## PR Description
In the process of migrating all the existing commands to the backend, we
stumbled across a couple of problems that made us reconsider the full
migration. This PR introduces a way for command menu items to bypass
front components and to directly reference a frontend component from
twenty front.
It:
- Introduces a `engineFrontComponentKey` field on `CommandMenuItem` as
an alternative to `frontComponentId` and `workflowVersionId`, allowing
command menu items to reference frontend components by key directly
rather than requiring a FrontComponent entity
- Updates the DB constraint to allow exactly one of `workflowVersionId`,
`frontComponentId`, or `engineFrontComponentKey`
### All standard command menu items from the frontend which use
`standardFrontComponentKey`
These are all commands that execute a GraphQL query or a mutation.
Two mains concerned have been raised that made us go with this
(temporary) architecture instead:
- If those commands are part of the standard application, they can only
alter objects from that application and not custom objects.
- We would need to implement a way to trigger optimistic rendering from
the front components, which might take some time to implement.
List:
- Create new record
- Delete (single record)
- Delete records (multiple)
- Restore record
- Restore records (multiple)
- Permanently destroy record
- Permanently destroy records (multiple)
- Add to favorites
- Remove from favorites
- Merge records
- Duplicate Dashboard
- Save Dashboard
- Save Page Layout
- Activate Workflow
- Deactivate Workflow
- Discard Draft (workflow)
- Test Workflow
- Tidy up workflow
- Duplicate Workflow
- Stop (workflow run)
- Use as draft (workflow version)

## 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.
Issue 1: no info to debug cron trigger. Stop catching exception + using
logs instead of throwing for now
Issue 2: sentry often send timeouts errors for workflow crons. Probably
not real ones, it sends it if the job takes more than 5 minutes to run.
To fix, on each workflow cron we do:
- loop over active workspaces
- perform a query check that workspace is relevant, using count for
performances
- send a job if relevant
# Refactor workflow–logic function interaction
## Why
Workflow code steps and standalone logic functions shared the same build
layer and DB layer, which blurred two use cases: code steps belong to a
workflow version; standalone functions are deployable units. That made
workflow code steps harder to own and evolve.
## Goal
Treat code steps as **workflow-owned**: build and run them in workflow
context, and expose workflow-scoped APIs so the editor can load, test,
and save code step source without going through the generic
logic-function layer.
# Introduction
In preparation of the workspace agnostic builder, we're migrating
`FlatEntityMaps` to be universal identifier oriented and based
As in the builder context there're won't be any ids at all
Please also note that the FlatEntity is a UniversalFlatEntity superset
From
```ts
import { type SyncableFlatEntity } from 'src/engine/metadata-modules/flat-entity/types/flat-entity-from.type';
export type FlatEntityMaps<T extends SyncableFlatEntity> = {
byId: Partial<Record<string, T>>;
idByUniversalIdentifier: Partial<Record<string, string>>;
universalIdentifiersByApplicationId: Partial<Record<string, string[]>>;
};
```
To
```ts
export type FlatEntityMaps<
T extends SyncableFlatEntity | UniversalSyncableFlatEntity,
> = {
byUniversalIdentifier: Partial<Record<string, T>>;
universalIdentifierById: Partial<Record<string, string>>;
universalIdentifiersByApplicationId: Partial<Record<string, string[]>>; // this might make more sense to be migrated to universalIdentifiersByApplicationUniversalIdentifier but it's the main topic of this PR
};
```
## Low level maps tools
Had to refactor find | create | delete | replace | find-many | get-sub
tools ( through mutations and or throw equivalent )
## Context
Introduces a middleware that automatically sets the workspace auth
context in AsyncLocalStorage for HTTP requests, making it available
throughout the request lifecycle without explicit parameter passing.
The motivation behind this change is to reduce boilerplate and simplify
the developer experience when working with workspace data in HTTP
request handlers.
