## Context
- Add "Reset to default" for page layout tabs and widgets — backend
mutation resets overrides, reactivates deactivated children, and deletes
custom children
- Fix override write bug where mutating an overridable property (e.g.
widget title) on a standard-app entity incorrectly overwrote the base
column instead of writing to the overrides JSONB —
PageLayoutUpdateService now uses resolveFlatEntityOverridableProperties
for accurate diffing and routes properties through
sanitizeOverridableEntityInput
- Deprecate isOverridden - We need more time to think about this
feature. Currently this adds too much complexity for a very small
benefit

## Summary
Closes#18673
Some languages (e.g., German "Unternehmen") and even English words
(sheep, deer, aircraft, series) have identical singular and plural
forms. Twenty previously blocked saving when labels matched, making it
impossible to correctly name objects in these cases.
- **Labels** are purely display strings — removed the equality
validation from both the frontend Zod schema and backend validator
- **API names** (nameSingular/namePlural) must stay different since they
generate distinct GraphQL resolvers (`findOne` vs `findMany`,
`createOne` vs `createMany`, etc.) and REST endpoints — this validation
is preserved
- Added a shared `computeMetadataNamesFromLabels` util in
`twenty-shared` that auto-appends `'s'` to the plural API name when both
labels produce the same camelCase name (e.g., "Unternehmen" →
`unternehmen` / `unternehmens`)
- Both the frontend form and backend sync-check use the same shared util
— single source of truth, no duplicated logic
**No retroactive impact**: since the old code prevented identical labels
from ever being saved, no existing workspace has `labelSingular ===
labelPlural`.
## Test plan
- [x] New unit tests for `computeMetadataNamesFromLabels` (7 tests:
standard labels, Sheep, Unternehmen, Aircraft, empty labels, different
labels, applyCustomSuffix)
- [x] Updated frontend schema validation tests (identical labels with
different names now passes; identical names still fails)
- [x] Updated backend integration test cases (removed identical-label
failing cases)
- [ ] Manual: create a new object with identical singular/plural labels
(e.g. "Sheep" / "Sheep") — should save successfully with API names
`sheep` / `sheeps`
- [ ] Manual: verify existing objects with different labels still work
unchanged

