use the new builders
instead of constructing a loosely-typed object
- Moved the type definition from twenty-orm/interfaces/ to
core-modules/auth/types/ for better organization
- Updated all consumers across query runners, tool providers, and
modules to use the new type location
## Notes
- I had to query User and WorkspaceMember in some parts of tool module
that were expecting userWorkspaceId but not the rest of
UserWorkspaceAuthContext (that should be required with the new proper
type otherwise it would break a lot of logic and mostly permissions with
the newly added RLS -> This is what we expect from
UserWorkspaceAuthContext and how it's done in the "normal" path in HTTP
middleware)
- WorkspaceMember is in the cache already but ideally we should move
User (And Workspace?) in the cache as well to avoid querying the DB
after each request (this is also valid for HTTP middleware when we
hydrate the Request object btw)
This PR adds what is required to handle soft-delete and restore SSE
events in virtualized table and board.
Restore is not handled in board for now as it requires respecting sorts
when inserting record ids.
Since virtualized table is refetching small chunks, we just refetch for
now.
The long term goal is to handle event handling without refetching in all
main components, and also handle SSE events that have the same origin
that the current tab. But for now we implement what is easily doable.
# QA
Delete between table and board (delete only) :
https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/715dd44a-007a-44ab-bf49-5ef039cd57c3
Delete and restore between table and table :
https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/f2122519-e969-491f-b71c-018d0f85bd86
This PR reverts the change that was made to turn `Date` objects into ISO
string, because right now there are too many places in the code that use
both, either Date or ISO string from an entity returned by the querying
layer.
Unifying everything with ISO string is clearly the long term goal, but
right now it is too difficult, we should first refactor each part to ISO
string, then at the end remove Date from the codebase.
This PR fixes a bug that arises in `formatResult` following up the
recent refactor for DATE_TIME :
https://github.com/twentyhq/twenty/pull/17407
In the case of workflows, we pass a plain object to `formatResult` :
```ts
{
before: null,
after: '2026-01-27T10:59:15.525Z'
}
```
So a case has been added to handle this.
@Weiko are we ok with this more restrictive else-if part in this util ?
We could also just put a `continue` for unknown shapes.
# Introduction
In this PR we're introducing mainly two branded type signatures for both
`JsonbProperty` entities properties and `SerializedRelation` (jsonb
serialized property storing another entity id).
Allowing to dynamically map over them later in order to build universal
`jsonb` `serialized` relations.
## `JsonbProperty`
A branded wrapper type that marks entity properties stored as PostgreSQL
JSONB columns. It adds a phantom brand `__JsonbPropertyBrand__` to
object types while leaving primitives unchanged. The branded key is
optional and typed as never, also omitted when transpiled to
`UniversalFlat`
**Should be used at entities lvl only:**
```typescript
@Column({ type: 'jsonb', nullable: false })
gridPosition: JsonbProperty<GridPosition>;
@Column({ nullable: false, type: 'jsonb', default: [] })
publishedVersions: JsonbProperty<string[]>;
```
## `SerializedRelation`
A branded string type that marks foreign key IDs stored inside JSONB
objects. These are entity references serialized within a JSONB column
rather than being a regular database foreign key.
