This PR implements the necessary tools to have `react-datepicker`
calendar and our date picker components work reliably no matter the
timezone difference between the user execution environment and the user
application timezone.
Fixes https://github.com/twentyhq/core-team-issues/issues/1781
This PR won't cover everything needed to have Twenty handle timezone
properly, here is the follow-up issue :
https://github.com/twentyhq/core-team-issues/issues/1807
# Features in this PR
This PR brings a lot of features that have to be merged together.
- DATE field type is now handled as string only, because it shouldn't
involve timezone nor the JS Date object at all, since it is a day like a
birthday date, and not an absolute point in time.
- DATE_TIME field wasn't properly handled when the user settings
timezone was different from the system one
- A timezone abbreviation suffix has been added to most DATE_TIME
display component, only when the timezone is different from the system
one in the settings.
- A lot of bugs, small features and improvements have been made here :

# Handling of timezones
## Essential concepts
This topic is so complex and easy to misunderstand that it is necessary
to define the precise terms and concepts first. It resembles character
encoding and should be treated with the same care.
- Wall-clock time : the time expressed in the timezone of a user, it is
distinct from the absolute point in time it points to, much like a
pointer being a different value than the value that it points to.
- Absolute time : a point in time, regardless of the timezone, it is an
objective point in time, of course it has to be expressed in a given
timezone, because we have to talk about when it is located in time
between humans, but it is in fact distinct from any wall clock time, it
exists in itself without any clock running on earth. However, by
convention the low-level way to store an absolute point in time is in
UTC, which is a timezone, because there is no way to store an absolute
point in time without a referential, much like a point in space cannot
be stored without a referential.
- DST : Daylight Save Time, makes the timezone shift in a specific
period every year in a given timezone, to make better use of longer days
for various reasons, not all timezones have DST. DST can be 1 hour or 30
min, 45 min, which makes computation difficult.
- UTC : It is NOT an “absolute timezone”, it is the wall-clock time at
0° longitude without DST, which is an arbitrary and shared human
convention. UTC is often used as the standard reference wall-clock time
for talking about absolute point in time without having to do timezone
and DST arithmetic. PostgreSQL stores everything in UTC by convention,
but outputs everything in the server’s SESSION TIMEZONE.
## How should an absolute point in time be stored ?
Since an absolute point in time is essentially distinct from its
timezone it could be stored in an absolute way, but in practice it is
impossible to store an absolute point in time without a referential. We
have to say that a rocket launched at X given time, in UTC, EST, CET,
etc. And of course, someone in China will say that it launched at 10:30,
while in San Francisco it will have launched at 19:30, but it is THE
SAME absolute point in time.
Let’s take a related example in computer science with character
encoding. If a text is stored without the associated encoding table, the
correct meaning associated to the bits stored in memory can be lost
forever. It can become impossible for a program to guess what encoding
table should be used for a given text stored as bits, thus the glitches
that appeared a lot back in the early days of internet and document
processing.
The same can happen with date time storing, if we don’t have the
timezone associated with the absolute point in time, the information of
when it absolutely happened is lost.
It is NOT necessary to store an absolute point in time in UTC, it is
more of a standard and practical wall-clock time to be associated with
an absolute point in time. But an absolute point in time MUST be store
with a timezone, with its time referential, otherwise the information of
when it absolutely happened is lost.
For example, it is easier to pass around a date as a string in UTC, like
`2024-01-02T00:00:00Z` because it allows front-end and back-end code to
“talk” in the same standard and DST-free wall-clock time, BUT it is not
necessary. Because we have date libraries that operate on the standard
ISO timezone tables, we can talk in different timezone and let the
libraries handle the conversion internally.
It is false to say that UTC is an absolute timezone or an absolute point
in time, it is just the standard, conventional time referential, because
one can perfectly store every absolute points in time in UTC+10 with a
complex DST table and have the exactly correct absolute points in time,
without any loss of information, without having any UTC+0 dates
involved.
Thus storing an absolute point in time without a timezone associated,
for example with `timestamp` PostgreSQL data type, is equivalent to
storing a wall-clock time and then throwing away voluntarily the
information that allows to know when it absolutely happened, which is a
voluntary data-loss if the code that stores and retrieves those