# 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
# Introduction
Important note: This PR officially deprecates the `standardId`, about to
drop col and entity property after this has been merged
Important note2: Haven't updated the optimistic tool to also update the
universal identifier aggregators only the ids one, they should not be
consumed in the runner context -> need to improve typing or either the
optimistic tooling
In this PR we're introducing all the devxp allowing future metadata
incremental universal migration -> this has an impact on all existing
metadata actions handler ( explaining its size )
This PR also introduce workspace agnostic create update actions runner
for both field and object metadata in order to battle test the described
above devxp
Noting that these two metadata are the most complex to handle
Notes:
- A workspace migration is now highly bind to a
`applicationUniversalIdentifier`. Though we don't strictly validate
application scope for the moment
## Next
Migrate both object and field builder to universal comparison
## Universal Actions vs Flat Actions Architecture
### Concept
The migration system uses a two-phase action model:
1. **Universal Actions** - Actions defined using `universalIdentifier`
(stable, portable identifiers like `standardId` + `applicationId`)
2. **Flat Actions** - Actions defined using database `entityId` (UUIDs
specific to a workspace)
### Why This Separation?
- **Universal actions are portable**: They can be serialized, stored,
and replayed across different workspaces
- **Flat actions are executable**: They contain the actual database IDs
needed to perform operations
- **Decoupling**: The builder produces universal actions; the runner
transpiles them to flat actions at execution time
### Transpiler Pattern
Each action handler must implement
`transpileUniversalActionToFlatAction()`:
```typescript
@Injectable()
export class CreateFieldActionHandlerService extends WorkspaceMigrationRunnerActionHandler(
'create',
'fieldMetadata',
) {
override async transpileUniversalActionToFlatAction(
context: WorkspaceMigrationActionRunnerArgs<UniversalCreateFieldAction>,
): Promise<FlatCreateFieldAction> {
// Resolve universal identifiers to database IDs
const flatObjectMetadata = findFlatEntityByUniversalIdentifierOrThrow({
flatEntityMaps: allFlatEntityMaps.flatObjectMetadataMaps,
universalIdentifier: action.objectMetadataUniversalIdentifier,
});
return {
type: action.type,
metadataName: action.metadataName,
objectMetadataId: flatObjectMetadata.id, // Resolved ID
flatFieldMetadatas: /* ... transpiled entities ... */,
};
}
}
```
### Action Handler Base Class
`BaseWorkspaceMigrationRunnerActionHandlerService<TActionType,
TMetadataName>` provides:
- **`transpileUniversalActionToFlatAction()`** - Abstract method each
handler must implement
- **`transpileUniversalDeleteActionToFlatDeleteAction()`** - Shared
helper for delete actions
## FlatEntityMaps custom properties
Introduced a `TWithCustomMapsProperties` generic parameter to control
whether custom indexing structures are included:
- **`false` (default)**: Returns `FlatEntityMaps<MetadataFlatEntity<T>>`
- used in builder/runner contexts
- **`true`**: Returns the full maps type with custom properties (e.g.,
`byUserWorkspaceIdAndFolderId`) - used in cache contexts
## Create Field Actions Refactor
Refactored create-field actions to support relation field pairs
bundling.
**Problem:** Relation fields (e.g., `Attachment.targetTask` ↔
`Task.attachments`) couldn't resolve each other's IDs during
transpilation because they were in separate actions with independent
`fieldIdByUniversalIdentifier` maps.
**Solution:**
- Removed `objectMetadataUniversalIdentifier` from
`UniversalCreateFieldAction` and `objectMetadataId` from
`FlatCreateFieldAction` - each field now carries its own
- Runner groups fields by object internally and processes each table
separately
- Split aggregator into two focused utilities:
- `aggregateNonRelationFieldsIntoObjectActions` - merges non-relation
fields into object actions
- `aggregateRelationFieldPairs` - bundles relation pairs with shared
`fieldIdByUniversalIdentifier`
Two challenges with error messages
- always provide a useful/meaningful error message for the end user
instead of the generic one. eg: show "Wrong password" and not "An error
occured"
- avoid technical details unless error regards a technical feature. eg:
show "An error occured" and not "Invalid post-hook payload."; but do
show "Invalid issuer URL." as it occurs while configuring SSO
What this PR does
- Make userFriendlyMessage mandatory for widely used
GraphqlQueryRunnerException and CommonQueryRunnerException, so that
developers are forced to ask themselves what the error message should
be, and as it contains very wide error codes (eg: "Bad request") which
should not be mapped to just one default message
- Keep userFriendlyMessage optional for service-specific exceptions (eg:
workflowStepExecutorException), but convert the error code to
userFriendlyMessage mapper to a switch case function with a typecheck
ensuring that all codes are mapped to a message. These default messages
are still overridable where they are thrown.
## Summary
This PR enforces that all custom exceptions must provide a
`userFriendlyMessage`, ensuring end users always see readable error
messages.
## Changes
### Core Changes
- **`CustomException` simplified**: Removed the `ForceFriendlyMessage`
generic parameter - `userFriendlyMessage` is now always required
- **Type safety**: The constructor now requires `{ userFriendlyMessage:
MessageDescriptor }` (no longer optional)
### Updated Files
- **74+ exception classes** updated to provide default user-friendly
messages using Lingui `msg` macro
- Each exception class has a sensible fallback message (e.g., `msg\`An
authentication error occurred.\``)
- Exception classes that had code-specific message maps retain their
behavior
## Benefits
- **Compile-time enforcement**: Forgetting to add a user-friendly
message now causes a TypeScript error
- **Better UX**: End users always see a localized, human-readable error
message
- **Simpler API**: No more boolean generic parameter to think about
## Testing
- `npx nx run twenty-server:typecheck` passes
- `npx nx run twenty-server:lint` passes

