## Context
When an object is created via the metadata API, `createOneObject`
creates its side-effect entities (INDEX view + viewFields, indexes,
navigation menu item, "go to" command menu item, record-page fields
view, page layout/tabs/widgets) across **three separate
`validateBuildAndRunWorkspaceMigration` calls**, purely because the
protection behavior (mutations → overrides, delete → deactivate, reset →
reactivate) was keyed on *"owned by the standard app"*, forcing the side
effects into batches with different application owners. This
misrepresents ownership and breaks atomicity.
This PR separates two orthogonal concepts:
- **Ownership** (`applicationId`), the true owner: the caller's
application (the workspace custom app today, 3rd-party apps later).
- **Protection** (`isSystemSideEffect`), the row was generated by the
system, so user mutations route to overrides, deletion becomes
deactivation, and reset restores defaults.
Once side effects are re-owned to the caller, the old `applicationId ===
standardApp` check can no longer tell an original side-effect row from a
user-added one so a dedicated `isSystemSideEffect` flag carries the
protection instead.
This is **PR 1 of 2** (forward-only). It makes newly created objects and
fields correct; existing workspaces are handled by a follow-up backfill
(see *Out of scope*).
## What this PR does
- **`isSystemSideEffect` column** on the 8 affected entities (`view`,
`viewField`, `indexMetadata`, `commandMenuItem`, `pageLayout`,
`pageLayoutTab`, `pageLayoutWidget`, `fieldMetadata`), with
`@WasIntroducedInUpgrade` + an entry in the flat-entity property
configuration (`toCompare: true`, read-only).
- **Single atomic migration in `createOneObject`**: the three
`validateBuildAndRunWorkspaceMigration` calls are merged into one, owned
by the caller (`resolvedOwnerFlatApplication`) and the record-page
view/fields, page layout, and navigation command item are re-owned to
the caller and flagged `isSystemSideEffect: true`.
`buildNavigationFlatCommandMenuItem` is parameterized with
`applicationUniversalIdentifier` (no longer hardcoded to the standard
app).
- **Field-creation side effects** (`createManyFields`/`createOneField`
already run as a single caller-owned migration, so no re-ownership/merge
was needed): the auto-created viewField is flagged `isSystemSideEffect:
true`, and a new field now also propagates to the object's **INDEX/table
view** (added there as a **hidden** column, `isVisible: false`) in
addition to
the record-page FIELDS widget. The INDEX view is targeted directly by
`key = INDEX` (it is not a page-layout widget), de-duplicated per
`(viewId, fieldMetadataUniversalIdentifier)` to respect the per-view
unique index.
The unique-field index is likewise flagged the inverse relation field
stays unflagged (`isSystem: false`).
- **Protection predicate** extended: `isCallerOverridingEntity` and the
removal/reset split strategies now treat `isSystemSideEffect` rows as
protected even when caller-owned (route to
overrides / deactivate / reset) and the page-layout-reset guards allow
resetting flagged entities.
- **Standard compute maps** set the flag consistently so a re-sync
produces no diff (standard-object side effects stay `false`; per-object
nav command items and custom-object base fields are `true`).
- **Read-only GraphQL exposure** of `isSystemSideEffect` on the view /
view-field / page-layout / tab / widget / command-menu-item DTOs (not
exposed on create/update inputs). => Todo: needs to take this new flag
into account. This is fine for now because isSystem remains on
object/field.
- **Fast instance command** (`2-14`) adding the 8 columns (`NOT NULL
DEFAULT false`).
## Scope decisions
- **`pageLayout` is not an `OverridableEntity`**, its own row has
nothing user-overridable (all customization lives on tabs/widgets). It's
dual-purpose (`RECORD_PAGE` side-effect vs. user `DASHBOARD`), so it
gets `isSystemSideEffect` for protection only, no `overrides` jsonb.
- **`navigationMenuItem` is out of scope.**: Those are side effects only
for the metadata API and not marked as "system" (they can be
deleted/updated etc...)