wall-clock points in time don’t store the associated timezone somewhere.
This is why we use `timestamptz` type in PostgreSQL, so that we make
sure that the correct absolute point in time is stored at the exact time
we send it to PostgreSQL server, no matter the front-end, back-end and
SQL server's timezone differences.
## The JavaScript Date object
The native JavaScript Date object is now officially considered legacy
([source](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Date)),
the Date object stores an absolute point in time BUT it forces the
storage to use its execution environment timezone, and one CANNOT modify
this timezone, this is a legacy behavior.
To obtain the desired result and store an absolute point in time with an
arbitrary timezone there are several options :
- The new Temporal API that is the successor of the legacy Date object.
- Moment / Luxon / @date-fns/tz that expose objects that allow to use
any timezone to store an absolute point in time.
## How PostgreSQL stores absolute point in times
PostgreSQL stores absolute points in time internally in UTC
([source](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/datatype-datetime.html#DATATYPE-DATETIME-INPUT-TIME-STAMPS)),
but the output date is expressed in the server’s session timezone
([source](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/sql-set.html)) which
can be different from UTC.
Example with the object companies in Twenty seed database, on a local
instance, with a new “datetime” custom column :
<img width="374" height="554" alt="image"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/4394cb43-d97e-4479-801d-ca068f800e39"
/>
<img width="516" height="524" alt="image"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/b652f36a-d2e2-47a4-8950-647ca688cbbd"
/>
## Why can’t I just use the JavaScript native Date object with some
manual logic ?
Because the JavaScript Date object does not allow to change its internal
timezone, the libraries that are based on it will behave on the
execution environment timezone, thus leading to bugs that appear only on
the computers of users in a timezone but not for other in another
timezone.
In our case the `react-datepicker` library forces to use the `Date`
object, thus forcing the calendar to behave in the execution environment
system timezone, which causes a lot of problems when we decide to
display the Twenty application DATE_TIME values in another timezone than
the user system one, the bugs that appear will be of the off-by-one date
class, for example clicking on 23 will select 24, thus creating an
unreliable feature for some system / application timezone combinations.
A solution could be to manually compute the difference of minutes
between the application user and the system timezones, but that’s not
reliable because of DST which makes this computation unreliable when DST
are applied at different period of the year for the two timezones.
## Why can’t I compute the timezone difference manually ?
Because of DST, the work to compute the timezone difference reliably,
not just for the usual happy path, is equivalent to developing the
internal mechanism of a date timezone library, which is equivalent to
use a library that handles timezones.
## Using `@date-fns/tz` to solve this problem
We could have used `luxon` but it has a heavy bundle size, so instead we
rely here on `@date-fns/tz` (~1kB) which gives us a `TZDate` object that
allows to use any given timezone to store an absolute point-in-time.
The solution here is to trick `react-datepicker` by shifting a Date
object by the difference of timezone between the user application
timezone and the system timezone.
Let’s take a concerte example.
System timezone : Midway, ⇒ UTC-11:00, has no DST.
User application timezone : Auckland, NZ ⇒ UTC+13:00, has a DST.
We’ll take the NZ daylight time, so that will make a timezone difference
of 24 hours !
Let’s take an error-prone date : `2025-01-01T00:00:00` . This date is
usually a good test-case because it can generate three classes of bugs :
off-by-one day bugs, off-by-one month bugs and off-by-one year bugs, at
the same time.
Here is the absolute point in time we take expressed in the different
wall-clock time points we manipulate
Case | In system timezone ⇒ UTC-11 | In UTC | In user application
timezone ⇒ UTC+13
-- | -- | -- | --
Original date | `2024-12-31T00:00:00-11:00` | `2024-12-31T11:00:00Z` |
`2025-01-01T00:00:00+13:00`
Date shifted for react-datepicker | `2025-01-01T00:00:00-11:00` |
`2025-01-01T11:00:00Z` | `2025-01-02T00:00:00+13:00`
We can see with this table that we have the number part of the date that
is the same (`2025-01-01T00:00:00`) but with a different timezone to
“trick” `react-datepicker` and have it display the correct day in its
calendar.
You can find the code in the hooks
`useTurnPointInTimeIntoReactDatePickerShiftedDate` and
`useTurnReactDatePickerShiftedDateBackIntoPointInTime` that contain the
logic that produces the above table internally.
## Miscellaneous
Removed FormDateFieldInput and FormDateTimeFieldInput stories as they do
not behave the same depending of the execution environment and it would
be easier to put them back after having refactored FormDateFieldInput
and FormDateTimeFieldInput

