# UI capability flags: `isUIEditable` + `isUICreatable`
## Per-verb capability model
This PR replaces the negative `isUIReadOnly` metadata flag with
positive, per-verb capability flags (à la Salesforce
`createable`/`updateable`):
- **`isUIEditable: boolean`, default `true`** — rename of `isUIReadOnly`
with inverted polarity, on **both** `objectMetadata` and
`fieldMetadata`. It is one concept ("can the user edit this through the
generic UI?") at two altitudes, so it carries one name at both levels.
- **`isUICreatable: boolean`, default `true`** — new, **object-level
only** (fields have no create verb). When `false`, no generic UI
affordance to create a record of this object appears anywhere (table "+"
buttons, board column add, calendar add, relation-section "Add new",
record picker "Add new", command-menu create action and its keyboard
shortcut).
Both flags are **UI-affordance flags only**: the server does not block
create/edit mutations based on them, so the system, API, and workflows
continue to mutate these records freely. They are orthogonal statements
about the object's nature with no implication rule in the data model.
Because today's inline creation UX creates a blank record the user must
then edit, the frontend create predicate currently requires both
`isUICreatable` and effective editability.
There is no CREATE permission in `ObjectPermissions`; the frontend keeps
gating creation on `canUpdateObjectRecords` as a proxy, ANDed with the
new flags.
## Unified create predicate
All generic creation entry points now flow through one predicate,
`canCreateRecordsForObjectMetadataItem` (`isUICreatable` && not
`isSystem` && not effectively read-only, where effective read-only
covers `isUIEditable`, `isRemote`, and the `canUpdateObjectRecords`
proxy via `isObjectMetadataReadOnly`). This deletes the previously
hardcoded suppression lists:
- `isRecordTableCreateDisabled.ts` and its hardcoded
`WorkflowRun`/`WorkflowVersion` list — deleted; those objects (plus
`workspaceMember`) now declare `isUICreatable: false` in the standard
application instead.
- The hardcoded `workspaceMember` guard inside
`useAddNewRecordAndOpenSidePanel.ts` — deleted.
- The `CREATE_NEW_RECORD` command menu item's availability expression
now checks `objectMetadataItem.isUICreatable`, `isUIEditable`,
`isSystem`, and `isRemote`; a workspace upgrade command re-syncs the
expression in existing workspaces.
Component-local conditions (soft-delete filter active, layout
customization mode) stay in their components.
## GraphQL compatibility and removal plan
The schema delta versus main is **purely additive plus deprecations —
zero breaking changes**:
- `isUIReadOnly` remains on both the ObjectMetadata and FieldMetadata
GraphQL output types for **one release** as a deprecated field computed
as `!isUIEditable` (`deprecationReason: 'Use isUIEditable'`). The Twenty
frontend no longer queries it.
- `isUIReadOnly` also remains on the **input side** for one release
(`CreateFieldInput`, `UpdateFieldInput`, `FieldFilter`, `ObjectFilter`),
keeping the schema shape identical to main for those members. On create
it acts as a legacy alias mapped to `!isUIReadOnly` (`isUIEditable` wins
when both are provided); on update it is ignored, exactly as on main (it
was never an editable property). Filtering on the deprecated member
keeps working until the column is dropped at upgrade time; after that it
is a deprecated no-op surface kept only for schema compatibility.
**Removal plan for next release: drop `isUIReadOnly` from the output
DTOs (and resolvers' `@ResolveField`s), from the input/filter types,
from the create-input mapping, and the `@WasRemovedInUpgrade`-retained
entity columns and decorators.**
## ⚠️ Webhook / database-event payload shape change
The `database-event-payload` type in `twenty-shared` got a clean rename
(no alias): metadata snapshots in webhook and database-event payloads
now carry `isUIEditable` (and `isUICreatable` at object level) **instead
of** `isUIReadOnly`, with inverted polarity. Consumers of these payloads
that read `isUIReadOnly` must switch to `isUIEditable`.
## New manifest properties (app-developer DX)
Application developers can now set these flags in their app manifests
(purely additive — existing manifests and older `twenty-sdk` versions
are unaffected, defaults apply when omitted):
- `objects[].isUICreatable?: boolean` (default `true`)
- `objects[].isUIEditable?: boolean` (default `true`)
- `fields[].isUIEditable?: boolean` (default `true`)
The manifest converters previously hardcoded `isUIReadOnly: false`; they
now read the manifest values with `?? true` defaults. The types are
re-exported through `twenty-sdk` from `twenty-shared`.
## Migration & backfill
- One fast instance command: adds `isUIEditable` (NOT NULL default
`true`) on `core."objectMetadata"` and `core."fieldMetadata"`, backfills
`isUIEditable = false` exactly where `isUIReadOnly = true`, drops
`isUIReadOnly`, and adds `isUICreatable` (default `true`) on
`objectMetadata`. The `down` is the exact inverse. Uses `ADD/DROP COLUMN
IF (NOT) EXISTS`, matching the 2-12 drop-`isCustom` precedent. Verified
up and down in separate transactions against a dev database with exact
backfill counts.
- **Cross-version upgrade safety (multi-version self-hosted jumps):**
the upgrade sequence interleaves per version (instance → workspace
commands), so pre-2.13 workspace commands run **before** the 2.13 rename
when an old instance jumps several versions. Following the `isCustom`
precedent: `isUIEditable`/`isUICreatable` are marked
`@WasIntroducedInUpgrade` and `isUIReadOnly` stays on both entities as
`@WasRemovedInUpgrade`, so the upgrade-aware entity metadata adapter
hides the not-yet-existing columns (and keeps the legacy column live) at
pre-2.13 cursors. **No committed upgrade command outside the 2-13
directory is modified**: the old 1-21/2-8/2-9 commands keep their
original `isUIReadOnly: true` inputs, which still compile (entity
property retained, deprecated create-input alias mapped) and still
produce the correct legacy column writes pre-rename.
- A 2-13 workspace command (`sync-standard-ui-capability-flags`)
re-syncs `isUICreatable` **and** `isUIEditable` on standard objects and
`isUIEditable` on standard fields from the standard-application
definitions. This backfills `isUICreatable: false` on
`workflowRun`/`workflowVersion`/`workspaceMember` and heals fields
created mid-cross-upgrade by pre-2.13 commands (whose hidden
`isUIEditable` value cannot reach the insert). Both 2-13 sync commands
pass `isSystemBuild: true` — the flat metadata validator otherwise
rejects direct updates to system objects (verified against a
deliberately drifted dev database; the run is idempotent).
- A second 2-13 workspace command re-syncs the create-record command
availability expression.
## Testing
- Unit tests for `canCreateRecordsForObjectMetadataItem`
(flag/permission/system combinations) and for the manifest converters
(flags set / omitted → defaults).
- Full `upgrade --dry-run` boots the sequence (107 steps) and validates
the upgrade-aware decorator references; both 2-13 sync commands verified
end to end against real drift and re-run idempotently.
- Schema verified by live introspection after the input-alias restore:
all four input/filter members match main, output deprecations intact;
frontend metadata types and `twenty-client-sdk` schema regenerated from
the running server.
- Read-only-related and touched jest suites pass on both packages;
typecheck and lint pass on `twenty-server` and `twenty-front`.