- **`viewFieldGroup` is not a side effect**, it's only created via the
explicit view-field-group API, never by object/field creation, so it
gets no flag.
## Out of scope (follow-ups)
**PR 2** — slow per-workspace backfill (re-own + flag existing side
effects, recreate missing ones) and deterministic v5 identifiers for
base fields / pageLayout / tab.

## Summary
Follow-up to #20953. Migrates 23 of the 30 entities that were left in
`WORKSPACE_SCOPED_EXEMPTIONS` last time, so the lint rule's
workspaceId-enforcement default now covers most of the core/metadata
schema.
### Migrated (23 entities, 88 files, 22 commits)
| Family | Entities |
|---|---|
| Trivial caches | `NavigationMenuItem`, `Skill`, `DataSource`,
`Webhook`, `CommandMenuItem`, `IndexMetadata` |
| Views | `View`, `ViewField`, `ViewFieldGroup`, `ViewFilter`,
`ViewFilterGroup`, `ViewGroup`, `ViewSort` |
| Layouts | `PageLayout`, `PageLayoutTab`, `PageLayoutWidget` |
| Roles & permissions | `Role`, `RoleTarget`, `PermissionFlag`,
`ObjectPermission`, `FieldPermission`, `RowLevelPermissionPredicate`,
`RowLevelPermissionPredicateGroup` |
For each entity: swap `@InjectRepository(X)` →
`@InjectWorkspaceScopedRepository(X)` (and the field type →
`WorkspaceScopedRepository<X>`); rewrite every call site to pass
`workspaceId` as the first arg (stripped from `where`/criteria — the
wrapper throws if you include it now); register
`provideWorkspaceScopedRepository(X)` in every owning NestJS module;
update affected spec providers to
`getWorkspaceScopedRepositoryToken(X)`.
### Rule update
- `ApplicationRegistrationVariableEntity` was misclassified — moved to
`STRUCTURAL_EXEMPTIONS` (no `workspaceId` column; it's keyed on
`applicationRegistrationId` at the instance level).
- 22 of the 23 migrated entities removed from
`WORKSPACE_SCOPED_EXEMPTIONS` entirely (zero remaining raw
`@InjectRepository` sites).
- `RoleTargetEntity` also removed; one call site in
`user-workspace.service.ts` keeps a raw injection with an
`eslint-disable` + reason because `softRemove(...)` is not on the
wrapper API yet (the migration would require threading `workspaceId`
through `deleteUserWorkspace`'s three callers).
### Still exempted (7 entities, follow-up PRs)
| Entity | Why deferred |
|---|---|
| `ApplicationEntity` | ~50 sites with several cross-workspace lookups
by id (auth, OAuth, file-storage, cleanup) |
| `CalendarChannelEntity` / `MessageChannelEntity` | Use
`.increment(...)` (not on wrapper) and
`repository.manager.transaction(...)` — wrapper needs to grow
`.increment` + the transaction sites need `withManager` or dual-inject |
| `FieldMetadataEntity` / `ObjectMetadataEntity` | The metadata services
`extends TypeOrmQueryService<X>` and `super(rawRepo)` — requires
dual-inject or reworking the inheritance |
| `KeyValuePairEntity` | Allows `workspaceId: IsNull()` for
instance-level config; wrapper rejects null |
| `UpgradeMigrationEntity` | Same — instance-level + cross-workspace
ledger |
## Test plan
- [x] `npx nx typecheck twenty-server` — clean
- [x] `npx nx lint twenty-server` — clean (0/0)
- [x] All 10 affected unit specs pass (115 tests) — api-key, agent-role,
permissions, workspace-roles-permissions-cache, view-filter-group,
workflow-version-step-operations, two-factor-authentication (service +
resolver), user-workspace, file
- [ ] Server integration tests in CI
## Context
Moving isActive filtering to the frontend for page layout tabs and
widgets, hiding inactive entities from the UI while keeping them in
state for future reactivation
Next we will implement deactivated standard tab re-activation during tab
creation (cc @Devessier)

/>
- Replace soft-deletion (deletedAt) with isActive boolean for
overridable entities (tabs, widgets, viewFieldGroups, viewFields).
