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.
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.
In this PR :
- New field type FieldMetadataType.FILES added (as jsonb in DB)
- Backend: GraphQL types, validation, REST API schema, data processor
handling
- Frontend: field configuration in settings
- Feature flag IS_FILES_FIELD_ENABLED to gate the feature
- Integration tests for create/filter validation
- Dev seed: Feature flag enabled + FILES field on survey result object
To do in next PRs :
- Backend :
-- new workspaceFile controller (for download) & new workspaceFile
upload resolver (for upload)
-- pre-hook/post-hook to ensure fileId existence + listener to ensure
cleaning
- Frontend : FILES field display/edit in table view, record, ...
Upgraded to Storybook 10. We still use `@storybook/test-runner` for
testing since it appears it'd require more work to move from Jest to
Vitest than I initially anticipated, but I completed this PR to fix
`storybook:serve:dev` - it takes time to load, but it works the way it
used to with Storybook 8.

@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