For the variables orderBy (for findMany and groupBy), groupBy (for
groupBy) and orderByForRecords (for groupBy), we were wrongfully adding
the foreign key field (eg: pointOfContact) by its joinColumnName (eg:
pointOfContactId) as the variable key (eg. `orderBy: { pointOfContactId:
"AscNullsFirst" } }`. That broke because then this key is used to
identify the field in the parsers.
This went unnoticed because this order / group option is not very
interesting as it is limited to the id for now, but it s still better to
have it work than crash!

groupBy fix: when a group's dimension value is NULL, we need to adapt
the raw sql (stage: NULL -> stage IS NULL)
typeMapper fix: a graphql type should be made non-nullable if was
indicated so + does not have a default value. our check on not having a
default value was limited to having a null defaultValue instead of
having a null or undefined defaultValue. This is a breaking change, but
all the queries that were providing a null value for these args were not
functioning anyway, and luckily in the FE we declared all queries adding
a `!` already.
To be done in an other PR, move graphql-query-runner handlers in
common-api-query-runner folder (+ renaming + typing improvments)
Fixes :
- totalCount on findMany (Rest)
- getAllSelectedFields did not handle composite field (Rest)
- issue with endCursor (Rest)
- args processing for updateOne and createOne (Rest + Gql)
- fix findDuplicates (Gql)
Soft deletion events use before in event properties. But we set the
after instead, that only contains a few data.
Fixes https://github.com/twentyhq/twenty/issues/15120
Debugging raised an additional issue. UpdateMany, RestoreMany and
SoftDeleteMany were broken for custom objects. The `where` clause was
using "_objectName.id" instead of "objectName.id" during select. That's
why we need to use different where clause between the select of the
existing value and the actual mutation.

Done ⬇️
Gql : move delete and destroy logic to common
Rest :
- rename 'delete' handler to 'destroy'
- create soft delete handlers (named 'delete') : one and many
- create destroy many handler
- update doc
--> Rest api gains NEW soft delete one/many + destroy many capabilities
closes : https://github.com/twentyhq/core-team-issues/issues/1579
- Use aggregate operations in the widget configuration instead of
extended aggregate operations
- Use aggregate operation from generated graphql in the frontend
## Description
Fixes#15160
- Moved the reserved subdomains to a separate shared constant file:
`packages/twenty-server/src/engine/core-modules/workspace/constants/reserved-subdomains.constant.ts`
- Updated the validation while generating subdomain to check if the
extracted subdomain (from email or display name) is reserved
- When a reserved subdomain is detected, the server will automatically
fall back to a random subdomain

Implements permission intersection (AND logic) to prevent permission
escalation when agents act on behalf of users.
### Changes:
- **Permission Intersection**: Operations requiring both user AND agent
permissions
- **RoleContext Type**: Unified type supporting single `roleId` or
multiple `roleIds` for intersection
- **CRUD Services**: Updated to accept `roleContext` for granular
permission control
- **Agent Integration**: Chat agents now use user + agent role
intersection for all operations
- **ORM Layer**: Enhanced `getRepository` to support multi-role
permission checks

I had an issue with invalid UUIDs, and I think it would be easier to
find the offending one if the UUID were included in the error message.

