# Introduction
Followup of
https://github.com/twentyhq/twenty/pull/17001#pullrequestreview-3638508738
close https://github.com/twentyhq/core-team-issues/issues/1910
We've completely decom the `sync-metadata` in production. We're now then
removing its implementation in favor of the v2.
## TODO:
- [x] Remove sync-metadata implem and commands
- [x] Remove workspace decorators
- [x] Type each deprecated field to deprecated on their workspaceEntity
- [x] Remove the `workspace-sync-metadata` folder entirely
- [x] remove workspace migration
- [x] workspace migration removal migration
- [x] remove the `v2` references from workspace manager file names
- [x] remove the `v2` references from workspace manager modules
- [ ] Double check impact on translation file path updates
## Note
- Removed the gate logic
- Remains some service v2 naming, serverless needs to be migrated on v2
fully
- Removed workspaceMigration service app health consumption, making it
always returning up ( no more down ) cc @FelixMalfait ( quite obsolete
health check now, will require complete refactor once we introduce inter
app dependency etc )
## Context
The feature has not been maintained for more than a year and was never
officially launched.
This PR removes its code due to the upcoming refactoring of the
sync-metadata that will break its logic if not handled properly and it
would be too costly for the time being.
TODO:
- remove isRemote from object/field metadata
And remove IS_GLOBAL_WORKSPACE_DATASOURCE_ENABLED

# Introduction
Added a `WorkspaceRelated` and `AllNonWorkspaceRelatedEntity` to
simplify the `FlatEntityFrom` that now do not expect a string literal to
omit and itself builds the related many to one entities foreign key
aggregators
We now have the type grain over relation to syncable or just workspace
related entities
Added a migrations that sets the fk on missing entities
## Next
In upcoming PR we will be able to introduce such below type
```ts
import { type CastRecordTypeOrmDatePropertiesToString } from 'src/engine/metadata-modules/flat-entity/types/cast-record-typeorm-date-properties-to-string.type';
import { type ExtractEntityManyToOneEntityRelationProperties } from 'src/engine/metadata-modules/flat-entity/types/extract-entity-many-to-one-entity-relation-properties.type';
import { type ExtractEntityOneToManyEntityRelationProperties } from 'src/engine/metadata-modules/flat-entity/types/extract-entity-one-to-many-entity-relation-properties.type';
import { type ExtractEntityRelatedEntityProperties } from 'src/engine/metadata-modules/flat-entity/types/extract-entity-related-entity-properties.type';
import { type RemoveSuffix } from 'src/engine/workspace-manager/workspace-migration-v2/workspace-migration-builder-v2/types/remove-suffix.type';
import { type SyncableEntity } from 'src/engine/workspace-manager/workspace-sync/types/syncable-entity.interface';
export type UniversalFlatEntityFrom<TEntity extends SyncableEntity> = Omit<
TEntity,
| `${ExtractEntityManyToOneEntityRelationProperties<TEntity> & string}Id`
| ExtractEntityRelatedEntityProperties<TEntity>
| 'application'
| 'workspaceId'
| 'applicationId'
| keyof CastRecordTypeOrmDatePropertiesToString<TEntity>
> &
CastRecordTypeOrmDatePropertiesToString<TEntity> & {
[P in ExtractEntityManyToOneEntityRelationProperties<TEntity> &
string as `${RemoveSuffix<P, 's'>}UniversalIdentifier`]: string;
} & {
[P in ExtractEntityOneToManyEntityRelationProperties<
TEntity,
SyncableEntity
> &
string as `${RemoveSuffix<P, 's'>}UniversalIdentifiers`]: string[];
};
```
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.
Removing the feature flag to enable read on replica for all workspaces.
It will still be possible to toggle off the feature by removing the env
variable `PG_DATABASE_REPLICA_URL`.
## 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

# TimelineActivity migration to morph
- Creates `timelineActivities2` relations on Company, Dashboard, Note,
Opportunity, Person, Task, Workflow, WorkflowRun, and WorkflowVersion
entities with proper metadata and cascade delete behavior.
It was required to create standard fields as well since the
mapObjectMetadataByUniqueIdentifier needs it. otherwise the fields won't
be considered
- Feature Flag `IS_TIMELINE_ACTIVITY_MIGRATED` necessary to have the two
states in parallel. It is used as a stamp once the migration has been
run
- Migration is done using the coreDataSource. Why ?
even though is unsafe to use, the first implementation of the migration
took forever on each workspace. See [this
commit](https://github.com/twentyhq/twenty/pull/15652/commits/477011e8d7d4c580f79ba7ec4a8fb002a3ec86b2)
The plan for this complex migration is as follows :
Note: we will need to rename fields in the release 1.12 (there is no
easy way to do all this in one release)
## Context
We've recently introduced a new workspace cache service which now acts
as a cache access and local storage for all workspace related data,
deprecating the individual specific services.