**Usage in jsonb property generic***
```ts
type FieldMetadataRelationSettings = {
relationType: RelationType;
onDelete?: RelationOnDeleteAction;
joinColumnName?: string | null;
junctionTargetFieldId?: SerializedRelation;
};
```
## `FormatJsonbSerializedRelation<T>`
A transformation type that processes JSONB properties for universal
entity mapping. It:
1. Detects properties with the `JsonbProperty` brand
2. Finds `SerializedRelation` properties
3. Renames them from `*Id` to `*UniversalIdentifier`
4. Removes the brand from the output type ( optional though )
```typescript
// Input: JsonbProperty<{ targetFieldMetadataId: SerializedRelation }>
// Output: { targetFieldMetadataUniversalIdentifier: SerializedRelation }
```
## Result
An example of the dynamic type mapping, through a type-test example
```ts
type SettingsTestCase = UniversalFlatFieldMetadata<
| FieldMetadataType.RELATION
| FieldMetadataType.NUMBER
| FieldMetadataType.TEXT
>['settings']
type SettingsExpectedResult =
| {
relationType: RelationType;
onDelete?: RelationOnDeleteAction | undefined;
joinColumnName?: string | null | undefined;
junctionTargetFieldUniversalIdentifier?: SerializedRelation | undefined;
}
| {
dataType?: NumberDataType | undefined;
decimals?: number | undefined;
type?: FieldNumberVariant | undefined;
}
| {
displayedMaxRows?: number | undefined;
}
| null;
type Assertions = [
Expect<Equal<SettingsTestCase, SettingsExpectedResult>>,
]
```
## Remarks
- Removed duplicated twenty-server and twenty-shared typed
- Removed class validator instances for default value that were not used
at runtime, we will refactor that to add validation across all entities
following a same pattern
# Introduction
Currently refactoring `flatEntity` typing, encountering some tsc errors
due to this fk aggregator custom override
It shall now follow generic pattern leading to be named `fieldIds`
Needs to flush object cache when released
This PR modifies our broadly used `formatResult` util to counter act
TypeORM transforming any date time to a `Date` object.
Instead we return the ISO string for any `DATE_TIME`, this way we're not
transporting Date object from one function to another in the backend.
We do this because there was problems working with events utils that
take string date time in parameters and received Date objects.
As this is a recurring problem and because it's an opinionated choice
from TypeORM, we chose to switch to string only in our codebase, from
TypeORM's output to frontend.
This PR changes the shape and logic of SSE events `DELETE` and
`RESTORE`, because they behave like `UPDATE` events in practice, they
should share the same logic.
Before this PR, it was impossible for the frontend to obtain the
`deletedAt` value, and the logic to handle soft-delete and restore would
have been flawed.
Because there is a typing confusion in the parameters of
`formatTwentyOrmEventToDatabaseBatchEvent`, due to TypeORM, we also
update this util to only accept an array of records, instead of `T |
T[]`. We should improve our TypeORM layer in the future.
Also the naming was not clear, so we clearly use `recordsAfter` and
`recordsBefore` as much as possible, because that is what we have at the
end in events.
Events are sent from their respective query builders, so these last ones
have been updated also.
Because TypeORM `soft-remove` operation only returns record ids, we add
`.getMany()` to fetch all fields for soft-removed records, so that our
event can have before and after.
## Context
- Add RLS entitlement to billing
- Check value in the backend (for RLS predicate entity
queries/mutations)
- Expose billingEntitlements to the API inside currentWorkspace to check
available features to the workspace and display the role components
accordingly
- Cleanup RLS when plan changes back to one without RLS.
This should cover almost everything, imho we don't need to check in the
ORM because => We can't create RLS without the correct PLAN and
switching back to a PLAN without RLS deletes existing RLS through
stripes webhooks
## Context
buildValueFromFilter was not handling composite filters which was needed
for RLS. This PR implements that and fix some issues with RLS
Tested with a few composite + relation fields
<img width="559" height="206" alt="Screenshot 2026-01-19 at 15 38 42"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/d64afa6e-3e12-4843-a215-a693665112c5"
/>
This PR implements SSE update events across the main components of the
application : tables, boards, calendars, show pages.
There is still work to do on other event type and on making sure
everything works fine, but this first implementation should be robust
enough to start with.
Some problems encountered along the way :
- Events are returning raw Postgres output, because they are not
normalized by the GraphQL layer, so we ended up with amountMicros as
string values, which the frontend does not like, so I implemented a
small util in our `formatResult` generic pipeline to turn amountMicros
to a number if it's a string value. We could implement other formatters
for composite fields if we see problems with events.
-`action` property was missing in SSE events, which is required by the
frontend to know what kind of event it is.