## Description
Promotes the next-gen UI library (formerly `twenty-new-ui`) to the name
**`twenty-ui`** (v0.1.0, publishable) and renames the old package to
**`twenty-ui-deprecated`**. Rewrites ~1,730 `twenty-ui` imports →
`twenty-ui-deprecated`, updates all configs/CI/Docker/deps, and migrates
twenty-front's `Toggle` to the new package (first consumer) as a
drop-in.
## Next steps
- Wire the `ui/v*` publish dispatch (`cd-deploy-tag.yaml` +
`.yarnrc.yml`), then tag `ui/v0.1.0` to publish.
- Continue migrating components from `twenty-ui-deprecated` →
`twenty-ui`.
**Stacked on #20527**
https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/48995655-401a-4c35-8094-e88da8408bdd
## Summary
Surfaces the one-hop relation traversal added in #20527 through the
existing **composite sub-field dropdown pattern**. Clicking a
MANY_TO_ONE relation field in the "+ Filter" picker now opens the same
second-level dropdown that composite fields (FULL_NAME, ADDRESS,
CURRENCY, etc.) already use — populated with the target object's
filterable fields. Picking one (e.g. `Company → Name`) builds a filter
that serializes to the nested GraphQL filter the backend now accepts: `{
company: { name: { ilike: "%X%" } } }`.
No new components. The whole feature reuses
`AdvancedFilterSubFieldSelectMenu` + the existing
`subFieldNameUsedInDropdownComponentState` + the existing `MenuItem
hasSubMenu` indicator. Only the conditions that gate the sub-menu (and
the sub-menu's content for relations) were broadened.
## What landed
| File | Change |
|---|---|
| `ObjectFilterDropdownFilterSelectMenuItem` | Sub-menu chevron now
shows on MANY_TO_ONE relations (`isManyToOneRelationField` util). |
| `AdvancedFilterFieldSelectMenu` | Relation clicks open the sub-menu
alongside composite clicks. |
| `AdvancedFilterSubFieldSelectMenu` | New branch: when the sub-menu
type is `'RELATION'`, render the target object's filterable fields via
`useFilterableFieldMetadataItems(targetObjectMetadataId)`. Composite
logic untouched. |
| `objectFilterDropdownSubMenuFieldType` state | Widened to accept a
`'RELATION'` sentinel. Role-permissions sub-field menu narrows it back
out (it doesn't traverse relations). |
| `useSelectFieldUsedInAdvancedFilterDropdown` | New optional
`targetFieldMetadataItem` arg. When present, the stored RecordFilter's
`type` is the target field's type so the operand picker and value input
render the target's operands (`'TEXT'` operators when filtering
`company.name`, etc.). |
| `turnRecordFilterIntoGqlOperationFilter` (shared) | When the filter
targets a `RELATION` field with a `subFieldName`, synthesize a
field-metadata for the target, recurse to build the inner filter, then
wrap it under the relation field's name → `{ relationName: {
targetFieldName: { ...operator } } }`. |
`RecordFilter.subFieldName` stays narrowly typed as
`CompositeFieldSubFieldName` so the wide downstream consumers
(`shouldShowFilterTextInput`, composite handlers in the serializer,
etc.) don't change. The relation target field's name is stored through a
narrowly-scoped cast at the dropdown's storage point — the serializer
checks `filter.type === 'RELATION'` before interpreting it as a target
field name, so the cast can't be mis-read by composite-only code paths.
## Test plan
- [ ] Open a table view on People, click "+ Filter", click "Company" →
sub-menu opens with Company's filterable fields
- [ ] Pick "Name" → operand picker shows TEXT operators (Contains,
Equals, …)
- [ ] Type "Airbnb" → filter applies, table shows people whose company
name contains "Airbnb"
- [ ] Verify network tab: the GraphQL filter variable is `{ company: {
name: { ilike: "%Airbnb%" } } }`
- [ ] Same flow with a composite target field (e.g. `Company →
annualRecurringRevenue → amountMicros`) — should work end-to-end
(backend supports composite-within-relation; #20527 has an integration
test covering this)
- [ ] Composite fields (FULL_NAME, ADDRESS) still open their normal
sub-menu and filter correctly — no regression
- [ ] Role-permissions field-select sub-field menu is unaffected (it
bails out early on the RELATION sentinel)
## Out of scope
- ONE_TO_MANY traversal (no backend support yet)
- Aggregates (`people.count > 5`)
- Persisting relation-traversal filters into a saved view (ViewFilter
has no `relationPath` column yet; that's a separate slice)
- REST API DSL changes
- AI Tools

## Summary
Lets users choose which sub-field of a composite column to sort by —
directly from the sort chip — by clicking the sub-field label and
picking from a dropdown. Persists per view via a new nullable
\`subFieldName\` column on \`ViewSort\`.
Replaces #20438, which proposed a field-settings (admin) configuration
for the same problem. The chip-level approach is more discoverable (the
option lives where the user is looking) and per-view, so different views
on the same object can sort by different sub-fields.
### What changes for users
- **FullName columns**: previously sorted by \`firstName\` and
\`lastName\` together as a stable dual-key sort. Now the user can pick
which sub-field is primary (the other is the tie-breaker). Default
remains \`firstName\` primary, \`lastName\` tie-breaker.
- **Address columns**: previously not sortable at all (not in
\`SORTABLE_FIELD_METADATA_TYPES\`). Now sortable, with a chip dropdown
listing each enabled sub-field. Default is \`addressCity\` if enabled,
else the first enabled sub-field. Disabling a sub-field at the
field-metadata level (existing setting) removes it from the dropdown.
- **Other composite types** (Currency, Phones, Emails, Links, Actor) and
scalar fields keep their existing single-key sort behavior.
### UX
```
┌─────────────────────────┐ ┌─────────────────────────┐
│ ↑ Name · Last name ✕ │ │ ↑ Address · City ✕ │
└────────┬────────────────┘ └────────┬────────────────┘
▼ (click sub-field) ▼
┌────────────┐ ┌────────────┐
│ First name │ │ Address 1 │
│ Last name ✓│ │ Address 2 │
└────────────┘ │ City ✓│
│ State │
│ Postcode │
│ Country │
└────────────┘
```
The chip body still toggles direction on click — the \`Dropdown\`'s
internal wrapper calls \`stopPropagation\` so the sub-field click
doesn't bubble to the chip's onClick.
## What changed
**Backend:**
- \`ViewSortEntity\` — new nullable \`subFieldName: varchar\` column
- \`ViewSortDTO\`, \`CreateViewSortInput\`,
\`UpdateViewSortInputUpdates\` — new \`@Field(() => String, { nullable:
true })\`
- \`FLAT_VIEW_SORT_EDITABLE_PROPERTIES\` — \`'subFieldName'\` added so
the property flows through the update merge path
- \`ALL_ENTITY_PROPERTIES_CONFIGURATION_BY_METADATA_NAME.viewSort\` —
new \`subFieldName\` entry with \`toCompare: true\` so cache diffs
notice it
- \`fromCreateViewSortInputToFlatViewSortToCreate\` — threads
\`subFieldName\` through
- Instance command migration (\`add-sub-field-name-to-view-sort\`) —
single \`ALTER TABLE core.viewSort ADD subFieldName varchar\` / \`DROP\`
**Frontend:**
- \`RecordSort\` and \`ViewSort\` types — \`subFieldName?: string |
null\`
- \`VIEW_SORT_FRAGMENT\` — adds \`subFieldName\` so the field
round-trips
- \`mapRecordSortToViewSort\` + \`areViewSortsEqual\` — carry the new
field through, include it in the diff so the usual
\`useSaveRecordSortsToViewSorts\` create/update flow fires when it
changes
- \`useSaveRecordSortsToViewSorts\` — passes \`subFieldName\` in both
\`CreateViewSortInput\` and \`UpdateViewSortInputUpdates\`
- \`getOrderByForFieldMetadataType(field, direction, subFieldName?)\` —
new optional third arg. \`turnSortsIntoOrderBy\` threads
\`sort.subFieldName\` into it.
- \`Address\` added to \`SORTABLE_FIELD_METADATA_TYPES\`
- New helpers: \`getEnabledAddressSubFields\` (filters by the field's
\`subFields\` setting, falls back to the 6 default visible address
sub-fields), \`getDefaultSortSubFieldForAddress\`,
\`getDefaultSortSubFieldForFullName\`
- New shared types/constants: \`AllowedFullNameSubField\`,
\`ALLOWED_FULL_NAME_SUBFIELDS\`, \`DEFAULT_VISIBLE_ADDRESS_SUBFIELDS\`
- \`SortOrFilterChip\` — new \`labelSubField?: ReactNode\` slot; renders
as \` · {sub-field}\` with subdued weight after the main label
- \`EditableSortChip\` — builds options from field metadata
(\`ALLOWED_FULL_NAME_SUBFIELDS\` for FullName,
\`getEnabledAddressSubFields\` for Address), uses i18n-wrapped labels,
persists picks via \`upsertRecordSort\`
## Test plan
- [x] \`npx nx typecheck\` passes for twenty-shared, twenty-front,
twenty-server
- [x] \`oxlint --type-aware\` on all 19 frontend + 9 server changed
files: 0 errors
- [x] \`prettier --check\`: clean
- [x] 16 unit tests pass — \`getOrderByForFieldMetadataType\` covers the
new \`subFieldName\` override branch for FULL_NAME and ADDRESS;
\`getDefaultSortSubFieldForAddress\` covers the city/first-enabled
fallback path; \`getDefaultSortSubFieldForFullName\` exercises its
constant
- [ ] Manual: sort a People view by Full Name → click the chip's
sub-field label → switch between First name and Last name → reload page
→ choice is preserved
- [ ] Manual: sort a Company view by Address → confirm dropdown lists
only enabled sub-fields → disable Address \`addressCity\` in field
settings → confirm dropdown options update and runtime falls back to the
first enabled sub-field