The Problem (Before)
Every HTTP request handler that needed to access workspace data had to:
- Extract auth-related info from decorators (@AuthWorkspace(),
@AuthUserWorkspaceId(), etc.) in controller/resolver and pass down to
services
- Build or pass the authContext explicitly (sometimes with type
assertion which was flaky)
Then call executeInWorkspaceContext(authContext, async () => { ... })
## Changes
- Add WorkspaceAuthContextMiddleware that extracts auth context from the
request and stores it in AsyncLocalStorage
- Register middleware for GraphQL, metadata, and REST routes (runs after
hydration middlewares)
- Simplify executeInWorkspaceContext signature: fn is now the first
parameter, authContext is optional second
- If authContext is not provided, it's automatically retrieved from the
storage (set by middleware)
- Update all callers (~120 files) to use the new parameter order
- Fixes a bug in search where system auth context was used, bypassing
RLS feature.
# Introduction
Currently refactoring `flatEntity` typing, encountering some tsc errors
due to this fk aggregator custom override
It shall now follow generic pattern leading to be named `fieldIds`
Needs to flush object cache when released
This PR changes the shape and logic of SSE events `DELETE` and
`RESTORE`, because they behave like `UPDATE` events in practice, they
should share the same logic.
Before this PR, it was impossible for the frontend to obtain the
`deletedAt` value, and the logic to handle soft-delete and restore would
have been flawed.
Because there is a typing confusion in the parameters of
`formatTwentyOrmEventToDatabaseBatchEvent`, due to TypeORM, we also
update this util to only accept an array of records, instead of `T |
T[]`. We should improve our TypeORM layer in the future.
Also the naming was not clear, so we clearly use `recordsAfter` and
`recordsBefore` as much as possible, because that is what we have at the
end in events.
Events are sent from their respective query builders, so these last ones
have been updated also.
Because TypeORM `soft-remove` operation only returns record ids, we add
`.getMany()` to fetch all fields for soft-removed records, so that our
event can have before and after.
This PR migrates the workflow CRUD services to use the Common API
(CommonQueryRunners) instead of directly accessing TwentyORM.
## Changes
- Created CommonApiContextBuilderService to build context for Common API
- Migrated CreateRecordService to use CommonCreateOneQueryRunnerService
- Migrated UpdateRecordService to use CommonUpdateOneQueryRunnerService
- Migrated DeleteRecordService to use CommonDeleteOneQueryRunnerService
- Migrated FindRecordsService to use CommonFindManyQueryRunnerService
- Migrated UpsertRecordService to use Common API with upsert flag
- Removed unused get-selected-columns-from-restricted-fields.util.ts
- Updated module dependencies
## Benefits
- Consistent permission checking via Common API
- Query hooks (before/after execution)
- Automatic input transformation
- Same behavior as REST/GraphQL APIs
- Reduced code duplication
# 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.
## 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

<!-- /CURSOR_SUMMARY -->
## Context
Following https://github.com/twentyhq/twenty/pull/16399
Now using the new global orm manager everywhere and returning a
GlobalDatasource/WorkspaceDatasource based on a feature flag.
This means we now need to wrap all our ORM calls within
executeInWorkspaceContext callback (at least for now) so the global
datasource can dynamically hydrate its context via the new store (the
global datasource does not store anything related to workspaces as it is
now a unique singleton). If feature flag is off it still uses local data
stored in the workspace datasource.
Changes:
- as we store date in redis as serialized, let's make all flatEntity
dates as string. This requires changing FlatEntity types and making sure
that entity are converted to flatEntity and flatEntity to dtos
Fixes multiple issues with CRON schedule input validation and execution
time display.
