## Summary
- Removes all workspace schema definitions for `Favorite` and
`FavoriteFolder` entities, which have been fully migrated to
`NavigationMenuItems`
- Deletes 26 standalone files including workspace entities, NestJS
modules, services, listeners, jobs, standard application builders (field
metadata, views, view fields, view field groups, indexes, page layouts),
mocks, and integration tests
- Cleans up ~40 modified files: removes `favorites` relation from 10
workspace entities and their field metadata utils, removes entries from
all builder maps, shared constants (`STANDARD_OBJECTS`,
`CoreObjectNameSingular`, `DEFAULT_RELATIONS_OBJECTS_STANDARD_IDS`), SDK
default relations, AI tool filtering, and standard object icons
Bug fixes exposed by always-on direct execution
1. GraphQL spec compliance — data[field] = null on resolver error
direct-execution.service.ts — Changed from Promise.allSettled (which
lost the responseKey on rejection) to Promise.all with per-field
try/catch; errors now set data[responseKey] = null per spec
2. Empty object arguments skipped (extractArgumentsFromAst)
extract-arguments-from-ast.util.ts — Removed isEmptyObject check;
filter: {}, data: {} now correctly passed to resolvers instead of
silently dropped (which caused permissions to never be checked)
3. orderBy: {} factory default treated as "no ordering"
direct-execution.service.ts — Before calling the resolver, strips
orderBy: {} and orderByForRecords: {} (empty-object factory defaults
that mean "no ordering")
assert-find-many-args.util.ts / assert-group-by-args.util.ts — Accept {}
for orderBy without throwing
4. orderBy: { field: '...' } object auto-coerced to [{ field: '...' }]
array
direct-execution.service.ts — Applies GraphQL list coercion: a
non-array, non-empty orderBy object is wrapped in an array before
assertion and resolver call
5. totalCount and aggregate fields returned as strings from PostgreSQL
graphql-format-result-from-selected-fields.util.ts — Added
coerceAggregateValue that parses numeric strings to numbers for
totalCount, sum*, avg*, min*, max*, count*, percentageOf* fields
Test updates
nested-relation-queries.integration-spec.ts — Updated expected error
message from Yoga schema-validation message to direct execution resolver
message
~30 snapshot files — Updated to reflect direct execution's error
messages (different from Yoga schema-validation messages for input type
errors)

## Fix resolver schema leaking between `/metadata` and `/graphql`
endpoints
### Summary
- Patch `@nestjs/graphql` to support a `resolverSchemaScope` option that
filters resolvers at both schema generation and runtime, preventing
cross-endpoint leaking
- Introduce `@CoreResolver()` and `@MetadataResolver()` decorators to
explicitly scope each resolver to its endpoint
- Move most resolvers (auth, billing, workspace, user, etc.) to the
metadata schema where the frontend expects them; only workflow and
timeline calendar/messaging resolvers remain on `/graphql`
- Fix frontend `SSEQuerySubscribeEffect` to use the default (metadata)
Apollo client instead of the core client
### Problem
NestJS GraphQL's module-based resolver discovery traverses transitive
imports, causing resolvers from `/metadata` modules to leak into the
`/graphql` schema and vice versa. This made the schemas unpredictable
and tightly coupled to module import order.
### Approach
- Added `resolverSchemaScope` to `GqlModuleOptions` via a patch on
`@nestjs/graphql`, filtering in both `filterResolvers()` (runtime
binding) and `getAllCtors()` (schema generation)
- Each resolver is explicitly decorated with `@CoreResolver()` or
`@MetadataResolver()`
- Organized decorator, constant, and type files under `graphql-config/`
following project conventions
Core GQL Schema: (see: no more fields!)