# QA
https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/393b45ac-59d2-48b0-855b-2ce9c4b8ae57https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/cb214e7a-1595-4b85-bdb6-87630993d2e2
## Context
Now that RLS predicates are applied, creating a record through the FE
(which is empty by default) is failing if your role has predicates and
your input does not respect them (which will always be true since, as
said above, input will be pretty much empty)
## Implementation
- Moved isMatching* filters to twenty-shared
- Implemented isMatchingRlsPredicates utils in the backend (ORM) to
check before insertion/update if the record is matching the current user
role Rls predicates, reusing the isMatching* filters utils moved to
twenty-shared
- Frontend now applies RLS predicates before creating a new record
(similarly to what we do with view filters)
Note:
It seems composite were not properly handled with view-filter insertion
logic, since I'm reusing the util for now, the issue remains for RLS and
will need to be addressed
# Introduction
Followup https://github.com/twentyhq/twenty/pull/16981
1/ Migration, applicationId and universalIdentifier are required on
entity ( save point migration + upgrade command fallback pattern )
2/ Backfill using previous standard ids
## Summary
This PR introduces row-level security (RLS) permissions for roles in the
frontend, allowing fine-grained access control at the record level.
Users can now define permission rules that determine which specific
records a role can access based on dynamic conditions and filters.
## What's Changed
Implemented UI for configuring record-level permissions on object
permissions screens
Added support for defining permission predicates using filter conditions
(similar to advanced filters)
Introduced variable picker for dynamic permission rules (e.g., "me"
context for user-specific access)
Built predicate conversion layer to sync UI state with backend
permission structure
Extended GraphQL schema with mutations for upserting row-level
permission predicates
Fixed handling of orphaned RLS groups to prevent data inconsistencies
Added enterprise key validation for RLS features
The implementation enables scenarios like "users can only see their own
records" or "users can access records associated with their team."

# Introduction
Followup of
https://github.com/twentyhq/twenty/pull/17001#pullrequestreview-3638508738
close https://github.com/twentyhq/core-team-issues/issues/1910
We've completely decom the `sync-metadata` in production. We're now then
removing its implementation in favor of the v2.
## TODO:
- [x] Remove sync-metadata implem and commands
- [x] Remove workspace decorators
- [x] Type each deprecated field to deprecated on their workspaceEntity
- [x] Remove the `workspace-sync-metadata` folder entirely
- [x] remove workspace migration
- [x] workspace migration removal migration
- [x] remove the `v2` references from workspace manager file names
- [x] remove the `v2` references from workspace manager modules
- [ ] Double check impact on translation file path updates
## Note
- Removed the gate logic
- Remains some service v2 naming, serverless needs to be migrated on v2
fully
- Removed workspaceMigration service app health consumption, making it
always returning up ( no more down ) cc @FelixMalfait ( quite obsolete
health check now, will require complete refactor once we introduce inter
app dependency etc )
Fixes https://github.com/twentyhq/private-issues/issues/395
When calling `removeUserFromWorkspaceAndPotentiallyDeleteWorkspace` from
`user.service`,
```
await workspaceMemberRepository.delete({
userId: userWorkspace.userId,
});
```
related database event is not emitted.
Same issue with update has been fixed
[here](https://github.com/twentyhq/twenty/pull/13287/changes)
The database event is not emitted because `await
eventSelectQueryBuilder.getOne()` in `workspace-delete-query-builder`
returns `null`. This happens because the `selectQueryBuilder` has no
entity—the database request is sent and the raw result is not `null`,
but the entity is `null`, causing the final result to be null.
It can be fixed the same way update has been fixed, updating the
`workspace-entity-manager`
- Pros : consistant with update but we should not forget to fix
softDelete and restore
- Cons : `workspace-entity-manager` is a copy of typeORM logic +
permission injection. Should it be more ?
Alternatively (as featured in this PR), it can be fixed by updating
computeEventSelectQueryBuilder, inspired by TypeORM's logic in
typeorm/query-builder/QueryBuilder.js at line 67.
- Pros : it fit with typeORM logic + It fixes all repository operations
## Context
This PR adds the core structure for RLS implementation:
- RLS data model
- RLS service layer
- RLS WorkspaceMigration and Syncable Entity + cache + Validations
- RLS resolver layer
- ORM layer with RLS Predicate to ORM WHERE clause conversion with
workspaceMember record transposition
Tests are missing though

Closes [89](https://github.com/twentyhq/core-team-issues/issues/89)
## Problem
When users attempt to create or update a record with a duplicate value
for a unique field (e.g., duplicate email or domain name), they receive
a generic error message: "This record already exists. Please check your
data and try again." This provides no actionable way to locate and view
the existing conflicting record, forcing users to manually search for
it.
