## Summary
- Fixes object `color` to use the `standardOverrides` mechanism for
standard objects, matching how `label`, `description`, and `icon`
already work
- Previously, color was written directly to the `objectMetadata.color`
column for **both** standard and custom objects, which meant user color
customizations on standard objects could be overwritten during metadata
syncs
- Custom objects continue to have `color` updated directly on the entity
(no change)
## Changes
| File | What changed |
|------|-------------|
| `object-metadata-standard-overrides-properties.constant.ts` | Added
`'color'` to `OBJECT_METADATA_STANDARD_OVERRIDES_PROPERTIES` so
`sanitizeRawUpdateObjectInput` routes color into `standardOverrides` for
standard objects |
| `resolve-object-metadata-standard-override.util.ts` | Extended to
support `'color'` as a key — handled like `icon` (no i18n/translation,
just direct override check) |
| `object-metadata.resolver.ts` | Added `@ResolveField` for `color` that
resolves through `resolveObjectMetadataStandardOverride`, matching the
existing `labelSingular`/`labelPlural`/`description`/`icon` resolve
fields |
| `flat-object-metadata-validator.service.ts` | Removed `'color'` from
`allowedOverrideKeys` for system objects since it now flows through
`standardOverrides` |
| `resolve-object-metadata-standard-override.util.spec.ts` | Added test
cases for custom object color, standard object color override, and
standard object color fallback |
| `successful-update-one-standard-object-metadata.integration-spec.ts` |
Added `'when updating color'` test case, included `color` in GraphQL
queries and `standardOverrides` fragment, reset color in `afterEach`
cleanup |
## How it works now
| Object type | Color update flow |
|---|---|
| **Custom** | Written directly to `objectMetadata.color` column |
| **Standard** | Stored in `objectMetadata.standardOverrides.color`,
resolved via `@ResolveField` at query time |
This is identical to how `label`, `description`, and `icon` have always
worked.
## Test plan
- [x] Unit tests pass
(`resolve-object-metadata-standard-override.util.spec.ts` — 21 tests)
- [x] Typecheck passes (`npx nx typecheck twenty-server`)
- [x] Lint passes (`npx nx lint:diff-with-main twenty-server`)
- [ ] Integration test snapshot regenerates correctly
(`successful-update-one-standard-object-metadata`)
- [ ] Verify standard object color editing from sidebar persists via
`standardOverrides`
- [ ] Verify custom object color editing from sidebar persists directly
on entity