## Summary
`joinColumnName` on relation field settings is always derivable from the
field name (and the target object name for morph relations). This PR
stops reading it from settings anywhere in production code; the stored
value is no longer used.
The settings field is **not** removed from data yet — a follow-up can
drop it once we are confident nothing depends on the stored value.
## Helpers
The helpers are split by layer because frontend and backend hold morph
relations differently: the frontend has a base name plus a
`morphRelations[]` array, the backend has one row per target with the
name already morph-resolved.
| Helper | Layer | When to use |
|---|---|---|
| `computeRelationGqlFieldJoinColumnName` | Shared / frontend
(`gqlField`) | Non-morph relation on the frontend. |
| `computeMorphRelationGqlFieldName` | Shared / frontend (`gqlField`) |
Need the per-target morph gqlField name (e.g. `targetCompany`). |
| `computeMorphRelationGqlFieldJoinColumnName` | Shared / frontend
(`gqlField`) | Per-target morph join column on the frontend. Prefer over
the non-morph helper for any morph field — it forces the per-target
inputs. |
| `computeMorphOrRelationFieldJoinColumnName` | Backend
(`FlatFieldMetadata.name`) | Any backend read or write — the flat name
is already morph-resolved, so one helper covers both cases. |
| `computeMorphRelationFlatFieldName` | Backend
(`FlatFieldMetadata.name`) | **Mutation paths only** (create / update /
object rename). Reads consume the stored `field.name` and never call
this. |
## Test plan
- [x] Typecheck and lint (front, server, shared)
- [x] Existing unit tests pass
- [ ] CI green
## Summary
Aligns **object metadata** icons with the **tinted tile** look
everywhere we show a workspace object, and **retires** the
navigation-only `NavigationMenuItemStyleIcon` wrapper in favor of
**shared** UI primitives under `@/ui/display` and `@/object-metadata`.
## What changed
### Global tinted icon building blocks (`@/ui/display`)
- **`TintedIconTile`** / **`StyledTintedIconTileContainer`** support
optional **`size`** and **`stroke`**, and grow the tile when **`size`**
is set so layouts match previous `theme.icon` usage.
- Shared helpers and constants for theme color parsing and tinted
backgrounds/borders/icon color (e.g.
**`getTintedIconTileStyleFromColor`**, **`parseThemeColor`**,
**`getColorFromTheme`**, related constants).
### Object metadata icon (`@/object-metadata`)
- **`ObjectMetadataIcon`** composes **`TintedIconTile`** with
**`getObjectColorWithFallback`**, forwards optional **`size`** /
**`stroke`** for **visual parity** with old `getIcon` + explicit sizing.
- **`getSelectOptionIconFromObjectMetadataItem`** returns an
**`IconComponent`** for selects/menus that expect a component, not a
React node.
### Navigation module cleanup
- **Removed** **`NavigationMenuItemStyleIcon`**; call sites use
**`ObjectMetadataIcon`**, **`TintedIconTile`**, and/or the shared
**`getTintedIconTileStyleFromColor`** pipeline so the same treatment is
**not** tied to the navigation package.
- **`NavigationMenuItemIcon`**, view/link overlays, DnD handle, and
sidebar editor flows updated to use the shared pattern where they render
object (or tinted) icons.
### Product surfaces updated (non-exhaustive)
- **Settings:** role object picker/rows, data model
tables/graph/overview, object preview summary, webhooks entity list,
morph relation multiselect.
- **Workflows:** create/update/delete/upsert/find records, triggers,
filters, variables dropdowns, AI agent object rows, object dropdowns.
- **Shell:** side panel object filter / data sources / folder chrome
where object icons appear.
- **Records:** index header icon, show breadcrumb styling.
- **Activity:** timeline event icon when linked object metadata applies.
- **`NavigationDrawerItem`:** tinted branch aligned with shared
**`TintedIconTile`** behavior.

## Summary
Fixes the merge-queue E2E failures that started after #18912 landed.
`filterReadableActiveObjectMetadataItems` (introduced in #18912) treats
a **missing** entry in the permissions map as "deny read". The previous
helper (`getObjectPermissionsFromMapByObjectMetadataId`) treated it as
**"allow read"** via a `?? { canReadObjectRecords: true, … }` fallback.
Because the permissions map is empty on initial render (before the API
round-trip completes), **every object was temporarily filtered out**.
This made `useDefaultHomePagePath` return the settings-profile path,
triggering a redirect race that broke Settings navigation in three E2E
tests:
- `signup_invite_email.spec.ts` — timed out waiting for
`getByRole('link', { name: 'Members' })`
- `create-kanban-view.spec.ts` — timed out waiting for
`getByRole('link', { name: 'Data model' })`
- `workflow-creation.spec.ts` — timed out waiting for sidebar Workflows
button
**Evidence from CI:**
- Last passing merge-queue run: base `13ea3ec75c` (before #18912)
- First failing merge-queue run: base `5f0d6553f6` (#18912)
- All individual PR CI runs continued to pass (they don't rebase on
latest main)
- Screenshot artifact shows the app stuck on the main page — the
Settings drawer never opened
## Fix
When an object has no entry in the permissions map, default to allowing
read (matching the old behavior). An empty map means permissions haven't
loaded yet, not that the user lacks access.
```diff
objectMetadataItems.filter((objectMetadataItem) => {
+ if (!objectMetadataItem.isActive) {
+ return false;
+ }
+
const objectPermissions =
objectPermissionsByObjectMetadataId[objectMetadataItem.id];
-
- return (
- isDefined(objectPermissions) &&
- objectPermissions.canReadObjectRecords &&
- objectMetadataItem.isActive
- );
+
+ if (!isDefined(objectPermissions)) {
+ return true;
+ }
+
+ return objectPermissions.canReadObjectRecords;
});
```