## Solution
This PR enhances duplicate key constraint error handling to
automatically detect the conflicting record and display a "View existing
record" link in the error notification. When clicked, users are
navigated directly to the existing record's detail page.
## Backend Changes
### 1. PostgreSQL Error Parsing
(`parse-postgres-constraint-error.util.ts`)
- Extracts structured information from PostgreSQL `QueryFailedError`
messages.
### 2. Conflicting Record Lookup (`find-conflicting-record.util.ts`)
- Queries the database to find the existing record with the conflicting
value
### 3. Error Handling Orchestration
(`handle-duplicate-key-error.util.ts`)
- Parses PostgreSQL error to extract column name and conflicting value
- Attempts to find the conflicting record
- Enriches `TwentyORMException` with `conflictingRecordId` and
`conflictingObjectNameSingular` if found
### 4. Exception Computation Updates (`compute-twenty-orm-exception.ts`)
- Made function `async` and added optional `entityManager` and
`internalContext` parameters
- Needed to support async database queries for conflicting record lookup
### 5. GraphQL Error Handler
(`twenty-orm-graphql-api-exception-handler.util.ts`)
- **Changes**: Enhanced `DUPLICATE_ENTRY_DETECTED` case to include
`conflictingRecordId` and `conflictingObjectNameSingular` in GraphQL
error extensions
## Frontend Changes
### 1. Error Extraction Utility
(`get-conflicting-record-from-apollo-error.util.ts`)
- Accesses GraphQL error extensions
- Validates that both `conflictingRecordId` and
`conflictingObjectNameSingular` exist and are strings
- Returns `null` if validation fails
### 2. SnackBar Enhancement (`useSnackBar.ts`)
- Extracts conflicting record info from Apollo error
- Constructs URL using `getAppPath` utility
- Adds link object to snackbar options with text "View existing record"

## Context
Following https://github.com/twentyhq/twenty/pull/16399
Now using the new global orm manager everywhere and returning a
GlobalDatasource/WorkspaceDatasource based on a feature flag.
This means we now need to wrap all our ORM calls within
executeInWorkspaceContext callback (at least for now) so the global
datasource can dynamically hydrate its context via the new store (the
global datasource does not store anything related to workspaces as it is
now a unique singleton). If feature flag is off it still uses local data
stored in the workspace datasource.
- The issue is that the listener is not triggered if they are no change
to the workspaceMember (which happens when name is already filled
through GoogleSSO)
Fixes https://github.com/twentyhq/twenty/issues/16440
Changes:
- as we store date in redis as serialized, let's make all flatEntity
dates as string. This requires changing FlatEntity types and making sure
that entity are converted to flatEntity and flatEntity to dtos
In this PR:
- add more logs to troubleshoot issues in production
- use messageChannelSyncStatus in messageSync service instead of making
a manual update
## Problem
buildEntityMetadatas in GlobalWorkspaceOrmManager is computationally
expensive and was running on every executeInWorkspaceContext call. This
method uses
TypeORM's EntitySchemaTransformer and EntityMetadataBuilder to build
metadata for all workspace entities (30-50+ objects with many fields
each).
The resulting EntityMetadata[] is not serialisable which means it cannot
be cached in Redis because they contain:
- Circular references
- Functions/methods
- References to the DataSource instance
## Solution
Extended the workspace cache system to support local-only caching, then
created a cache provider for entityMetadatas.