- Better performance through multiple caching/fetching strategies
- Consistent data access patterns across the codebase
- Reduced redis queries through MGET/MSET/PIPELINE with multiple cache
keys
closes https://github.com/twentyhq/core-team-issues/issues/1629
To do before requesting review :
- filter update
Migration to come in an other PR
Strat :
1/ Null transformation
- [x] Transform NULL equivalent value to NULL in field validation in
common api - pre-query - with feature flag
- [ ] Same logic in ORM (Not done, complex to handle feature flag here)
- [x] Transform NULL value to equivalent in data formatting in ORM -
post-query
2/ Migration (in other PR) for fieldMetadata not nullable with default
defaultValue (empty string, ...)
- [ ] Remove NOT NULL db constraint
- [ ] Update record value to NULL
- [ ] Update field metadata : isNullable:true
- [ ] Update uniqueIndex whereClause (also for standard uniqueIndex)
- [ ] Activate feature flag
3/ Update metadata creation
- [x] No more default default value
- [x] Update standard field nullability
- [x] Remove index default whereClause for standard field
4/ Update filter
- [x] When filtering on NULL or empty string, be sure all records are
returned (the one with NULL + the one with "")
5/ Test
- [ ] Strat. to do
## Context
inferDeletionFromEntities only accepts a set of keys for each entities
that needs deletion. This could be error-prone if tmr we want to add a
new side effect and forget to add the entity when in practice you want
to delete all entities that are in the fromToAllFlatEntityMaps (this is
the case for applications for example)
## Context
This PR introduces a Global Workspace DataSource that consolidates
workspace-specific database access through a single TypeORM DataSource
instance with AsyncLocalStorage-based context management instead of N
workspace datasources.
- Created GlobalWorkspaceDataSource extending TypeORM's DataSource to
manage multiple workspaces with entity metadata caching (1-hour TTL)
- Implemented AsyncLocalStorage for workspace context propagation
(WorkspaceContextForStorage) containing workspace ID, metadata,
permissions, and feature flags
- Modified query execution flow to wrap operations in workspace context
via GlobalWorkspaceOrmManager.executeInWorkspaceContext()
- Added schema name to entity schemas for proper multi-tenant database
separation
Next:
- use the new global workspace datasource everywhere and deprecate
workspace datasource factory
- improve metadata caching using a short TTL to avoid multiple calls to
redis
- Leverage the new WorkspaceContextALS and put it higher in the request
hierarchy to have access to permission, metadata and featureflag
everywhere --- build it manually for commands --- find a way to
propagate it in jobs?
- Remove PG_POOL patch once we have a unique datasource and increase
global datasource pool size
## Implementation
Why ALS:
1. Automatic Per-Request Isolation
With schema-based multi-tenancy, each workspace has its own PostgreSQL
schema
(e.g. workspace_20202020-1c25-4d02-bf25-6aeccf7ea419).
The critical challenge is ensuring that concurrent requests from
different tenants don't interfere with each other.
```typescript
// Request A (Workspace 1) and Request B (Workspace 2) executing concurrently
// Without ALS: Race condition — they'd share the same global state!
// With ALS: Each request has isolated context ✓
```
ALS automatically isolates context per async execution chain, so:
- Request from Tenant A → ALS stores workspaceId: "tenant-a" → Queries
hit workspace_tenant_a schema
- Request from Tenant B → ALS stores workspaceId: "tenant-b" → Queries
hit workspace_tenant_b schema
✅ No interference, even when executing simultaneously on the same
Node.js event loop.
2. No Manual Context Passing
Before ALS, you'd need to pass workspaceId through every function call:
```typescript
// ❌ Without ALS - Context threading nightmare
getRepository(workspaceId, entity)
→ createEntityManager(workspaceId)
→ getMetadata(workspaceId, target)
→ findInCache(workspaceId, cacheKey)
```
With ALS:
```typescript
// ✅ With ALS - Clean, implicit context
getRepository(entity) // Reads workspaceId from ALS
→ createEntityManager() // Reads workspaceId from ALS
→ getMetadata(target) // Reads workspaceId from ALS
→ findInCache(cacheKey) // Reads workspaceId from ALS
```
example
```typescript
override findMetadata(target: EntityTarget<ObjectLiteral>): EntityMetadata | undefined {
const context = getWorkspaceContext(); // 👈 Automatically gets the right workspace!
const { workspaceId, metadataVersion } = context;
const cacheKey = `${workspaceId}-${metadataVersion}`;
// ... returns metadata for THIS workspace's schema
}
```
3. Async Chain Propagation
Node.js operations are heavily async. ALS automatically propagates
context through:
- async/await chains
- Promise chains
- Callbacks
```typescript
executeInWorkspaceContext(workspaceId, async () => {
await prepareContext(); // Has context ✓
const results = await run(); // Has context ✓
await enrichResults(); // Has context ✓
// Even nested async operations maintain context!
await Promise.all([
saveToCache(), // Has context ✓
emitEvent(), // Has context ✓
logMetrics(), // Has context ✓
]);
});
```
5. Schema-Specific Metadata Caching
The implementation caches entity metadata per workspace + version:
```typescript
// Cache key format: "workspaceId-metadataVersion"
const cacheKey = `${workspaceId}-${metadataVersion}`;
```
Why this matters with schemas:
- Each workspace has different table structures (custom fields, objects)
- EntitySchema includes schema: "workspace_xxx" property
- Each cached metadata points to the correct schema
ALS ensures getWorkspaceContext() returns the right workspaceId,
so you always get the correct schema's metadata from cache.