# Introduction
Related to https://github.com/twentyhq/core-team-issues/issues/1995
This PR introduces the basis of the `twentyStandard` application as code
on demand, it's highly tied to `ids` where it will becomes workspace
agnostic following the builder and runner `universalIdentifier` refactor
later.
The goal here to allow computing the `allFlatEntityMaps` `to` of the
`twentyStandard` application on a empty workspace ( workspace creation
). Allowing installing the twenty standard app through a workspace
migration instead of passing by the sync metadata
Nothing done will be run in production for the moment if it's not the
small validation refactor we've introduced
Please note that everything introduced here will be replaced at some
point by a twenty app instance when the twenty sdk is mature enough to
handle of the edge cases we need here
## How we've proceeded
We've been iterating over every workspace entity both objects and their
fields, and transpiled them to flatEntity.
Being sure we migrate the defaultValue, settings and so on accordingly.
We've also compute all the ids in prior of the whole entities
computation so we don't face any hoisting issue.
## Current state
At the moment only handling all of the 29 standard objects and their
fields
Settings a unique universalIdentifier for all of them
Will come views, agent role targets and so on later
## `workspace:compute-twenty-standard-migration` command
This command allow generating a workspace migration that will result in
installing the twenty standard app in an empty workspace
It's temporary and aims to allow debugging for the moment we might not
keep it in the future as it is right now
It contains debug writeFileSync which is expected no worries greptile
## `LabelFieldMetadataIdentifierId`
Small refactor allowing defining the label identifier field metadata id
of a uuid field metadata type for system object, as some of our standard
object don't have a name field and don't aim to
Also please note that we might remove this build options later in the
sake of the currently installed universal identifier application that we
could compare with the deterministic twenty standard one
## `runFlatFieldMetadataValidators`
Deprecated this pattern which was redundant and not v2 friendly pattern
## Current errors that will address in upcoming PR
Current standard objects and fields metadata does not pass the
validation that we have in place, as historically the sync metadata
would directly consume the repositories and would just ignore the
validation. This is about to change.
Will handle the below errors in dedicated PRs as they will required
upgrade commands in order to migrate the data, or will handle that from
the sync metadata instead still to be determined but nothing critical
here

- options label invalid format

Closes [1918](https://github.com/twentyhq/core-team-issues/issues/1918).
- For the first point in the issue, we just show the deactivated entries
along with the deactivated text.
---
- For the second point, we show a banner and control the
enabled/disabled state of save button depending on whether we're
allowing the user to create table with the typed name.
- For example, we do not want to allow the user to create a table with
reserved name, so we disable the save button without showing a banner.
- Similarly, we do not want the user to create a table with a name that
already exists in the database. In this case, we show a banner and we
also disable the save button.
- Finally, we do not want to allow the user to create a table where
singular and plural name are the same. Therefore, we disable the save
button for names like `works`.
---
- For the third point, if we add the delete button, it logically means
that we allow the user to delete a custom object/field even it has not
been deactivated yet, so did that.
- Upon deleting the object/field, if we wait for the metadata to refetch
before we navigate, this is what we see because the path does not exist
any longer after deletion and we're waiting for refetch on the path
until we navigate away.
https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/dbe0569c-db88-4285-851f-22551b1ca81e
- To avoid this page from appearing, I replaced awaiting refetch to not
awaiting refetch and redirecting while the refetch happens in the
background.
- Therefore, when we delete something, there is a slight delay for when
it is actually cleared out from the list, but the Not Found view does
not appear on the screen.
https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/47f49579-ce51-4d6a-b857-72046247bb4b
- I tried optimistically removing the object/field from the metadata,
but it leads to some issues (crashes the app) and I have not been able
to find a solution for it yet.
- Therefore, instead of getting stuck at perfection and blocking myself,
I stopped getting into the issue further and created this PR by ensuring
that the desired functionality works.

## 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
## Tests
### makeSureDashboardNamingAvailableCommand
Case 1: no dashboard custom object
Case 2: with dashboard custom object
### SeedDashboardViewCommand
Case 1: no existing view
Case 2: with existing view
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).