This PR migrates `noteTarget` and `taskTarget` to morph relations behind
separate feature flags, following the Attachment/TimelineActivity
pattern.
It introduces the `IS_NOTE_TARGET_MIGRATED` and
`IS_TASK_TARGET_MIGRATED` flags, updates standard field metadata and
indexes to use morph relations, and adds two **1.17 workspace
migrations** that:
- rename `noteTarget.*Id` / `taskTarget.*Id` columns to `target*Id`
- convert the corresponding field metadata to `MORPH_RELATION` with a
shared `morphId`
On the frontend, note/task target read and write paths switch to
`target*Id` when the respective flag is enabled. Deleted targets are
filtered on reload to prevent reappearing relations.
## Summary
- Remove `latestVersion` and `publishedVersions` columns from
`LogicFunction` entity
- Remove version parameter from logic function execution, build, and
source code retrieval
- Update all related services, DTOs, utilities, and tests
- Add database migration to drop the version columns
Closes [1744](https://github.com/twentyhq/core-team-issues/issues/1744).
This PR migrates attachments to morph relations behind a feature flag,
following the TimelineActivity pattern. it introduces the
`IS_ATTACHMENT_MIGRATED` flag, updates standard field metadata and
indexes to use morph relations, adds a workspace migration that renames
`attachment.*Id` columns to `target*Id` and converts the corresponding
field metadata to `MORPH_RELATION` with a shared `morphId`. On the
frontend, attachment read/write paths now switch to `target*Id` when the
flag is enabled.
It also fixes optimistic filtering for morph join columns. The metadata
API deduplicates morph fields, so attachments now expose a single target
field of type `MORPH_RELATION` plus a `morphRelations` array listing
each target object. Because only one `settings.joinColumnName` is
returned (e.g. `targetRocketId`), filters like `targetCompanyId` don’t
map to any field and the optimistic cache code throws.
`doesMorphRelationJoinColumnMatch` resolves this by computing all valid
join column names from `morphRelations` using
`computeMorphRelationFieldName` and comparing them to the filter key.
That makes filters like `targetCompanyId` resolvable even with a single
target field, so attachment uploads and list matching no longer crash.

/>
<br />
<br />
Today the metadata API returns one morph field called `target` and a
list of possible targets (`morphRelations`), but it does not tell us the
join column for each target. That’s why the Frontend had to compute join
column names.
If we want to fix this at the API level, there are two options:
- Add join column names to each target in `morphRelations` (e.g. company
→ `targetCompanyId`). This is additive and low‑risk.
- Return each target as its own field (`targetCompany`, `targetPerson`,
etc.) instead of a single target. This is a larger change because it
changes the shape of metadata and would require more UI updates.

