# Introduction
related to https://github.com/twentyhq/core-team-issues/issues/1833
In this PR we're starting the sync-metadata and standardIds deprecation
by introducing `twenty-standard` application that will regroup every
standard object such as company and opportunities. But also the
`custom-workspace-application` which is an app created at the same time
as a workspace and that will regroup everything configure within the
workspace ( custom objects fields etc )
## What's done
On both new workspace and seeded workspace creation:
- Creating a custom workspace app
- Creating a twenty standard app
- Refactored the seed core schema and workspace creation to be run
within a transaction in order to handle circular dependency foreignkey
requirements ( which is deferred for app toward workspace )
- Updated workspace entity to have a custom workspace relation (
nullable for the moment until we implem an upgrade command to handle
retro comp )
- Integration testing on user, workspace creation deletion and expected
default apps creation
- ~~Soft deleted user on `deleteUser`~~ Done by marie and rebased on it
## What's next
- Update seeder to propagate the `twenty-standard` workspace
`applicationId` to every standard synchronized entities ( cheap and fast
iteration through the about to be deprecated sync-metadata as an easy
way to synchronize standards metadata entities ).
- Update seeder to propagate the `custom-workspace-application`
workspace `applicationId` to anything custom ( `pets` and `rockets` )
- Prepend `custom-workspace-application` `applicationId` to every
metadata API operations ( create a specific cache etc )
- Upgrade command on all existing workspace to create a custom app and
associate its applicationId to any existing custom entities
- Make `universalIdentifier` and `applicationId` required for any
syncable entity
Now that all existing and new workspaces have the following syncStage:
- CALENDAR_EVENT_LIST_FETCH_PENDING
- MESSAGE_LIST_FETCH_PENDING
We can fully deprecate the old FULL_CALENDAR_EVENT_LIST_FETCH_PENDING
and PARTIAL_CALENDAR_EVENT_LIST_FETCH_PENDING (full vs partial is now
directly inferred from the presence of a cursor)
# Migrate Attachment Author to CreatedBy Field
**Twill Task**: https://twill.ai/twentyhq/ENG/tasks/7
## Summary
This PR implements a migration to transition the `Attachment` object
from using an `author` relation field to using the standard `createdBy`
field, addressing issue
https://github.com/twentyhq/core-team-issues/issues/1594.
## Changes
- **Added migration command**
(`1-8-migrate-attachment-author-to-created-by.command.ts`):
- Migrates existing attachment data to use `createdBy` instead of
`author`
- Ensures data integrity during the transition to the standard field
pattern
- **Updated Attachment workspace entity**:
- Added `createdBy` relation field to the `Attachment` standard object
- Registered new field ID in `standard-field-ids.ts` constants
- **Integrated migration into upgrade pipeline**:
- Added migration module for version 1.8
- Registered in the main upgrade version command module
This change aligns the `Attachment` object with Twenty's standard field
conventions by using the built-in `createdBy` field instead of a custom
`author` field.

Improvements to database seeding performance and developer experience.
**Changes:**
1. **Attachment seeding**: Add sample files (PDF, XLSX, PPTX, PNG, ZIP)
to dev seeds with proper file storage
2. **Seeding parallelization**: Process entities within batches in
parallel while respecting dependencies
3. **ORM query logging**: Replace manual logger toggling with
`ORM_QUERY_LOGGING` env var
- Values: `disabled` (default), `server-only` (for local dev), `always`
- Configured once in `core.datasource.ts`, removed from all seeder
services
**For .env:**
```bash
ORM_QUERY_LOGGING=server-only
```
Net result: Faster seeding, cleaner code (-68 lines), better local dev
experience.
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.