## Problem
- Dashboards only supported chart widgets — tabular record data had no
inline widget type
- `RecordTable` was tightly coupled to the record index: HTML IDs, CSS
variables, and hover portals were global strings with no per-instance
scoping, so multiple tables on the same page would collide
- `updateRecordTableCSSVariable`, `RECORD_TABLE_HTML_ID`, and cell
portal IDs were hardcoded — placing two tables caused hover portals and
CSS column widths to bleed across instances
- Grid drag-select captured record UUIDs as cell IDs, producing `NaN`
layout coordinates and a full-page freeze on second widget creation
## Fix
- `RECORD_TABLE` is now a valid widget type across the full stack —
server DTOs, DB enum migration, universal config mapping, GraphQL
codegen, shared types (`RecordTableConfigurationDto`, `WidgetType`,
`addRecordTableWidgetType` migration)
- A record table widget can be placed on a dashboard and boots from a
View ID with no record index dependency —
`StandaloneRecordTableProvider` + `StandaloneRecordTableViewLoadEffect`
(wraps existing `RecordTableWithWrappers` unchanged)
- Selecting a data source auto-creates a dedicated View with up to 6
initial fields; switching source or deleting the widget cleans up the
View — `useCreateViewForRecordTableWidget` +
`useDeleteViewForRecordTableWidget`
- The settings panel exposes source, field visibility/reorder, filter
conditions, sort rules, and editable widget title —
`SidePanelPageLayoutRecordTableSettings` + sub-pages, matching chart
widget pattern
- Filters, sorts, and aggregate operations update the table in real time
but only persist to the View on explicit dashboard save —
`useSaveRecordTableWidgetsViewDataOnDashboardSave` (diff + flush on
save)
- Headers are always non-interactive (no dropdown, no cursor pointer);
columns are resizable only in edit mode; cells are non-editable in both
modes — `isRecordTableColumnHeadersReadOnlyComponentState`,
`isRecordTableColumnResizableComponentState`,
`isRecordTableCellsNonEditableComponentState` (Jotai component states)
- Hover portals and CSS column widths no longer bleed between multiple
table widgets — `getRecordTableHtmlId(tableId)`,
`getRecordTableCellId(tableId, …)`,
`updateRecordTableCSSVariable(tableId, …)` scope all DOM IDs and CSS
variables per instance
- Clicking inside a widget's content area no longer opens the settings
panel — `WidgetCardContent` stops click propagation when editable,
limiting settings-open to the card header and chrome
- Second widget creation no longer freezes the page —
`PageLayoutGridLayout` drag-select filters by `cell-` prefix to exclude
record UUIDs from grid cell detection
## Follow-up fixes
**Widget save flow**
- Saving a dashboard silently dropped record table widget changes
(column visibility, order, filters, sorts, aggregates) because widget
data save was bundled inside the layout save and only ran when layout
structure changed
- Widget data now persists independently via
`useSavePageLayoutWidgetsData`, called in all save paths (dashboard
save, record page save, layout customization save); saves are also
skipped when nothing has changed
**Drag-and-drop / checkbox columns in widget**
- Record table widgets showed the drag handle column and checkbox
selection column even though row reordering and multi-select are
meaningless in a read-only widget
- Two new component states
(`isRecordTableDragColumnHiddenComponentState`,
`isRecordTableCheckboxColumnHiddenComponentState`) hide each column
independently; widget tables now display only data columns
**Sticky column layout**
- Sticky positioning of the first three columns used `:nth-of-type` CSS
selectors — when drag or checkbox columns were hidden, the selector
targeted the wrong column and the first data column didn't stick
- Sticky CSS now targets semantic class names
(`RECORD_TABLE_COLUMN_DRAG_AND_DROP_WIDTH_CLASS_NAME`, etc.) so sticky
behavior is correct regardless of which columns are hidden
**Save/Cancel buttons during edit mode**
- Save and Cancel command-menu buttons were unpinned during dashboard
edit mode because the pin logic excluded all items while
`isPageInEditMode` was true
- Items whose availability expression contains `isPageInEditMode` are
now exempted from the unpin rule; Save/Cancel stay pinned during editing
**Title input auto-focus**
- Selecting "Record Table" as widget type auto-focused the title input,
interrupting the configuration flow
- `focusTitleInput` is now `false` when navigating to record table
settings
**Morph relation field error**
- A field with missing `morphRelations` metadata crashed the page with a
"refresh" error from `mapObjectMetadataToGraphQLQuery`
- Now returns an empty array and silently omits the field from the query
instead of crashing
**`updateRecordMutation` prop removal**
- `RecordTableWithWrappers` required callers to pass an
`updateRecordMutation` callback, duplicating `useUpdateOneRecord` at
every usage site
- The mutation is now owned inside `RecordTableContextProvider` via
`RecordTableUpdateContext`; the prop is gone
**Standalone → Widget module rename**
- `record-table-standalone` module renamed to `record-table-widget` —
`StandaloneRecordTable` → `RecordTableWidget`,
`StandaloneRecordTableViewLoadEffect` →
`RecordTableWidgetViewLoadEffect`, etc.
**RecordTableRow cell extraction**
- Row rendering logic (`RecordTableCellDragAndDrop`,
`RecordTableCellCheckbox`, `RecordTableFieldsCells`, hotkey/arrow-key
effects) was duplicated between `RecordTableRow` and
`RecordTableRowVirtualizedFullData`
- Extracted `RecordTableRowCells` (shared cell content) and
`RecordTableStaticTr` (non-draggable `<tr>` wrapper); when drag column
is hidden, rows render inside a static `<tr>` instead of the draggable
wrapper
**View load effect metadata tracking**
- `RecordTableWidgetViewLoadEffect` now tracks
`objectMetadataItem.updatedAt` alongside `viewId` to re-load states when
metadata changes (e.g. field additions), preventing stale column data
**Data source dropdown deduplication**
- Extracted `filterReadableActiveObjectMetadataItems` util, shared by
both chart and record table data source dropdowns — removes duplicated
permission-filtering logic
**RECORD_TABLE view identifier mapping (server)**
- Added `RECORD_TABLE` case to
`fromPageLayoutWidgetConfigurationToUniversalConfiguration` and
`fromUniversalConfigurationToFlatPageLayoutWidgetConfiguration` so
widget views are properly mapped during workspace import/export
**GraphQL error handler typing (server)**
- `formatError` parameter changed from `any` to `unknown`;
`workspaceQueryRunnerGraphqlApiExceptionHandler` broadened from
`QueryFailedErrorWithCode` to `Error | QueryFailedError` — removes
unsafe type casts
**Save hook signature**
- `useSaveRecordTableWidgetsViewDataOnDashboardSave` no longer takes
`pageLayoutId` in constructor; receives it as a callback parameter,
eliminating the need for `useAtomComponentStateCallbackState`
**Customize Dashboard hidden during edit mode**
- The "Customize Dashboard" command was still visible while already
editing — its `conditionalAvailabilityExpression` now includes `not
isPageInEditMode`
**Fields dropdown split**
- `RecordTableFieldsDropdownContent` (300+ lines) split into
`RecordTableFieldsDropdownVisibleFieldsContent` and
`RecordTableFieldsDropdownHiddenFieldsContent`
**Checkbox placeholder cleanup**
- Removed unnecessary `StyledRecordTableTdContainer` wrapper from
`RecordTableCellCheckboxPlaceholder`
## Summary
- Renames `ObjectMetadataItem` to `EnrichedObjectMetadataItem` across
the entire frontend (~440 files) to clarify that this type includes
derived fields (`readableFields`, `updatableFields`, nested `fields[]`,
`indexMetadatas[]`) computed at read time from the metadata store
- Creates `splitObjectMetadataGqlResponse` that goes directly from a
GraphQL `ObjectMetadataItemsQuery` response to flat store items
(combining the old
`mapPaginatedObjectMetadataItemsToObjectMetadataItems` +
`splitObjectMetadataItemWithRelated` two-step flow into one call)
- Removes `ObjectMetadataItemWithRelated` type and all "WithRelated"
naming
- Renames `generatedMockObjectMetadataItems` to
`generateTestEnrichedObjectMetadataItemsMock` to make it clear this is
test-only enriched data
- Deletes `useLoadMockedObjectMetadataItems` hook (consolidated into
`useLoadMockedMinimalMetadata`)
- Ensures nothing destined for the metadata store computes
`readableFields`/`updatableFields` (preventing the localStorage bloat
from #18809)
## Type hierarchy (before → after)
**Before:**
```
ObjectMetadataItemsQuery → mapPaginated → ObjectMetadataItemWithRelated → enrich → ObjectMetadataItem
→ split → FlatObjectMetadataItem (store)
```
**After:**
```
ObjectMetadataItemsQuery → splitObjectMetadataGqlResponse → FlatObjectMetadataItem (store)
→ mapPaginated + enrich (tests only) → EnrichedObjectMetadataItem
```