## Overview
This PR implements **generic many-to-many relation support** through
junction tables (also known as associative entities or join tables).
This replaces the need for hardcoded taskTarget/noteTarget logic and
provides a flexible foundation for modeling complex entity
relationships.
## Architecture
### Data Model
Many-to-many relationships are implemented using a **junction object
pattern**:
```
┌─────────┐ ┌──────────────────┐ ┌─────────┐
│ Pet │──────>│ PetRocket │<──────│ Rocket │
│ │ 1:N │ (junction) │ N:1 │ │
│ rockets ├───────┤ pet : Pet ├───────┤ │
└─────────┘ │ rocket : Rocket │ └─────────┘
└──────────────────┘
```
The junction object (PetRocket) has:
- A `MANY_TO_ONE` relation to **Pet** (the source)
- A `MANY_TO_ONE` relation to **Rocket** (the target)
The source object (Pet) has a `ONE_TO_MANY` relation pointing to the
junction, with **field settings** that specify which target field to
follow.
### Field Settings Schema
Junction configuration is stored in `FieldMetadataRelationSettings`:
```typescript
{
relationType: "ONE_TO_MANY",
// Points to the target field on the junction object
junctionTargetFieldId?: string; // For regular relations
junctionTargetMorphId?: string; // For polymorphic relations
}
```
**Two configuration modes:**
1. **`junctionTargetFieldId`** - References a specific `RELATION` field
on the junction
2. **`junctionTargetMorphId`** - References a `morphId` group for
polymorphic targets (e.g., link to Person OR Company)
### GraphQL Query Generation
When a junction relation is detected, the GraphQL fields are generated
to fetch the nested target:
```graphql
query GetPetWithRockets {
pet(id: "...") {
rockets { # ONE_TO_MANY to junction
id
rocket { # Target field on junction
id
name
__typename
}
}
}
}
```
For polymorphic junction targets:
```graphql
caretakerPerson { id, name }
caretakerCompany { id, name }
```
## Frontend Architecture
### Display Flow
1. **Detection**: `hasJunctionConfig()` checks if field has junction
settings
2. **Config Resolution**: `getJunctionConfig()` resolves junction object
metadata and target fields
3. **Record Extraction**: `extractTargetRecordsFromJunction()` extracts
target records from junction records
4. **Rendering**: Target records displayed as chips (not junction
records)
### Edit Flow
1. **Picker Opening**: Initializes the multi-record picker with:
- Searchable object types (derived from junction target fields)
- Pre-selected items (extracted from existing junction records)
2. **Selection Handling**: Manages create/delete of junction records:
- **Select**: Creates new junction record with source + target IDs
- **Deselect**: Finds and deletes the junction record
- **Optimistic Updates**: Manually updates Recoil store before API call
### Key Trade-offs
| Decision | Trade-off |
|----------|-----------|
| Junction records managed manually | More control over optimistic
updates, but requires manual cache management |
| Settings stored per-field | Flexible (same junction can power
different views), but requires UI to configure |
| Polymorphic via morphId groups | Supports N target types, but adds
query complexity |
| Feature flag gated | Safe rollout, but requires flag management |
## Backend Changes
- **Validation**: Junction target field must exist and be a valid
`MANY_TO_ONE` relation
- **Settings**: Extended `FieldMetadataRelationSettings` type with
junction fields
- **Dev Seeder**: Added sample junction objects (PetRocket,
EmploymentHistory, PetCareAgreement) for testing
## How to Test
1. Enable the `IS_JUNCTION_RELATIONS_ENABLED` feature flag
2. Create objects with junction pattern (Pet → PetRocket → Rocket)
3. Configure the junction target in field settings (advanced mode)
4. Verify:
- Display shows target objects (Rockets), not junction records
(PetRockets)
- Picker allows selecting/deselecting targets
- Changes persist correctly

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.
https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/7afc32c6-4bcf-4b37-b83b-8d00d28dda15
Fixes [#16819](https://github.com/twentyhq/twenty/issues/16819)
Added a post-query hook (NoteDeleteOnePostQueryHook) that automatically
soft-deletes all associated noteTarget records when a note is deleted.
## Key changes:
Created `note-delete-one.post-query.hook.ts`
Uses `GlobalWorkspaceOrmManager` to access workspace entities correctly
Executes in the proper workspace context to ensure data isolation
Soft-deletes noteTarget records to maintain referential consistency
## Testing
1. Company notes
Create a Company
Create and attach a Note to the Company
Navigate to Company → Notes page (should display the note)
Delete the Note
Navigate to Company → Notes page (should no longer crash)
Restore the Note (should appear again)
Delete and destroy the Note permanently
Navigate to Company → Notes page (should still work, just empty)
2. Opportunity notes
Create an Opportunity
Create and attach a Note to the Opportunity
Navigate to Opportunity → Notes page (should display the note)
Delete the Note
Navigate to Opportunity → Notes page (should no longer crash)
Restore the Note (should appear again)
Delete and destroy the Note permanently
Navigate to Opportunity → Notes page (should still work, just empty)
### Expected behavior:
Company Notes page remains functional at all stages
No console errors
Deleted notes properly excluded from the view
Other notes on the same Company remain accessible
Additional Notes
This fix ensures data consistency by maintaining the relationship
between notes and their targets throughout the deletion lifecycle.