# 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 )

## Changes Made
- Added phone fields to search indexing: Extended searchable field types
to include `FieldMetadataType.PHONES`
- Updated person entity search configuration: Added `phones` to the
fields indexed for person records
- Enhanced search format support: Phone numbers are now indexed in
multiple formats:
- Raw number: `2071234567`
- International with plus: `+442071234567`
- International without plus: `442071234567`
- Optimized for phone data: Removed unnecessary text processing (e.g.
unaccenting) for numeric phone fields
- Created workspace migration: New command to regenerate search vectors
for existing workspaces
## Technical Details
The implementation modifies PostgreSQL `tsvector` generation to index
both `primaryPhoneNumber` and `primaryPhoneCallingCode` fields,
combining them into international formats. This enables users to search
phone numbers using the formats they naturally type.
### Modified Files
- `is-searchable-field.util.ts` – Added `PHONES` to searchable types
- `person.workspace-entity.ts` – Included `phones` in person search
fields
- `get-ts-vector-column-expression.util.ts` – Enhanced expression
generation to support multiple phone number formats
- `is-searchable-subfield.util.ts` – Added subfield filtering logic for
phone fields
## Testing
- **Unit tests**: Validated `tsvector` expression generation and
phone-specific logic
- **Integration tests**: Covered phone search scenarios across multiple
formats
## Migration
Includes the `upgrade:1-7:regenerate-person-search-vector-with-phones`
command, which safely updates existing workspaces by dropping and
recreating search vectors with phone indexing support.
## Note
Frontend and Backend are both storing normalized phone numbers, as they
should. The issue turned out to be with the seed file instead, which
contained outdated records.
I relied on the database as the source of truth without testing via the
creation of a new record and it was an incorrect evaluation on my part.
Note taken, I will be more comprehensive with my analysis from here on
since I now understand I must check comprehensively before reaching a
conclusion.
The goal of this PR is to test if Twenty can support a large number of
members, a question which was raised by a large company that is
considering moving away from Salesforce.
I was expecting the currentWorkspaceMembersState to cause a lot more
issue. It would be very hard to get rid of it in the context of actors,
I think that would require a big refactoring. I thought we'd have to do
it but it turns out the perf are pretty good. One thing we need to
improve is the pagination on the roles page, we'll wait for @Bonapara to
update that
## Context
To simplify the way we inject our default datasource, I've recently
removed the token injection that was confusion since we only had once
configured on the module level. Now I'm removing TypeORM service which
allows us to instantiate a new Datasource with the same parameters as
the default one, it was redundant and confusing.
Fixes: https://github.com/twentyhq/twenty/issues/13110
I'm deprecating note.body and task.body to remove confusion between body
and bodyV2
What will be left but should be done later to avoid breaking changes:
- re-add a body field in the graphql API only that points to the same
bodyV2 field in SQL (need to be handled in fields and filter for note
and task)
- (wait some time)
- remove bodyV2 field
Let's introduce an object-limited role for Tim, to test and/or spot
incompatibilities with restricted permissions in the future.
Our main user tim@apple.dev is now assigned a role that has all settings
permissions, and all object permissions except for update on Pets (to
test read-only view) and read on Rockets.
Since we still need an admin user for each workspace we are introducing
a new member, Jane, who has the admin role

# What
Fully deprecate old relations because we have one bug tied to it and it
make the codebase complex
# How I've made this PR:
1. remove metadata datasource (we only keep 'core') => this was causing
extra complexity in the refactor + flaky reset
2. merge dev and demo datasets => as I needed to update the tests which
is very painful, I don't want to do it twice
3. remove all code tied to RELATION_METADATA /
relation-metadata.resolver, or anything tied to the old relation system
4. Remove ONE_TO_ONE and MANY_TO_MANY that are not supported
5. fix impacts on the different areas : see functional testing below
# Functional testing
## Functional testing from the front-end:
1. Database Reset ✅
2. Sign In ✅
3. Workspace sign-up ✅
5. Browsing table / kanban / show ✅
6. Assigning a record in a one to many / in a many to one ✅
7. Deleting a record involved in a relation ✅ => broken but not tied to
this PR
8. "Add new" from relation picker ✅ => broken but not tied to this PR
9. Creating a Task / Note, Updating a Task / Note relations, Deleting a
Task / Note (from table, show page, right drawer) ✅ => broken but not
tied to this PR
10. creating a relation from settings (custom / standard x oneToMany /
manyToOne) ✅
11. updating a relation from settings should not be possible ✅
12. deleting a relation from settings (custom / standard x oneToMany /
manyToOne) ✅
13. Make sure timeline activity still work (relation were involved
there), espacially with Task / Note => to be double checked ✅ => Cannot
convert undefined or null to object
14. Workspace deletion / User deletion ✅
15. CSV Import should keep working ✅
16. Permissions: I have tested without permissions V2 as it's still hard
to test v2 work and it's not in prod yet ✅
17. Workflows global test ✅
## From the API:
1. Review open-api documentation (REST) ✅
2. Make sure REST Api are still able to fetch relations ==> won't do, we
have a coupling Get/Update/Create there, this requires refactoring
3. Make sure REST Api is still able to update / remove relation => won't
do same
## Automated tests
1. lint + typescript ✅
2. front unit tests: ✅
3. server unit tests 2 ✅
4. front stories: ✅
5. server integration: ✅
6. chromatic check : expected 0
7. e2e check : expected no more that current failures
## Remove // Todos
1. All are captured by functional tests above, nothing additional to do
## (Un)related regressions
1. Table loading state is not working anymore, we see the empty state
before table content
2. Filtering by Creator Tim Ap return empty results
3. Not possible to add Tasks / Notes / Files from show page
# Result
## New seeds that can be easily extended

## -5k lines of code
## No more 'metadata' dataSource (we only have 'core)
## No more relationMetadata (I haven't drop the table yet it's not
referenced in the code anymore)
## We are ready to fix the 6 months lag between current API results and
our mocked tests
## No more bug on relation creation / deletion