## Summary
- Renames the `FieldMetadataType` enum key from `RICH_TEXT_V2` to
`RICH_TEXT` across the entire codebase, while keeping the underlying
string value as `'RICH_TEXT_V2'` to maintain PostgreSQL database
compatibility
- Renames all related types, guards, hooks, components, and files from
`*RichTextV2*` / `*rich-text-v2*` to `*RichText*` / `*rich-text*` (e.g.
`FormRichTextV2FieldInput` → `FormRichTextFieldInput`,
`isFieldRichTextV2` → `isFieldRichText`)
- Updates generated files (GraphQL schema, SDK types) to use the new key
while preserving the `RICH_TEXT_V2` string value for DB/API layer
- Updates i18n locale files, test snapshots, and integration tests to
reflect the rename
## Context
The legacy `RICH_TEXT` (V1) field type was deprecated and migrated to
`TEXT` in a previous PR (#18623). With V1 gone, the `RICH_TEXT_V2`
naming is no longer necessary — `RICH_TEXT` is now the canonical name.
The DB enum value stays `'RICH_TEXT_V2'` to avoid confusion with the
just-deprecated V1 type and to prevent a database migration.
## Test plan
- [x] `twenty-server` typecheck passes
- [x] `twenty-front` typecheck passes (only pre-existing Apollo client
errors remain)
- [x] `twenty-server` lint passes
- [x] `twenty-front` lint passes
- [x] `twenty-shared` build passes
- [ ] CI passes
Made with [Cursor](https://cursor.com)
## Summary
- Removes the deprecated `RICH_TEXT` (V1) field metadata type from the
codebase entirely
- Adds a 1.20 upgrade command that migrates existing `RICH_TEXT` fields
to `TEXT` in `core.fieldMetadata`
- Cleans up ~70 files across `twenty-shared`, `twenty-server`,
`twenty-front`, `twenty-sdk`, and `twenty-zapier`
## Context
`RICH_TEXT` was a legacy field type that stored rich text as a single
`text` column. It was already **read-only** — writes threw errors
directing users to `RICH_TEXT_V2` instead. `RICH_TEXT_V2` is the current
approach: a composite type with `blocknote` (editor JSON) and `markdown`
subfields. Keeping the deprecated type added maintenance burden without
any value.
Since the underlying database column type for `RICH_TEXT` was already
`text` (same as `TEXT`), the migration only needs to update the metadata
— no data migration or column changes required.
## Changes
### Upgrade command (new)
- `1-20-migrate-rich-text-to-text.command.ts` — runs `UPDATE
core."fieldMetadata" SET "type" = 'TEXT' WHERE "type" = 'RICH_TEXT'` per
workspace, with cache invalidation
### Enum & shared types
- Removed `RICH_TEXT` from `FieldMetadataType` enum
- Removed from `FieldMetadataDefaultValueMapping`,
`isFieldMetadataTextKind`
### Server (~30 files)
- Removed from type mapper (scalar, filter, order-by), data processors,
input transformer, filter operators, zod schemas, column type mapping,
searchable fields, RLS matching, OpenAPI schema, fake value generators
- Removed from field creation flow and field metadata type validator
- Updated dev seeder Pet `bio` field to `TEXT`
- Cleaned up mocks, snapshots, integration tests
### Frontend (~25 files)
- Deleted: `RichTextFieldDisplay`, `isFieldRichText`,
`isFieldRichTextValue`, `useRichTextFieldDisplay`
- Removed from `FieldDisplay`, `usePersistField`, `isFieldValueEmpty`,
`isRecordMatchingFilter`, `generateEmptyFieldValue`,
`isFieldCellSupported`, spreadsheet import, workflow fake values
- Removed from settings types, field type configs, and field creation
exclusion list
- Updated tests, mocks, and stories
### SDK & Zapier
- Removed from generated GraphQL schema and TypeScript types
- Removed from Zapier `computeInputFields`
- Remove feature flag
- Remove legacy methods in file-upload and file-service
- Migrate AI Chat to new file management