# Introduction
In this pull-request we introduce a service dedicated to the
twenty-standard app installation, we will later be able to re-use
existing logic to be more generic and allow any app installation.
For the moment sticking to this usage
https://github.com/twentyhq/core-team-issues/issues/1995
## Encountered issues
- We decided not to migrate deprecated fields ( also they will become
custom field for any existing workspace having them in the future )
- duplicate criteria
- wrong search index declaration
- forgotten isSearchable
- Attachement seed
- Restored standardId
## Note
For the moment we're still searching through standardId for code that
run on both existing and new workspaces.
For code running on new workspace exclusively we're searching using
universalIdentifier
We will standardize universalIdentifier usage later when we've migratred
all the existing workspaces
## Workspace creation
Will handle workspace creation the same way in another PR
Related https://github.com/twentyhq/twenty/pull/15065
## TODO
- [ ] Double all frontend hardcoded queries to not refer to deprecated
fields especially attachments
# TimelineActivity migration to morph
- Creates `timelineActivities2` relations on Company, Dashboard, Note,
Opportunity, Person, Task, Workflow, WorkflowRun, and WorkflowVersion
entities with proper metadata and cascade delete behavior.
It was required to create standard fields as well since the
mapObjectMetadataByUniqueIdentifier needs it. otherwise the fields won't
be considered
- Feature Flag `IS_TIMELINE_ACTIVITY_MIGRATED` necessary to have the two
states in parallel. It is used as a stamp once the migration has been
run
- Migration is done using the coreDataSource. Why ?
even though is unsafe to use, the first implementation of the migration
took forever on each workspace. See [this
commit](https://github.com/twentyhq/twenty/pull/15652/commits/477011e8d7d4c580f79ba7ec4a8fb002a3ec86b2)
The plan for this complex migration is as follows :
Note: we will need to rename fields in the release 1.12 (there is no
easy way to do all this in one release)
## 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
# Introduction
A while ago we migrated view from workspace to metadata
Their standard objects workspace entities declaration remained we can
now remove them
## Deprecating commands before 1.5
The view migration command from workspace to metadata was introduced in
`1.5.0`. Removing the `baseWorkspaceEntity` make this command obsolete.
If tomorrow twenty handles auto upgrade in latest and a user having an
instance in `1.3.0` starts auto-upgrading he won't be able to migrate
his views ( that's why we should not support upgrade before 1.5 anymore
here )
We will have the same use case with FavoritesFolders
# Migrate Attachment Author to CreatedBy Field
**Twill Task**: https://twill.ai/twentyhq/ENG/tasks/7
## Summary
This PR implements a migration to transition the `Attachment` object
from using an `author` relation field to using the standard `createdBy`
field, addressing issue
https://github.com/twentyhq/core-team-issues/issues/1594.
## Changes
- **Added migration command**
(`1-8-migrate-attachment-author-to-created-by.command.ts`):
- Migrates existing attachment data to use `createdBy` instead of
`author`
- Ensures data integrity during the transition to the standard field
pattern
- **Updated Attachment workspace entity**:
- Added `createdBy` relation field to the `Attachment` standard object
- Registered new field ID in `standard-field-ids.ts` constants
- **Integrated migration into upgrade pipeline**:
- Added migration module for version 1.8
- Registered in the main upgrade version command module
This change aligns the `Attachment` object with Twenty's standard field
conventions by using the built-in `createdBy` field instead of a custom
`author` field.

# Introduction
- Implementing the delete one for the new object metadata service v2.
- Handling relation fields and fields in the first place to finally
remove the object
- puting back updatedAt and createdAt in flat metadatas
- duplicate criteria addition for flat object
- removing datasource id from object metadata dto
Context :
Large PR with 600+ test files. Enable connect and disconnect logic in
createMany (upsert true) / updateOne / updateMany resolvers
- Add disconnect logic
- Gather disconnect and connect logic -> called relation nested queries
- Move logic to query builder (insert and update one) with a preparation
step in .set/.values and an execution step in .execute
- Add integration tests
Test :
- Test API call on updateMany, updateOne, createMany (upsert:true) with
connect/disconnect
Fixes: https://github.com/twentyhq/twenty/issues/13110
I'm deprecating note.body and task.body to remove confusion between body
and bodyV2
What will be left but should be done later to avoid breaking changes:
- re-add a body field in the graphql API only that points to the same
bodyV2 field in SQL (need to be handled in fields and filter for note
and task)
- (wait some time)
- remove bodyV2 field
Large PR, sorry for that. Don't hesitate to reach me to have full
context (env. 500lines for integration and unit tests)
- Add connect logic in Workspace Entity Manager
- Update QueryDeepPartialEntity type to enable dev to use connect
- Add integration test on createOne / createMany
- Add unit test to cover main utils
- Remove feature flag on connect

closes https://github.com/twentyhq/core-team-issues/issues/1147
Test was flaky because sometimes a calendar event is associated to an
account which the user does not have access to
Removing the snapshot to test the exact response value but the test is
still there (more flexible)
- Fix an issue where custom object were seeded with 2 views, and with
the wrong icon
- ACME becomes YCombinator
- Allow 2 workspaces to have different metadata seeded
- Add many seeds for messages
- Add many seeds for calendar events
- Randomize createdBy for person and companies