## Implementation details
Updated @WorkspaceCache decorator (workspace-cache.decorator.ts)
- Added localOnly?: boolean option to skip Redis storage for
non-serializable data
Created WorkspaceEntityMetadatasCacheService
- Computes entity metadatas from DB to avoid race condition, this is
acceptable
Simplified GlobalWorkspaceOrmManager
- Now fetches entityMetadatas from cache instead of rebuilding on every
call
Updated Workspace migration runner - the only entry point where metadata
can change
- Now invalidate the new 'entityMetadata' local cache when
shouldIncrementMetadataGraphqlSchemaVersion is true (== field/object
mutations)
In this PR (1/3)
- introduce view.mainGroupByFieldMetadataId as the new reference
determining which fieldMetadataId is used in a grouped view, in order to
deprecate viewGroup.fieldMetadataId which creates inconsistencies.
view.mainGroupByFieldMetadataId is now filled at every view creation,
though not in use yet.
- Introduce a command to backfill view.mainGroupByFieldMetadataId for
existing views + delete all viewGroup.fieldMetadataId with a
fieldMetadataId that is not view.mainGroupByFieldMetadataId. (It should
concern 37 active workspaces)
- Temporarily disable the option to change a grouped view's
fieldMetadataId as for now it creates inconsistencies. This feature can
be reintroduced when we have done the full migration.
In a next PR
- (2/3) use view.mainGroupByFieldMetadataId instead of
viewGroup.fieldMetadataId. In FE we may keep viewGroup.fieldMetadataId
as a state (TBD). View groups will now be created / deleted as a side
effect of view's mainGroupByFieldMetadataId update.
- (3/3) remove viewGroup.fieldMetadataId

## Context
EntityMetadata was being rebuilt from scratch on every
findMetadata()/getMetadata() call (~20 times per request). This involved
running EntitySchemaTransformer.transform() and
EntityMetadataBuilder.build() repeatedly, causing unnecessary CPU
overhead.
## Implementation
Cache entityMetadatas in ORMWorkspaceContext: Build EntityMetadata once
during workspace context initialization instead of on every metadata
lookup
Remove redundant entitySchemas caching: Since flatMetadata is already
cached, the additional Redis cache for entitySchemaOptions was
unnecessary overhead
Remove WorkspaceEntitiesStorage: Replaced with direct lookup from
FlatObjectMetadataMap
Simplify getObjectMetadataFromEntityTarget: Now only accepts string
targets, using flat metadata maps directly
Also:
Removed unused injections in some services
## Context
Deprecating the old objectMetadataMap type in favour of split flat
entities to match with our new caching.
In the long run, trying to achieve:
- Better performance through caching
- Consistent data access patterns across the codebase
- Reduced database queries
Now that everything is based on flat entities, which are cached, we can
finish the refactoring of workspace context cache which should already
improve performances.
Then the last step will be to consume that new cache in the new global
datasource to get rid of the many workspace datasources stored in the
server
@charlesBochet
In workflow codebase, NULL (instead of empty object) is expected on
workflow version object step field, when a new workflow is created for
example.
(packages/twenty-front/src/modules/workflow/workflow-diagram/utils/generateWorkflowDiagram.ts
- 42)
This case is not isolated and it creates many issues.
We decided to format NULL value to equivalent (empty string for text
field, empty object for raw_json) but it seems it complicates the dev x.
To unlock @Devessier I prefer revert the logic, the time we discuss how
to solve this cases.

To do before requesting review :
- filter update
Migration to come in an other PR
Strat :
1/ Null transformation
- [x] Transform NULL equivalent value to NULL in field validation in
common api - pre-query - with feature flag
- [ ] Same logic in ORM (Not done, complex to handle feature flag here)
- [x] Transform NULL value to equivalent in data formatting in ORM -
post-query
2/ Migration (in other PR) for fieldMetadata not nullable with default
defaultValue (empty string, ...)
- [ ] Remove NOT NULL db constraint
- [ ] Update record value to NULL
- [ ] Update field metadata : isNullable:true
- [ ] Update uniqueIndex whereClause (also for standard uniqueIndex)
- [ ] Activate feature flag
3/ Update metadata creation
- [x] No more default default value
- [x] Update standard field nullability
- [x] Remove index default whereClause for standard field
4/ Update filter
- [x] When filtering on NULL or empty string, be sure all records are
returned (the one with NULL + the one with "")
5/ Test
- [ ] Strat. to do
While investigating the issue a customer was facing, I discovered that
before records and after records could be in different order, making the
orm event and timeline activity engine mix records