## Summary
Now that Twenty has fully migrated from Emotion to Linaria, the theme
system has been simplified to remove unnecessary complexity that existed
only to support the old runtime injection pattern.
### What changed
- **Deleted** `generateThemeConstants.ts` script and the entire
`generated/` directory — no more auto-generation
- **Added** `theme-light.css` and `theme-dark.css`: static CSS files
with 991 custom properties each, scoped under `.light` and `.dark`
selectors respectively
- **Moved** `themeCssVariables.ts` out of `generated/` and hand-maintain
it as a static `as const` object of `var(--t-*)` references (Linaria can
statically evaluate these at build time)
- **Extracted** numeric constants (`MOBILE_VIEWPORT`, `ICON_SIZES`,
`ICON_STROKES`) into a new `constants.ts` — CSS variables can't be used
in media queries or as numeric icon size props
- **Simplified** `ThemeContextProvider`: removed
`ThemeCssVariableInjectorEffect` entirely; now uses a single
`useLayoutEffect` to toggle `.light`/`.dark` class on `<html>`
- **Added** `class="light"` to `index.html` as default to prevent FOUC
before React hydration
### Why
The previous setup maintained a dual system: JS theme objects
(`THEME_LIGHT`/`THEME_DARK`) used at runtime, plus a generation script
that produced CSS variable entry arrays, which were then injected into
the DOM by `ThemeCssVariableInjectorEffect`. With Linaria, theme values
only need to be CSS custom properties — the JS objects were redundant.
This PR removes ~250 lines of infrastructure while keeping the same
theming capabilities.
## PR Description
- Uses `expr-eval` to enable front components (SDK plugins) to define
conditional availability as declarative expressions.
- Moves shared types and constants to `twenty-shared`
- Introduces a `conditionalAvailabilityExpression` field on
`CommandMenuItemEntity`, allowing command menu items to store an
`expr-eval` compatible expression string that is evaluated against a
CommandMenuContext to determine if the item should be shown.
- Creates an esbuild transform plugin
`conditional-availability-transform-plugin` in `twenty-sdk` that
converts TypeScript conditional availability expressions into
`expr-eval` compatible syntax at build time, so SDK developers can write
natural TS expressions that get transformed to evaluable strings.
- Removes deprecated `forceRegisteredActionsByKey` state and its usage.
- Creates `useCommandMenuContext` hook that builds the full
`CommandMenuContext` object from React state, which is then passed to
`useCommandMenuItemFrontComponentActions` for evaluating conditional
availability expressions.
## Summary
Unifies test mocking tooling across Jest and Storybook, replaces
handcrafted mock data with auto-generated server-fetched data, and
restructures the mock data generation script for maintainability.
### Mock data generation
- Split `generate-mock-data.ts` into three focused modules under
`scripts/mock-data/`:
- `utils.ts` — shared authentication, GraphQL client, and file writer
- `generate-metadata.ts` — fetches object metadata from `/metadata`
- `generate-record-data.ts` — fetches record data from `/graphql` using
metadata-driven dynamic queries
- The orchestrator (`generate-mock-data.ts`) authenticates once and
passes the token to both generators
- Company records are now fetched from the actual server (limited to 10
records) instead of being handcrafted
- Generated files are organized under `generated/metadata/objects/` and
`generated/data/companies/`
### Unified test utilities
- Consolidated Jest and MSW mocking into shared utilities that compose
production code (`prefillRecord`, `getRecordNodeFromRecord`,
`getRecordConnectionFromRecords`) with mock metadata
- Renamed `generateEmptyJestRecordNode` → `generateMockRecordNode` and
moved to `testing/utils/`
- Extracted `generateMockRecordConnection` into its own file
- Removed `sanitizeInputForPrefill` workaround (no longer needed with
correctly shaped generated data)
## Add codegen script for frontend test mock data
### Summary
- Adds a new `npx nx mock:generate twenty-front` and
`generate-mock-data.ts` script that fetches object metadata from a
running server's `/metadata` endpoint, authenticates with default seeds,
and writes the result to a generated TypeScript file
(`src/testing/mock-data/generated/mock-metadata-query-result.ts`). This
replaces hand-maintained mock metadata with server-sourced data,
ensuring tests always reflect the real schema.
- Updates all frontend tests to be compatible with the newly generated
metadata, fixing hard-coded GraphQL queries, Zod validation schemas,
snapshot expectations, and Apollo mock mismatches.
### What changed
**New files**
- `scripts/generate-mock-data.ts` — codegen script that authenticates
against the server, queries `/metadata` for all object metadata (with
explicit `__typename` at every level), and writes a typed `.ts` file.
- `project.json` — added `mock:generate` Nx target (`dotenv npx tsx
scripts/generate-mock-data.ts`).
**Schema validation updates**
- `objectMetadataItemSchema.ts` — added `universalIdentifier`, made
`duplicateCriteria` nullable.
- `fieldMetadataItemSchema.ts` — added `universalIdentifier`, `morphId`,
`morphRelations`, restructured relation schema.
- `indexMetadataItemSchema.ts` — added optional `isCustom` field.
# Introduction
## Centralize system field definitions
- Extract a single `PARTIAL_SYSTEM_FLAT_FIELD_METADATAS` constant as the
source of truth for all 8 system fields (`id`, `createdAt`, `updatedAt`,
`deletedAt`, `createdBy`, `updatedBy`, `position`, `searchVector`),
eliminating duplication across custom object and standard app field
builders
- Refactor `buildDefaultFlatFieldMetadatasForCustomObject` to use the
shared constant via a new `buildObjectSystemFlatFieldMetadatas` helper
## Mark system fields as `isSystem: true`
- Fields `id`, `createdAt`, `updatedAt`, `deletedAt`, `createdBy`,
`updatedBy`, `position`, `searchVector` are now properly flagged as
system fields across all standard objects and custom object creation
- Standard app field builders for all ~30 standard objects updated to
set `isSystem: true` on `createdAt`, `updatedAt`, `deletedAt`,
`createdBy`, `updatedBy`
- System-only standard objects (blocklist, calendar channels, message
threads, etc.) now also include `createdBy`, `updatedBy`, `position`,
`searchVector` field definitions that were previously missing
## Validate system fields on object creation
- New transversal validation (`crossEntityTransversalValidation`) runs
after all atomic entity validations in the build orchestrator, ensuring
all 8 system fields are present with correct `type` and `isSystem: true`
when an object is created
- New `buildUniversalFlatObjectFieldByNameAndJoinColumnMaps` utility to
resolve field names to universal identifiers for a given object
- New exception codes: `MISSING_SYSTEM_FIELD` and `INVALID_SYSTEM_FIELD`
on `ObjectMetadataExceptionCode`
## Protect system fields and objects from mutation
- Field validators now block update/delete of `isSystem` fields by
non-system callers (`FIELD_MUTATION_NOT_ALLOWED`)
- Object validators now block update/delete of `isSystem` objects by
non-system callers
- `POSITION` and `TS_VECTOR` field type validators replaced: instead of
rejecting creation outright, they now validate that the field is named
correctly (`position` / `searchVector`) and has `isSystem: true`
## Distinguish `isSystemBuild` from `isCallerTwentyStandardApp`
- New `isCallerTwentyStandardApp` utility checks whether the caller's
`applicationUniversalIdentifier` matches the twenty standard app
- Name-sync logic (`isFlatFieldMetadataNameSyncedWithLabel`,
`areFlatObjectMetadataNamesSyncedWithLabels`) refactored to use
`isCallerTwentyStandardApp` for custom suffix decisions, keeping
`isSystemBuild` for mutation permission checks
- `WorkspaceMigrationBuilderOptions` type updated to include
`applicationUniversalIdentifier`
## Adapt frontend filtering
- New `HIDDEN_SYSTEM_FIELD_NAMES` constant (`id`, `position`,
`searchVector`) and `isHiddenSystemField` utility to only hide truly
internal fields while keeping user-facing system fields (`createdAt`,
`updatedAt`, `deletedAt`, `createdBy`, `updatedBy`) visible in the UI
- ~20 frontend files updated to replace `!field.isSystem` checks with
`!isHiddenSystemField(field)` across record index, settings, data model,
charts, workflows, spreadsheet import, aggregations, and role
permissions
## Add 1.19 upgrade commands
- **`backfill-system-fields-is-system`**: Raw SQL command to set
`isSystem = true` on existing workspace fields matching system field
names, and fix `position` field type from `NUMBER` to `POSITION` for
`favorite`/`favoriteFolder` objects. Includes proper cache invalidation.
- **`add-missing-system-fields-to-standard-objects`**: Codegen'd
workspace migration to create missing `position`, `searchVector`,
`createdBy`, `updatedBy` fields on standard objects that didn't
previously have them. Runs via `WorkspaceMigrationRunnerService` in a
single transaction with idempotency check. **Known limitation**: assumes
all standard objects exist and are valid in the target workspace.
## Add `universalIdentifier` for system fields in standard object
constants
- `standard-object.constant.ts` updated to include `universalIdentifier`
for `createdBy`, `updatedBy`, `position`, and `searchVector` across all
standard objects
- `fieldManifestType.ts` updated to support the new field manifest shape
## System relation
Completely removed and backfilled all `isSystem` relation to be false
false
As we won't require an object to have any relation system fields
## Add integration tests
- New test suite `failing-sync-application-object-system-fields`
covering: missing system fields, wrong field types (`id` as TEXT,
`createdAt` as TEXT, `position` as TEXT), system field deletion
attempts, and system field update attempts
- New test utilities: `buildDefaultObjectManifest` (builds an object
manifest with all 8 system fields) and `setupApplicationForSync`
(centralizes application setup)
- Existing successful sync test updated to verify system fields are
created with correct properties
## Next step
Make the builder scope the compared entity to be the currently built app
+ nor twenty standard app
- Migration command
- Check IS_FILES_FIELD_MIGRATED:false
- Check or create avatarFile field
- Fetch all people with avatarUrl
- Move (Copy/move) file in storage
- Create core.file record
- Update person record
- bonus : attachment migration : fullPath > file (same logic)
- BE logic
- Add avatarFile field on person
- FE logic
- Adapt logic to upload on/display avatarFile data
The whole imageIdentifier logic will be done later
## Context
Now that RLS predicates are applied, creating a record through the FE
(which is empty by default) is failing if your role has predicates and
your input does not respect them (which will always be true since, as
said above, input will be pretty much empty)
## Implementation
- Moved isMatching* filters to twenty-shared
- Implemented isMatchingRlsPredicates utils in the backend (ORM) to
check before insertion/update if the record is matching the current user
role Rls predicates, reusing the isMatching* filters utils moved to
twenty-shared
- Frontend now applies RLS predicates before creating a new record
(similarly to what we do with view filters)
Note:
It seems composite were not properly handled with view-filter insertion
logic, since I'm reusing the util for now, the issue remains for RLS and
will need to be addressed
- moved a few gql types to twenty shared to re-use in server
- added a new endpoint, onEventSubscription that expect a streamId to
create a connection
- two new endpoints to store queries in Redis
- updated the existing batch channel to directly use object record type
## Summary
This PR enables sorting records by fields of related objects. For
example, sorting **People by their Company's name**.
### Before
Only scalar and composite fields could be sorted. Relation fields showed
in the sort dropdown but produced errors.
### After
Many-to-One relation fields can now be sorted using the related object's
**label identifier field** (e.g., Company's `name`).
---
## Changes
### Frontend
- Added `RELATION` to sortable field types (restricted to `MANY_TO_ONE`
relations)
- New `getOrderByForRelationField()` generates nested orderBy structures
using the related object's label identifier
- Updated `turnSortsIntoOrderBy()` to handle relation fields by looking
up related object metadata
### Backend
- Extended `GraphqlQueryOrderFieldParser.parse()` to detect nested
relation ordering like `{ company: { name: 'AscNullsLast' } }`
- Returns `ParseOrderByResult` containing both `orderBy` conditions and
`relationJoins` info
- Added LEFT JOINs for relation ordering in `applyOrderToBuilder()`
- Added `addRelationOrderColumnsToBuilder()` for TypeORM DISTINCT
compatibility
### Tests
- Added unit tests for `filterSortableFieldMetadataItems`,
`getOrderByForRelationField`, and `turnSortsIntoOrderBy`
- Added integration tests covering ascending/descending order and
composite label identifiers
---
## TypeORM Bug Workaround
We encountered a significant TypeORM limitation when implementing this
feature. When using `getMany()` with `ORDER BY` on joined relation
columns, TypeORM generates a DISTINCT subquery that has specific
requirements:
### Issue 1: Alias Parsing
TypeORM's `orderBy()` method fails with **"alias not found"** when using
quoted SQL identifiers like `"company"."name"`. TypeORM internally
expects unquoted property paths (e.g., `company.name`) for its alias
resolution mechanism.
### Issue 2: setFindOptions Clears addSelect
`setFindOptions({ select })` **clears any previously added `addSelect()`
columns**. This caused `"column distinctAlias.company_name does not
exist"` errors because the relation columns needed for ORDER BY were
being removed.
### Solution
We split the logic into two methods:
1. `applyOrderToBuilder()` - adds JOINs and ORDER BY (before
`setFindOptions`)
2. `addRelationOrderColumnsToBuilder()` - adds relation columns for
SELECT (AFTER `setFindOptions`)
This ensures the relation columns are present in the final SQL query's
SELECT clause with the proper underscore aliases (`company_name`) that
TypeORM's DISTINCT subquery expects.