"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).
# Introduction
This PR introduces a huge type refactor that will leverage dynamic intra
entity optimistic flat maps update in the future and also a more
granular cache invalidation enhancing performances

## What's done
### Comparators centralization
Comparator is now done through global configuration as const for each
metadata names
Thanks to
Note:
Definition of standard is evolving, standard is now scoped to an app.
Meaning that a manifest should be able to update its own standards
objects but on other app standards ones ? Each synchronizable entities
will have a standardOverrides ?
## Typing refactor
### `AllFlatEntityTypesByMetadataName`
**Single source of truth for the complete type ecosystem**, mapping each
metadata name to its entity types, flat entities, and migration actions:
```typescript
export type AllFlatEntityTypesByMetadataName = {
fieldMetadata: {
actions: { created: CreateFieldAction; updated: UpdateFieldAction; deleted: DeleteFieldAction; };
flatEntity: FlatFieldMetadata;
entity: FieldMetadataEntity;
};
objectMetadata: { /* ... */ };
// ... all 10 metadata types
};
```
### `ALL_METADATA_NAME_MANY_TO_ONE_RELATIONS`
**Explicitly declares database relationships** between entities with
compile-time validation:
```typescript
export const ALL_METADATA_NAME_MANY_TO_ONE_RELATIONS = {
viewField: {
view: 'viewId',
fieldMetadata: 'fieldMetadataId',
},
cronTrigger: {
serverlessFunction: 'serverlessFunctionId',
},
// ... all relations
} as const satisfies MetadataNameAndRelations;
```
### `ALL_FLAT_ENTITY_CONFIGURATION`
**Centralizes comparison and serialization logic** for each metadata
type:
```typescript
export const ALL_FLAT_ENTITY_CONFIGURATION = {
fieldMetadata: {
propertiesToCompare: ['name', 'type', 'label', 'defaultValue', /* ... */],
propertiesToStringify: ['options', 'settings', 'defaultValue'],
},
objectMetadata: {
propertiesToCompare: ['nameSingular', 'namePlural', 'isActive', /* ... */],
propertiesToStringify: [],
},
// ... all metadata types
} as const satisfies AllFlatEntityConfiguration;
```
## Combined Impact
These three configurations work together to create a **strongly-typed,
centrally-managed metadata system**:
1. **`AllFlatEntityTypesByMetadataName`** defines *what exists*
2. **`ALL_METADATA_NAME_MANY_TO_ONE_RELATIONS`** defines *how they
relate*
3. **`ALL_FLAT_ENTITY_CONFIGURATION`** defines *how to compare and
serialize them*
**Result:** Builders and validators become thin wrappers around
type-safe, configuration-driven logic instead of containing scattered,
error-prone manual implementations.
## What's next
### StandardOverrides standardization
Every metadata entity can be a standard one for a workspace if it's an
installed app, which means it might not expose the whole entity api to
be editable through an import dynamically
The standard overrides logic should not be applied to Fields and Objects
but to every entities
At the moment we have a logic of `EDITABLE_PROPERTIES` through the api,
and also `STANDARD_OVERRIDEDABLE_PROPERTIES`
This should be configuration centered like `propertiesToCompare` and
`propertiesToStringify`.
Scoping this PR to two last for the moment. As update dispatch to
standardOverrides could be considered as a side effect prefer waiting to
start the side effect refactor
### Granular Optimistic deprecation
With this new grain at runtime we will be able to add a flat entity and
dispatch its addition to related flat maps, so we don't have to describe
an optimistic method for each flat entity operations
See `addFlatEntityToFlatEntityAndRelatedEntityMapsOrThrow`
Note: Still in wip and included in this PR but about to create a new one
to integrate these utils and remove existing methods
### ValidateBuildAndRun dynamic args typed defintion
We should restrain the devxp to send expected flat maps entity as at
least from to or dependency as we now have the grain both a type lvl and
runtime to do so
It should not be possible in the devxp to forgot adding the views to the
v2 builder when passing the view field anymore ( that would lead to
permanent validation error in view field integrity checks )
## Conclusion
Thanks for reading and reviewing !
Any suggestions are more than welcomed ! ( same as for questions too ! )
# Introduction
Initial motivation here was to migrate the object related records logic
from v1 to v2, please note that now in v2 views aren't records anymore
but core engine entities
## What's done
- Added specific label identifier targeting view field logic
- Handled side effects on viewField creation with lowest position on
object label identifier mutation
- Added viewField relations in field metadate entity + handled
optimistic in builder v2
- Added view relations in object metadata entity + handled optimistic in
builder v2
- Added integration tests covering the side effects and new validation
exceptions
- Sandardized cache computation
- Coverage on object metadata creation side effect on views and view
fields
## Coverage
```ts
PASS test/integration/graphql/suites/view/view-field/object-identifier-update-side-effect-on-view-field.integration-spec.ts
View Field Resolver - Successful object metadata identifier update side effect on view field
✓ should create a view field on label identifier object metadata update if it does not exist on view (7 ms)
✓ Should not allow deleting a label identifier view field (17 ms)
✓ Should not allow destroying a label identifier view field (6 ms)
✓ Should not allow updating a label identifier view field visibility to false (8 ms)
✓ Should not allow creating a view field with a position lower than the label idenfitier view field (180 ms)
✓ Should not allow updated labelIdentifier view field with a position higher than existing other view field (346 ms)
✓ Should allow updated labelIdentifier view field with a position higher than existing other view field (434 ms)

# Introduction
Extracting the legacy fields build and dispatch out of the object one to
follow the generic flat entity build, also update caches entries for
object
## Main tasks
- flat field map cache
- flat field builder
- refactored the dispatch matrix to return flat entity maps instead of
flat entity arrays
- orchestrator aggregator
- removing legacy code
- making universal identifier aka standardId of standard field for
custom object deterministically dynamic
- perfs debug logs for v2
## TODO
- [x] Refactor the generic entity builder to be dependency flat maps in
order to main foreign keys list in flat parent
- [x] Refactor the flat object metadata to contain the array of related
fields and avoid costy find object fields
- [ ] Improve the create field handler to handle multiple field at once
- [ ] Refactor the dispatch to embbed the comparison
- [ ] Improve perf by extracting from elements out of existing
- [ ] Fix the labelIdentifierId validators on object before field
creation ( integ tests are in failing mode )