6. Single DataSource for All Tenants
The key change here:
```typescript
// ❌ Old approach: One DataSource per tenant
const dataSourceTenantA = new DataSource({ schema: 'workspace_a' });
const dataSourceTenantB = new DataSource({ schema: 'workspace_b' });
// Problem: Hundreds of DB connection pools!
```
```typescript
// ✅ New approach: One shared DataSource + ALS context
const globalDataSource = new GlobalWorkspaceDataSource();
// ALS determines which schema to use at runtime
```
When you call:
```typescript
globalDataSource.getRepository('person');
```
It internally does:
```typescript
const context = getWorkspaceContext(); // Gets current tenant from ALS
const metadata = this.findMetadata('person'); // Finds metadata for THIS tenant's schema
// EntityMetadata includes: schema: "workspace_20202020-1c25..."
// TypeORM automatically queries: SELECT * FROM "workspace_20202020-1c25...".person
```
7. Request Lifecycle Example
```typescript
// 1. GraphQL request arrives: "query people { ... }"
// 2. Middleware extracts authContext.workspace.id = "tenant-a"
// 3. Query runner wraps execution in ALS:
executeInWorkspaceContext("tenant-a", async () => {
// 4. Everything inside has access to workspace context:
const repo = getRepository('person'); // ALS → tenant-a
const metadata = getMetadata('person'); // ALS → tenant-a → cache["tenant-a-v5"]
// 5. TypeORM builds query with correct schema:
// SELECT * FROM "workspace_tenant_a"."person" WHERE ...
// 6. Even nested calls work:
await saveAuditLog(); // ALS → tenant-a → correct audit schema
await emitWebhook(); // ALS → tenant-a → correct tenant webhook
});
// 7. Request completes, ALS context automatically cleaned up
```
8. Safety & Error Prevention
```typescript
// If you forget to set context:
const context = getWorkspaceContext();
// ❌ Throws: "Workspace context not set..."
// Fails fast rather than querying wrong schema!
// Can't accidentally query wrong tenant:
// Context is immutable within execution scope
```
Prevent users from creating v2 chart types via the api.
Only created unit tests and not integration tests (since it's not that
important, and the v2 will be released soon), but tested via the api
playground.
To be done in an other PR, move graphql-query-runner handlers in
common-api-query-runner folder (+ renaming + typing improvments)
Fixes :
- totalCount on findMany (Rest)
- getAllSelectedFields did not handle composite field (Rest)
- issue with endCursor (Rest)
- args processing for updateOne and createOne (Rest + Gql)
- fix findDuplicates (Gql)
closes https://github.com/twentyhq/core-team-issues/issues/1418
Tested :
- findOne on Rest and Gql
### Vision
#### Common
- Common is kind of renamed Gql base resolver
- Common handles args (filter, values, ...) validation
- Common accepts depth or raw gql selected fields to compute
selectedFields
- Common is directly called by each CommonQueries (findOne, ...)
service, which extend CommonBaseQuery service
- Common sequence :
| - Parse & Validate args (args-handlers, to create)
| - Build query (query-parsers : currently in gql-query-parsers, to
move)
| - Execute query
| - Fetch relation + format
#### Rest
- Simple parsing (without metadata validation)
- Calling Common API
- Simple rest response formatting
#### Gql
- Calling Common API
Updates of the hello-world application
- remove the old hello-world application
- adds an object "postCard"
- adds a serverlessFunction `create-new-post-card` that calls the twenty
api to create a new postCard record
- add a route trigger /post-card/create?recipient=John
## Summary
Implements the foundation for dynamic search field configuration from
[issue #1428](https://github.com/twentyhq/core-team-issues/issues/1428).
## Changes
- Add `SearchFieldMetadataEntity` junction table for storing searchable
field configurations
- Add `SearchFieldMetadataService` with core CRUD operations
- Add `SearchFieldMetadataModule` following existing patterns
- Add `IS_DYNAMIC_SEARCH_FIELDS_ENABLED` feature flag (defaults to
`false`)
- Database migration with proper indexes and foreign keys
## Architecture
Uses a junction table where **record existence = field is searchable**:
**Table: `searchFieldMetadata(objectMetadataId, fieldMetadataId,
workspaceId)`**
- Unique constraint on `(objectMetadataId, fieldMetadataId)`
- `ON DELETE CASCADE` on foreign keys
## Testing
- [x] Migration runs successfully
- [x] Table created with correct schema
- [x] Feature flag seeded properly
- [x] Database reset works correctly
## Next Steps
Future PRs will handle:
- Data migration from existing hardcoded search field configs
- Integration with search services
✅ No breaking changes — fully backward compatible.