## Summary
This PR enforces the use of `@/` alias for imports instead of relative
parent imports (`../`).
## Changes
### ESLint Configuration
- Added `no-restricted-imports` pattern in `eslint.config.react.mjs` to
block `../*` imports with the message "Relative parent imports are not
allowed. Use @/ alias instead."
- Removed the non-working `import/no-relative-parent-imports` rule
(doesn't work properly in ESLint flat config)
### VS Code Settings
- Added `javascript.preferences.importModuleSpecifier: non-relative` to
`.vscode/settings.json` (TypeScript setting was already there)
### Code Fixes
- Fixed **941 relative parent imports** across **706 files** in
`packages/twenty-front`
- All `../` imports converted to use `@/` alias
## Why
- Consistent import style across the codebase
- Easier to move files without breaking imports
- Better IDE support for auto-imports
- Clearer understanding of where imports come from
- Added new `useUpdateManyRecords` hook for batch record updates with
optimistic cache updates
- Added `updateMessageFoldersSyncStatus` hook for managing message
folder sync state
- Redesigned Message Folders List with BreadCrumb and Animations
## Summary
This PR significantly simplifies the AI chat architecture by removing
complex routing/planning mechanisms and introduces clickable record
links in AI responses.
## Changes
### AI Chat Architecture Simplification
- **Removed** the entire `ai-chat-router` module (~850 lines) including:
- Strategy decider service
- Plan generator service
- Complex routing logic
- **Removed** agent execution planning services (~700 lines):
- `agent-execution.service.ts`
- `agent-plan-executor.service.ts`
- `agent-tool-generator.service.ts`
- **Added** centralized `ToolRegistryService` for tool management:
- Builds searchable tool index (database, action, workflow tools)
- Provides tool lookup by name
- Supports agent search for loading expertise
- **Added** `ChatExecutionService` as simple replacement:
- Includes full tool catalog in system prompt
- Pre-loads common tools (find/create/update for company, person,
opportunity, task, note)
- Uses `load_tools` mechanism for dynamic tool activation
- Enables native web search by default
### Record References in AI Responses
- Added `recordReferences` field to tool outputs for create, find, and
update operations
- Implemented `[[record:objectName:recordId:displayName]]` syntax for AI
to reference records
- Created `RecordLink` component that renders clickable chips with
object icons
- Integrated record link parsing into the markdown renderer
- Users can now click directly on created/found records in AI responses
### Workflow Agent Fixes
- Fixed cache invalidation issue when creating agents in workflows
- Added default prompt for workflow-created agents to prevent validation
errors
- Relaxed agent validation to only check properties being updated (not
all required properties)
### Code Quality Improvements
- Extracted `getRecordDisplayName` utility that mirrors frontend's
`getLabelIdentifierFieldValue` logic
- Uses object metadata to determine the correct label identifier field
- Handles `FULL_NAME` composite type for person/workspaceMember objects
- Shared across create, find, and update record services
## Net Impact
- **~1,200 lines deleted** (complex routing/planning code)
- **~500 lines added** (simpler tool registry + record links)
- Significantly reduced code complexity
- Better tool discovery through full catalog in system prompt
- Improved UX with clickable record references
## Testing
- Typecheck passes
- Lint passes
- Manual testing of AI chat with record creation and linking
## Problem
With Twenty usage growing, we are facing challenges on server side to
respond to the demand. The current bottleneck we are facing is server
CPU.
While investigating CPU performances, we figured out that loading all
relation fields was the biggest issue.
### About graphql query response size
**Example:** on `People Index` Table page:
we query: `person.company` and we query **all non relation fields** on
company relation field.
`{ person { company { id, name, domainName, employees, address ... } }`
However we only need **company.id, company.name and company.domainName**
to be able to render the Company Chip in the company column (RELATION)
in the table.
`{ person { company { id, name, domainName } }`
We initially assumed that the querying all non relation fields was not
an issue because it was not adding additional load on database (which is
also partially true: if a field is containing a huge json this will add
load on postgres as data needs to be transfered)
This assumption is wrong on CPU side:
- when loading one to many relations (company.people), this quickly ads
up and we end up with response of 20kB quite quickly, even without
adding any custom field on person.
- even when loading a many to one relation, if the user is storing big
data in a given field (note.body for instance, or workflowRun.state),
this starts also being an issue.
- Worst case scenario are starting to happen: on a production workspace
with 20 active workflows. Loading workflow table while displaying
workflow runs commands (20 workflows x 60 workflowRuns x
workflowRun.state which is a big JSON) result in a response of... 125MB.
### Why is it an issue?
When yoga (graphql engine) parses a response to send it back in server
response, it's using `JSON.parse `(or stringify depending on the case).
Parsing data is CPU instensive (as you need to validate, transform) and
this is more or less `O(n)`.
This means returning 125MB is very intense on the CPU and will likely
use 100% of the CPU for ~1sec in our production servers.
NodeJs (nodeV8) is single threaded. It's able to process multiple
requests in parallel but to do that, it will cut them in "microTasks"
and process each microTasks (that can belong to different requests) one
after the other. Exactly like a single threaded CPU would allocate some
time to a process and then to the next one, etc.
This means that this big response request will actually block the other
request.
As a result, all requests are slow and our infrastructure is multi
tenant so some customers are impacting others.
This is even a bigger issue when our health checks start to fail and
containers are starting being considered as unhealthy and killed by the
orchestrator
## How to fix this
1. On Front end side, we should only query what we need. In this PR, I'm
forcing the relations to only query: `id`, `labelIdentifier`,
`imageIdentifier`
2. (later) as we are API first, we also need to do something to protect
the servers from this side too. To do that, Graphql APIs can associate a
cost to each graphql field (maybe 1 for a test fixed, 2 for a JSON
field, 10 for relations, etc...) and we can throttle based on that.
## Changes in this PR
It's mainly about refactor the tooling to generate `RecordGqlFields`
(`generateDepthOneGqlFields`). this tooling is used to generate the list
of fields we want to query. Most of the time we want to query a record
with one level of nesting.
1) Refactor to remove duplicate code => `generateDepthOne` become
`generateDepth` and can handle both `depth = 0 | 1`
2) Introduce `generateDepthRecordGqlFieldsFromFields.ts` which is the
base and can give you a list of gqlFields based on FieldMetadataItems
3) Introduce `generateDepthRecordGqlFieldsFromObject` which is a
shortcut for an object
4) Introduce `generateDepthRecordGqlFieldsFromRecords` which is the
intersection between `generateDepthRecordGqlFieldsFromObject` and a
given record (useful for cache tooling)
5) Replace all usages + introduce a hook
`useGenerateDepthRecordGqlFieldsFromObject` to ease usage
## Scope
- Refactor SingleRecordPicker to handle morphItem and match Multiple one
- fix query generation to take morph into account