### Issues Fixed
1. **UTC label placement** - Added "UTC" suffix to specific times (e.g.,
"at 09:30 UTC") but not to interval descriptions (e.g., "every hour")
2. **Upcoming execution time calculation** - Fixed incorrect execution
times for malformed CRON expressions by implementing auto-correction
### Changes
- Created `normalizeCronExpression` utility to standardize cron
expressions before parsing
- Updated `formatTime` to support optional UTC suffix
- Enhanced `getHoursDescription` to append UTC to specific times
- Added comprehensive test coverage (102 tests passing)
### Before
- `"1 /3 * * *"` showed daily executions at same time (incorrect)
- `"9 * * *"` showed same time repeated 3 times (incorrect)
- No UTC labels on schedule descriptions (confusing)
### After
- All malformed expressions auto-corrected and show correct execution
times
- UTC labels clearly indicate timezone for specific times
- User-friendly error messages for truly invalid patterns
Closes#15870
## Context
Deprecating TwentyORMManager in favor of TwentyORMGlobalManager
(temporarily, as this will simplify the ultimate goal to later replace
all usages with the new TwentyORMGlobalManagerV2 which will have a
similar signature)
This means this PR had to refactor a bit of code to pass down the
workspaceId when not available directly as it is now a requirement,
meaning we also deprecated scopedWorkspaceContextFactory to have a less
obscure way to fetch the workspaceId and have something more
declarative.
Step 3 will be to update TwentyORMGlobalManager to use a featureFlag
toggling and use the new GlobalWorkspaceOrmManager internally using the
new cache service
Step 4 will be to remove the feature flag and pg_pool patch
## 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
@charlesBochet
In workflow codebase, NULL (instead of empty object) is expected on
workflow version object step field, when a new workflow is created for
example.
(packages/twenty-front/src/modules/workflow/workflow-diagram/utils/generateWorkflowDiagram.ts
- 42)
This case is not isolated and it creates many issues.
We decided to format NULL value to equivalent (empty string for text
field, empty object for raw_json) but it seems it complicates the dev x.
To unlock @Devessier I prefer revert the logic, the time we discuss how
to solve this cases.
- on draft creation, do not fetch the full version. Avoid the fetch of
steps and trigger
- on activation, we were performing 8 queries/mutations synchronously +
2 additional for automated triggers. I refacto the call it it gets
reduced to 4 queries/mutations + 2 additional for automated triggers
## Improvements
- Add logs to all gql operations and rest calls to help debug CPU issues
on the backend. These are temporary and should be removed
- Remove nested relations from workflowVersions load (used to add manual
triggers in the side bar). On some workspaces this call result in a
response of 4MB which is heavy on CPU
- Investigated Redis Usage ==> made a few improvements, we are should
still migrate to the new cache service once available
- investigated db calls in messaging / calendar fetch list + workflow
enqueue run cron jobs. Everything seems to be properly batched
https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/d6c565eb-9a29-4830-9396-5f979c8caa7b
- Added a new component for manual trigger (mostly duplicated from
previous one). Will remove the old one once all data are migrated
- Updated schema output so the current item of the iterator can be typed
Todo left:
- migrate old triggers
- add an util to search iterator output. Today current item fields will
be displayed as not found
- set new manual triggers for workflow runs
- Added 'Cron will be triggered at UTC time' notice below trigger
interval dropdown
- Positioned correctly between dropdown and expression field to match
design
- Only shows when Custom CRON option is selected

- replace save by insert
- if the insert output is needed, cast the generatedMaps
- remove transactions from trigger services. Doing it manually would be
complex and not reliable
This Pr continues the extensibility journey
- adds a `core.databaseEventTrigger` table
- add a oneToMany relation between `core.serverlessFunction` and
`core.databaseEventTrigger`
- add a job `CallDatabaseEventTriggerJobsJob` triggered by
`EntityEventsToDbListener` triggering `serverlessFunction` based on the
`core.databaseEventTrigger.settings.eventName`
- add a new `trigger-queue` to carry this job
- renamed `DatabaseEventTriggerListener` into
`WorkflowDatabaseEventTriggerListener`
This Pr begins the extensibility journey
- adds a `core.cronTrigger` table
- add a oneToMany relation between core.serverlessFunction and
`core.cronTrigger` (one serverlessFunction can be triggered by multiple
cronTriggers)
- add a job to trigger a serverless function
- adds a cron to trigger serverlessFunction (via the trigger job) based
on the core.cronTrigger.setting.pattern
- adds a command to register the cron
- add the command in `cron-register-all.command.ts`
## 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.
Today WorkflowVariablesDropdownAllItems is used for variable picker in
all workflow steps, and for step field picker in filters.
