https://sonarly.com/issue/20520?type=bug Record creation fails with PERMISSION_DENIED when any field used in row-level permissions has Edit disabled, because the insert code path shares the same field-level update permission check as the update code path. Fix: Separated the `insert` case from the `update` case in `validateOperationIsPermittedOrThrow` in `permissions.utils.ts`. **Problem:** The `case 'insert':` fell through to `case 'update':`, causing both operations to run `validateUpdateFieldPermissionOrThrow`. For inserts, `updatedColumns` contains ALL columns in the SQL INSERT (derived from TypeORM's `valuesSet`), including join columns for relation fields that the user never explicitly set. If any of these fields had `canUpdate: false` (Edit disabled), the entire insert was rejected. **Fix:** The `insert` case now has its own block that: 1. Checks `canUpdateObjectRecords` (unchanged — object-level permission) 2. Validates read field permissions on returned columns (unchanged) 3. Skips `validateUpdateFieldPermissionOrThrow` — field-level update restrictions should not apply to record creation This is safe because: - Row-level security constraints are validated separately in `WorkspaceInsertQueryBuilder.validateRLSPredicatesForInsert()`, which checks that the newly created record satisfies RLS predicates (e.g., "Owner is (Me) or Owner is Empty") - The `update` case is completely unchanged and continues to enforce field-level update permissions - Users can still only create records that satisfy their RLS predicates

Why Twenty
We built Twenty for three reasons:
CRMs are too expensive, and users are trapped. Companies use locked-in customer data to hike prices. It shouldn't be that way.
A fresh start is required to build a better experience. We can learn from past mistakes and craft a cohesive experience inspired by new UX patterns from tools like Notion, Airtable or Linear.
We believe in open-source and community. Hundreds of developers are already building Twenty together. Once we have plugin capabilities, a whole ecosystem will grow around it.