- double check SingleRecordPicker in Workflows / Form
- Fix tests / stories
This PR follows the multiSelect PR merged previously. It will enable
morph relation Many to One to be handled from the table, using a
singleSelect picker
Main point : I decided to change the singleSelect API to take an array
of **objectMetadataName** instead of only one to deal with both our
usecases.

If viewId is defined in a groupBy query, we want to apply all filters of
the view to the query.
This required to move a lot of code from twenty-front to twenty-shared
to convert the filters as stored in the db into graphql filters,
applying the right combinations between filters etc., which was
previously only done in the FE.
This PR does not handle any field filters, it will be done in a later pr
## Add Morph Relation Field Display Support for Tables (one to many &
many to one)
**Features:**
- Display morph relation fields (one-to-many, many-to-one) in table
cells
- Multi-field record retrieval for improved performance
- Enhanced table cell rendering with morph relation support
**Components Added:**
- `MorphRelationManyToOneFieldDisplay` - Shows many-to-one morph
relations
- `MorphRelationOneToManyFieldDisplay` - Shows one-to-many morph
relations
TODO :
handle notes and tasks case if we choose these kind of objects as
targets/source for a morph relation

On field selection, we need to retrieve the fieldMetadata to set the
filter type. Current code was using the current step filter
fieldMetdataId instead of the new one.
Also adding a special behaviour for Select filter: it behaves as
arrays/multiselect but the opearands are not the same.

This PR prepares the refactor of record field definition and column
definition.
We need to separate the two concepts of FieldInput and FieldContext at
the cell level, and the new RecordField concept that will replace
FieldDefinition at the metadata and state level.
So we create a new ui sub-folder in the already existing record-field
folder, in order to separate those two concepts that are still very
close.

- Introduction of readableFields and updatableFields in
objectMetadataItem selector to ease filtering from a developer
experience perspective ( + to help developers think to do it). In
discussion @lucasbordeau @charlesBochet
- Remove non-updatable field from CSV import process (@etiennejouan)
- QA fix / Non-readable fields should not show on show page
- QA fix / It should not be offered to create a kanban view on a
non-readable field
- QA fix / It should not be offered to create view groups on a
non-readable field

This PR implements what's needed to edit field permissions on a role.
Field permissions that aren't useful are kept in the database to avoid
the overhead of adding cleaning logics both in front end and back end.
They just won't be taken into account if object permission doesn't allow
it.
In this PR we also handle the case were there's no object permission
override but where there are only field permission overrides, which can
happen if an object inherits from a "all object can read" but restricts
read only on some fields.

This PR lowers unit test coverage because the essential unit tests for
this PR have been written and writing more tests would not be a great
tradeoff for this feature which has already taken a lot of efforts.
In our Graphql schema, ids are typed as UUID.
Our FE codegen is typing it as 'any', unless we say otherwise. Fixing it
and fixing the impacts in the codebase
