Fixes https://github.com/twentyhq/twenty/issues/21043
## Context
Newly created fields were never added to FIELDS widgets, regardless of
the "Set fields created in the future as visible" toggle. The widget's
newFieldDefaultVisibility was null on widgets that never explicitly set
it (it was never populated at creation), so the backend skipped them and
no view field was created.
## Implementation
Keep newFieldDefaultVisibility nullable with false (not visible) as the
behavior when not provided.
The FE now reflects that properly and shows "un-toggled" when it's null
(iso with BE behavior).
The fix also ensures the value is explicitly set to true wherever it
should be:
- Set newFieldDefaultVisibility: true at every FIELDS widget creation
path (backend default record-page layout, frontend
createDefaultFieldsWidget + useTemporaryFieldsConfiguration);
- Added a 2-9 workspace upgrade command that backfills true onto
existing standard FIELDS widgets where the value is null.
## Summary
Extends `yarn twenty add` → **Object** so it scaffolds a complete record
page out
of the box:
- A **record-page-fields view** (`<name>-record-page-fields.ts`,
FIELDS_WIDGET)
pre-populated with the `name` field plus the auto-generated default
fields (`createdAt`,
`updatedAt`, `createdBy`, `updatedBy`) — the default-field entries are
emitted as
`generateDefaultFieldUniversalIdentifier({ objectUniversalIdentifier,
fieldName: '...' })`
calls rather than pre-computed UUIDs, so the generated file
double-serves as
documentation for the public util.
- A **record page layout** (`<name>-record-page-layout.ts`) with a Home
tab whose Fields
widget points at the new view (via `viewUniversalIdentifier`), plus a
Timeline tab.
- The companion prompt now covers all three artefacts (was view + nav
menu item).
Fix: Server-side, renames `viewId` → `viewUniversalIdentifier` on the
universal-flat FIELDS
widget configuration so it is consistent with other universal-flat
references. The DB-side
DTO keeps `viewId` (now typed as `SerializedRelation`), and the
conversion utils map
between the two.

# 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
## Context
Creating a new object should now also create its record page layout,
tabs and widgets, including fields widget with its associated views/view
fields.
Custom objects record page layout fields widgets don't have section per
default
Note: I had to enable some widget creation through the custom API but we
should now implement proper validation (which should be minimal since
there is usually only the configuration type in the configuration
(except for FIELDS widget which contains a viewId)
Next step: Create view field should also create a viewField for the
FIELDS_WIDGET view (we should also add in the FIELDS widget
configuration a newFieldDefaults which will contain default visibility
and position to apply to the new view field)
The feature is still gated behind an env variable (this was necessary
for workspace creation, not so much here in this case but I prefer to
keep the same path for consistence)
# Introduction
Completely finalize the universal migration at builder and runner
levels.
Which mean that from now on the builder only compares
`universalFlatEntity` and produces universal workspace migration that
the runner ingest
## What's done
Migrated all create metadata remaining for
- agent
- skill
- commandMenuItem
- navigationMenuItem
- fieldMetadata
- objectMetadata
- view
- viewField
- viewFilter
- viewGroup
- viewFilterGroup
- index
- logicFunction
- role
- roleTarget
- pageLayout
- pageLayoutTab
- pageLayoutWidget
- rowLevelPermissionPredicate
- rowLevelPermissionPredicateGroup
- frontComponent
- Add widget validation
- Remove 'None' option for primary axis group by
- Fix error message parsing by passing the operation type in
`useMetadataErrorHandler`