Closes https://github.com/twentyhq/core-team-issues/issues/1563.
We now have two inter-group orderBy criteria: one on the aggregate
values, the other on the dimension values.
Ex: I am grouping companies by city and querying the average number of
employees for each group. I can either order the groups by the city
name, or by the average number of employees, or by one then the other.
I could actually also order groups by an aggregated value that I did not
ask for (ex: average ARR), but I cannot order groups by a field value I
did not group records by (ex: country).
[See discord
discussion](https://discord.com/channels/1130383047699738754/1425438213555753050/1425438223097921659)
An example of query variables:
```
{
"groupBy": [
{
"createdAt": {
"granularity": "QUARTER_OF_THE_YEAR"
}
},
{"city": true}
],
"orderBy": [
{
"aggregate": {
"avgEmployees": "DescNullsLast"
}
},
{
"aggregate": {
"percentyEmptyEmployees": "DescNullsLast"
}
},
{
"city": "AscNullsLast"
},
{
"createdAt": {
"orderBy": "AscNullsLast",
"granularity": "QUARTER_OF_THE_YEAR",
}
}
]
}
```
The aggregate orderBy criteria had already been implemented, but I
updated the implementation to add an "aggregate" key to prefix them, in
order to avoid confusion between the two + for the schema generation not
to break (otherwise we would have an issue when generating
OrderByWithGroupByInput if a user has created a field that has the same
name as an aggregate field, such as avgEmployees).
This big PR implements table virtualization with an offset paging,
allowing a way more fluid UX.
It is a v1 that should be improved in the future with partial data
loading and optimization of the browser display performance of a row.
But with this PR we have the solid enough technical foundation, both
frontend and backend, to get to a smooth table UX.
Fixes and improvements after first successful round of development
(needed to have main clean) :
- [x] Delete should refresh virtualized portion only and reset all table
- [x] Fix add new : top and bottom
- [x] Table empty shouldn’t show when first loading
- [x] Fix d&d
- [x] Fix sorts
- [x] Fix drag when scrolling after a full virtual page (it throws an
error)
- [x] Si update mais qu’on a un sort ou filter, alors il faut trigger le
refresh
- [x] Reset scroll position between tables
- [x] Reset scroll shadows between tables
- [x] Setup d&n for virtual list :
https://github.com/hello-pangea/dnd/blob/main/docs/patterns/virtual-lists.md
- [x] Full table re-render when entering edit mode
- [x] Clean code and prepare for merge
Fixes https://github.com/twentyhq/core-team-issues/issues/1613 that
contains other bugs to be fixed before merge

# Introduction
Preparing view-filter and view-group introduction in v2 core engine
Moving view from `core-modules` to `metadata-modules`
## What happened
### Created dedicated modules for each view entity:
- ViewFieldModule
- ViewFilterModule
- ViewFilterGroupModule
- ViewGroupModule
- ViewSortModule
### Each module is now completely independent with its own:
- Controller
- Resolver
- Service
- Entity
### Created dedicated abstraction metadata module folder for:
- flat-view-field
- flat-view
### Dependencies
- Eleminated circular dep on ViewModule to all others ones
- Granular import not importing the whole viewModule anymore everywhere
close https://github.com/twentyhq/core-team-issues/issues/1703
closes https://github.com/twentyhq/core-team-issues/issues/1418
Tested :
- findOne on Rest and Gql
### Vision
#### Common
- Common is kind of renamed Gql base resolver
- Common handles args (filter, values, ...) validation
- Common accepts depth or raw gql selected fields to compute
selectedFields
- Common is directly called by each CommonQueries (findOne, ...)
service, which extend CommonBaseQuery service
- Common sequence :
| - Parse & Validate args (args-handlers, to create)
| - Build query (query-parsers : currently in gql-query-parsers, to
move)
| - Execute query
| - Fetch relation + format
#### Rest
- Simple parsing (without metadata validation)
- Calling Common API
- Simple rest response formatting
#### Gql
- Calling Common API
Following https://github.com/twentyhq/twenty/pull/14869
Dynamically clearing the cache, as one entry was forgotten
It seems like a permission test deletes a role that's expected to be
existing in following tests, as now cache is getting invalidated tests
are failing
Seems to be related to
https://discord.com/channels/1130383047699738754/1423768505911869460
## Singleton local cache key collision
When set for the first time caches local keys looks like
`workspaceId:undefined", singleton is shared between several cache
instances
If the given key is undefined it will read on other entity cache entry.
Updates of the hello-world application
- remove the old hello-world application
- adds an object "postCard"
- adds a serverlessFunction `create-new-post-card` that calls the twenty
api to create a new postCard record
- add a route trigger /post-card/create?recipient=John
## Improvements
- Add logs to all gql operations and rest calls to help debug CPU issues
on the backend. These are temporary and should be removed
- Remove nested relations from workflowVersions load (used to add manual
triggers in the side bar). On some workspaces this call result in a
response of 4MB which is heavy on CPU
- Investigated Redis Usage ==> made a few improvements, we are should
still migrate to the new cache service once available
- investigated db calls in messaging / calendar fetch list + workflow
enqueue run cron jobs. Everything seems to be properly batched
This PR is the first part of the creation of the Chart editor.
https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/8b0af8ea-be41-4506-84cb-e40f5521cbf0
Done:
- Bar chart settings (except filters)
- Line chart settings (except filters)
In progress:
- Pie chart settings
- Number chart settings
- Gauge chart settings
Left to do:
- Loosen the backend validation to allow the user to save a partial
configuration, validate the graph configuration in the frontend and
display a error friendly message in the graph if the config is not
completed yet
- Implement the filter edition
- Finish the other graph types settings