```
As you can see cache invalidation is way to long, we could replace the
cache by the optimistic in the end
Fixes https://github.com/twentyhq/twenty/issues/13577.
When naming or renaming an object, we are already checking that the name
was available compared to other existing objects.
But we also need to check that the relation fields that will be created
or updated are available as well: we create relation fields on
Attachment, Note, Favorite, Task and TimelineActivites, that bear the
name of the object. Thus, it is not possible to create an object that
has the same name as one of the fields on Attachment, Note etc: name,
createdAt, ... are not valid names.
- Enable lingui/no-single-variables-to-translate and all other
recommended Lingui rules
- Fix single variable translation patterns (t`${variable}` → variable)
- Fix expression-in-message violations by extracting variables
- Fix t-call-in-function violations by moving translations inside
functions
- Update ESLint configs to use linguiPlugin.configs['flat/recommended']
- Clean up unused imports and improve translation patterns
# Introduction
Introducing v2 object metadata service create one handler v2, not
overkilling the flatObjectMetadata validation for the moment that will
require sequential validation for the import in order to handle
relations and morph relations
# Morph Relation needs some work on the core API
Especially on the Morph types

/>
## Focus Areas:
- GraphQL schema generation
- Query parsing and field selection
- Morph relation field support
- Input type definition preparation
Done :
- add isUnique prop availability on gql update/create fieldMetadata
resolvers
- add unique index creation logic at update & creation
- add unique index deletion logic at update
- update unique index if field name updated
- edge cases : can't have default value and unique fields / standard
default value excluded from index (where clause) / can't have composite
unique fields / can't create unique fields on MORPH