# What
Fully deprecate old relations because we have one bug tied to it and it
make the codebase complex
# How I've made this PR:
1. remove metadata datasource (we only keep 'core') => this was causing
extra complexity in the refactor + flaky reset
2. merge dev and demo datasets => as I needed to update the tests which
is very painful, I don't want to do it twice
3. remove all code tied to RELATION_METADATA /
relation-metadata.resolver, or anything tied to the old relation system
4. Remove ONE_TO_ONE and MANY_TO_MANY that are not supported
5. fix impacts on the different areas : see functional testing below
# Functional testing
## Functional testing from the front-end:
1. Database Reset ✅
2. Sign In ✅
3. Workspace sign-up ✅
5. Browsing table / kanban / show ✅
6. Assigning a record in a one to many / in a many to one ✅
7. Deleting a record involved in a relation ✅ => broken but not tied to
this PR
8. "Add new" from relation picker ✅ => broken but not tied to this PR
9. Creating a Task / Note, Updating a Task / Note relations, Deleting a
Task / Note (from table, show page, right drawer) ✅ => broken but not
tied to this PR
10. creating a relation from settings (custom / standard x oneToMany /
manyToOne) ✅
11. updating a relation from settings should not be possible ✅
12. deleting a relation from settings (custom / standard x oneToMany /
manyToOne) ✅
13. Make sure timeline activity still work (relation were involved
there), espacially with Task / Note => to be double checked ✅ => Cannot
convert undefined or null to object
14. Workspace deletion / User deletion ✅
15. CSV Import should keep working ✅
16. Permissions: I have tested without permissions V2 as it's still hard
to test v2 work and it's not in prod yet ✅
17. Workflows global test ✅
## From the API:
1. Review open-api documentation (REST) ✅
2. Make sure REST Api are still able to fetch relations ==> won't do, we
have a coupling Get/Update/Create there, this requires refactoring
3. Make sure REST Api is still able to update / remove relation => won't
do same
## Automated tests
1. lint + typescript ✅
2. front unit tests: ✅
3. server unit tests 2 ✅
4. front stories: ✅
5. server integration: ✅
6. chromatic check : expected 0
7. e2e check : expected no more that current failures
## Remove // Todos
1. All are captured by functional tests above, nothing additional to do
## (Un)related regressions
1. Table loading state is not working anymore, we see the empty state
before table content
2. Filtering by Creator Tim Ap return empty results
3. Not possible to add Tasks / Notes / Files from show page
# Result

## Context
- Removing search* integration tests instead of fixing them because they
will be replaced by global search very soon
- Fixed billing + add missing seeds to make them work
- Fixed integration tests not using consistently the correct "test" db
- Fixed ci not running the with-db-reset configuration due to nx
configuration being used twice for different level of the command
- Enriched .env.test
- Fixed parts where exceptions were not thrown properly and not caught
by exception handler to convert to 400 when needed
- Refactored feature flag service that had 2 different implementations
in lab and admin panel + added tests
- Fixed race condition when migrations are created at the same timestamp
and doing the same type of operation, in this case object deletion could
break because table could be deleted earlier than its relations
- Fixed many integration tests that were not up to date since the CI has
been broken for a while

Workspace Member will get their own record page in the future.
This PR lays backend changes to prepare for this:
- Settings most fields on WorkspaceMember as system fields
- Renaming workspaceMember/workspaceMemberId to
forWorkspaceMember/forWorkspaceMemberId as it conflicts with the morph
relationship, if we want to be able to add a workspace member as
favorite