Using that component in filters prevent us from knowing if a full record
or only the id has been selected.
This PR:
- creates a new component WorkflowDropdownStepOutputItems, mostly
copying the logic of WorkflowVariablesDropdownAllItems
- call it WorkflowStepFilterFieldSelect, removing the display logic from
that parent component
- store isFullRecord in filter. So we now know if we should display a
record picker or a uuid picker
Before - selecting id makes picker behaves like when we select an object
https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/bde34dc5-8011-4983-8d0f-d8cb0cb3c045
After - selecting object and id are two different things
https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/49289990-3e6d-4ad7-abc1-e3ade2a821bb
Improve workflow enqueue cron : instead of relying on the cache to know
how many workflows we can enqueue, query the DB. Then set the cache and
process the not started workflows.
Also adding a second cron that will look for workflows enqueued one hour
ago or more and put these back in the not started status. This will
allow the first cron to start these again.
This PR aims to improve performances as we are making A LOT of queries
after having added events emission to the ORM layer. While investigating
issues, I've come across multiple problems I will describe below
## Add index on workspace.activationStatus as we are querying it a lot
As per title
## Add logs on core datasource destroy
It seems that we have postgres connection pool destruction in
production. I cannot reproduce locally but I suspect the Query Timeouts
to be the root cause. I'm fixing most of the Query Timeouts cause in
this PR but I'm adding the logs so we have more information in case in
keeps happening in production.
## GraphQL query runner createMany
It was using a for loop on each record. This is as issue has we will
emit an event separately for each record => we should always try to
batch events.
Replacing by a save on all records. Note that this is not perfect as we
should avoid using save (bad performances), and use insert + updateMany
instead. As I have follow up discussions regarding permissions, I
haven't replaced it by insert and updateMany yet. Using save instead of
a for loop makes the problem less worrying.
## Introduce updateMany in ORM @Weiko @ijreilly FYI
.save(manyRecords) is bad as it's querying the data for no good reason
(and doing a select for each record...).
We already have .insert(), i'm introducing .updateMany()
I think our ORM layer should be simplified a lot but I'm not starting
the refacto yet
## Fixing ORM @Weiko @ijreilly FYI
- Fixing events emission in delete function
- Fixing events emission in insert function
- make sure everything is batched
## Events performance @Weiko @ijreilly FYI
Do not emit timelineActivity db events as this does not seem useful and
is quite heavy
## Messaging and Calendar performance @bosiraphael FYI
Rework many functions to make sure they are batched. This does not touch
the driver layer and I have heavily tested it. (multiple account, with
multiple channels, common thread, common messages, etc...)
## Workflow Trigger relation Fetch performance @martmull FYI
Improved performance by batching
Fixes https://github.com/twentyhq/twenty/issues/13428
We perform the call enrichment even with id undefined. It returns the
first item in DB.
Adding two more fixes related to filters:
- Conditions title
- Fixing placeholder color for select control (only other impacted field
is in Advanced filters)
We will have floating steps in our workflow with the branch design.
Currently, a step without parent is considered linked to the trigger. We
need to distinguish the 2 cases. Thus this PR:
- add `nextStepIds` to workflowVersion.trigger
- create a command to migrate existing triggers
- add fieldMetadataId to step output schema
- use it to display FormFieldInput in Filter input
- few fixes for a few fields
Next step:
- Handle composite fields
- Design review