# Introduction
The cache is not accurately typed regarding the `fieldMetadataMaps` they
do not contain relations
In this way we:
- Created dedicated transpilation tools for cache manipulation
- Avoided recursivity in transpilation tools
- Fix and finalized the createMany fields metadata service v2
- Refactor the validator to handle validation :)
## What's next:
- Implem integration tests to make things run 🙃
- migrate existing settings valdiation
- Finish the create object metadata service
- Handle update input transpilation and validation
# Introduction
Following https://github.com/twentyhq/twenty/pull/13420
What has been done:
- `CreateFieldInput` transpilation to `FlatFieldMetadata`
- `FlatFieldMetadata` validator service
- A lof of transpilation utils from `input` to `flatObject` or
`flatField`
- Created dedicated v2 api metadata services
- Introducing `inferDeletionFromMissingObjectFieldIndex` in the builder,
to avoid diffing every object and field of the current workspace we
allow only generating create/update migration operations, usefull when
passing by the api metadata
## We still need to in another PR:
- Implement a strong unit test coverage and critical functions and
services
- Finalize flat field metadata validation exception for `options`
`defaultValue` `settings` and `relations`
- Finalize `flatObjectMetadata` validation and v2 service refactor
- Plug the new service when feature flag is enabled

Fixes https://github.com/twentyhq/twenty/issues/12867
Issue:
when you have a variable `toto` which is: `Record<string, MyType>` and
you do toto['xxx'], this will be typed as `MyType` instead of `MyType |
undefined`
Solutions:
- activate `noUncheckedIndexedAccess` check in tsconfig, this is the
preferred solution but will take time to get there (this raises 600+
errors)
- use a Map: cf https://github.com/twentyhq/twenty/pull/13125/files
- set the type to Partial<Record<string, MyType>>. Drawback is that when
you do Object.values(toto), you'll get `Array<MyType | undefined>`.
Hence why we have to filter these behind
<img width="1512" alt="image"

/>
Currently, when a server query or mutation from the front-end fails, the
error message defined server-side is displayed in a snackbar in the
front-end.
These error messages usually contain technical details that don't belong
to the user interface, such as "ObjectMetadataCollection not found" or
"invalid ENUM value for ...".
**BE**
In addition to the original error message that is still needed (for the
request response, debugging, sentry monitoring etc.), we add a
`displayedErrorMessage` that will be used in the snackbars. It's only
relevant to add it for the messages that will reach the FE (ie. not in
jobs or in rest api for instance) and if it can help the user sort out /
fix things (ie. we do add displayedErrorMessage for "Cannot create
multiple draft versions for the same workflow" or "Cannot delete
[field], please update the label identifier field first", but not
"Object metadata does not exist"), even if in practice in the FE users
should not be able to perform an action that will not work (ie should
not be able to save creation of multiple draft versions of the same
workflows).
**FE**
To ease the usage we replaced enqueueSnackBar with enqueueErrorSnackBar
and enqueueSuccessSnackBar with an api that only requires to pass on the
error.
If no displayedErrorMessage is specified then the default error message
is `An error occured.`
# Introduction
Following https://github.com/twentyhq/twenty/pull/12852
Discovered that:
- `relationCreationPayload` does not seem to be validated through the
input decorators
```ts
// TODO @prastoin implement validation for this with validate nested and dedicated class instance
@IsOptional()
@Field(() => GraphQLJSON, { nullable: true })
relationCreationPayload?: {
targetObjectMetadataId: string;
targetFieldLabel: string;
targetFieldIcon: string;
type: RelationType;
};
```
- Sending an unknown `targetObjectMetadataId` generates an
`internal_server_error` `500` @guillim on the go
## Coverage
```ts
PASS test/integration/metadata/suites/object-metadata/failing-field-metadata-relation-creation.integration-spec.ts
Field metadata relation creation should fail
✓ relation when targetFieldLabel is empty (109 ms)
✓ relation when targetFieldLabel exceeds maximum length (100 ms)
✓ relation when targetObjectMetadataId is unknown (97 ms)
✓ relation when targetFieldLabel contains only whitespace (103 ms)
✓ relation when targetFieldLabel conflicts with an existing field on target object metadata id (108 ms)

Better catching label input
- there were absolutely no check on label when creating the target field
while doing a relation : we crearted these checks here.
- We keep the label quite open to special char as discussed with Felix.
so mostly checking length of label.
- We check that label does not already exists on the targetted object
- making sure the Target fieldinput label is checked before we create
it. The previous checks are not enough since the label goes through
anoteher merthod before going in the database
- validate-metadata-name-is-camel-case.utils.ts : making sure we can use
this error message for metadata name and for target label

In this PR:
## Improve recompute metadata cache performance. We are aiming for
~100ms
Deleting relationMetadata table and FKs pointing on it
Fetching indexMetadata and indexFieldMetadata in a separate query as
typeorm is suboptimizing
## Remove caching lock
As recomputing the metadata cache is lighter, we try to stop preventing
multiple concurrent computations. This also simplifies interfaces
## Introduce self recovery mecanisms to recompute cache automatically if
corrupted
Aka getFreshObjectMetadataMaps
## custom object resolver performance improvement: 1sec to 200ms
Double check queries and indexes used while creating a custom object
Remove the queries to db to use the cached objectMetadataMap
## reduce objectMetadataMaps to 500kb

We used to stored 3 fieldMetadataMaps (byId, byName, byJoinColumnName).
While this is great for devXP, this is not great for performances.
Using the same mecanisme as for objectMetadataMap: we only keep byIdMap
and introduce two otherMaps to idByName, idByJoinColumnName to make the
bridge
## Add dataloader on IndexMetadata (aka indexMetadataList in the API)
## Improve field resolver performances too
## Deprecate ClientConfig
# Introduction
Added a no-explicit-any rule to the twenty-server, not applicable to
tests and integration tests folder
Related to https://github.com/twentyhq/core-team-issues/issues/975
Discussed with Charles
## In case of conflicts
Until this is approved I won't rebased and handle conflict, just need to
drop two latest commits and re run the scripts etc
## Legacy
We decided not to handle the existing lint error occurrences and
programmatically ignored them through a disable next line rule comment
## Open question
We might wanna activate the
[no-explicit-any](https://typescript-eslint.io/rules/no-explicit-any/)
`ignoreRestArgs` for our use case ?
```
ignoreRestArgs?: boolean;
```

This PR attemps at improving sentry grouping and filtering by
- Using the exceptionCode as the fingerprint when the error is a
customException. For this to work in this PR we are now throwing
customExceptions instead of internalServerError deprived of their code.
They will still be converted to Internal server errors when sent back as
response
- Filtering 4xx issues where it was missing (for emailVerification
because errors were not handled, for invalid captcha and billing errors
because they are httpErrors and not graphqlErrors)

# Introduction
In this PR we've migrated `twenty-shared` from a `vite` app
[libary-mode](https://vite.dev/guide/build#library-mode) to a
[preconstruct](https://preconstruct.tools/) "atomic" application ( in
the future would like to introduce preconstruct to handle of all our
atomic dependencies such as `twenty-emails` `twenty-ui` etc it will be
integrated at the monorepo's root directly, would be to invasive in the
first, starting incremental via `twenty-shared`)

## How to test
In order to ease the review this PR will ship all the codegen at the
very end, the actual meaning full diff is `+2,411 −114`
In order to migrate existing dependent packages to `twenty-shared` multi
barrel new arch you need to run in local:
```sh
yarn tsx packages/twenty-shared/scripts/migrateFromSingleToMultiBarrelImport.ts && \
npx nx run-many -t lint --fix -p twenty-front twenty-ui twenty-server twenty-emails twenty-shared twenty-zapier
```
Note that `migrateFromSingleToMultiBarrelImport` is idempotent, it's atm
included in the PR but should not be merged. ( such as codegen will be
added before merging this script will be removed )
## Misc

- https://github.com/twentyhq/twenty/pull/11028
- https://github.com/twentyhq/twenty/pull/10993
- https://github.com/twentyhq/twenty/pull/10960
## Upcoming enhancement: ( in others dedicated PRs )
- 1/ refactor generate barrel to export atomic module instead of `*`
- 2/ generate barrel own package with several files and tests
- 3/ Migration twenty-ui the same way
- 4/ Use `preconstruct` at monorepo global level