Standard entities are deactivated (isActive: false) when removed from
update payloads, while custom entities are hard-deleted.
- When a viewFieldGroup is deactivated/deleted, its viewFields are
reassigned to the next section by position (or null if none remain).
- Add isActive: true filters to viewFieldGroup and viewField API queries
so deactivated entities are excluded from responses.
Next:
- fields-widget-upsert.service.ts should be refactored a bit
- Add restore logic
# What this PR does
Overall naming `universal` versus `flat` is not always the most updated
and so on
Will make a big cleaning tour after I've finished the whole migration
Migrating all `view` and ( filter fields etc ) `field` `object` `index`
to the universal pattern on all `services`, `builder` and `runner`
levels
## Universal and flat optimistic tooling
`addUniversalFlatEntityToUniversalFlatEntityAndRelatedEntityMapsThroughMutationOrThrow`
and its delete counterpart maintain the consistency of
`UniversalFlatEntityMaps` when an entity is created or removed. Beyond
inserting/removing the entity from its own maps, they walk through
`ALL_UNIVERSAL_METADATA_RELATIONS` to update the **aggregator arrays**
on related parent entities — the add appends the new entity's
`universalIdentifier` to the parent's aggregator (e.g. a new viewField's
identifier gets appended to its parent view's
`viewFieldUniversalIdentifiers`), and the delete filters it out. This
keeps the maps in sync so that diff computations and relation lookups
remain accurate throughout the migration building process.
## ALL_UNIVERSAL_METADATA_RELATIONS
`ALL_UNIVERSAL_METADATA_RELATIONS` is the universal counterpart of
`ALL_METADATA_RELATIONS`. It maps each metadata entity to its
many-to-one and one-to-many relations using universal foreign keys
(`*UniversalIdentifier`) instead of database IDs (`*Id`). This allows
migration actions to reference related entities in a workspace-agnostic
way. Relations that are workspace-specific (e.g. `workspace`,
`dataSource`, `userWorkspace`) are set to `null` and skipped during
resolution.
## `workspaceMigrationCreateIdEnrichment`
Reserved to API metadata ( will be able to validate at app installation
lvl )
- Workspace migration `create` actions now carry an optional `id` (and
`fieldIdByUniversalIdentifier` for object/field actions) so that
caller-provided IDs flow through the entire build-validate-run pipeline.
- New `enrichCreateWorkspaceMigrationActionsWithIds` utility resolves
`universalIdentifier → id` mappings after the builder runs and injects
them into the migration actions before the runner persists entities.
- Runner action handlers use the provided IDs instead of generating new
UUIDs, enabling deterministic entity creation for synchronization
workflows.
## `resolveUniversalUpdateRelationIdentifiersToIds`
`resolveUniversalUpdateRelationIdentifiersToIds` converts universal
identifiers (workspace-agnostic, stable keys) in a migration update
payload into concrete database UUIDs, so the update can be applied to a
specific workspace.
It iterates over the many-to-one relations defined in
`ALL_UNIVERSAL_METADATA_RELATIONS` for the given entity type, replaces
each `*UniversalIdentifier` property with its corresponding `*Id` by
looking up the target entity in `allFlatEntityMaps`, and throws if a
non-null identifier can't be resolved.
Used by all `update` action handlers in
`transpileUniversalActionToFlatAction`, avoiding duplicated resolution
logic across handlers.
## What this PR does not
- Migrating twenty-standard declaration to universal
- Migrating all the inputs transpilers to universal
- Migrating all metadata to be fully universal ( we still need to
de-scope the type of all of them and refactor their validator very close
)

# Introduction
Requiring the spreaded `__universal` record that aggregates all the
universal identifier ( relations fk and aggregators ) of an entity to
its root
It's blockin for https://github.com/twentyhq/twenty/pull/17687 to be
finalized because if we don't we would have to migrated all related
entities at once in order for them to always have the universal
properties
## `resolveEntityRelationUniversalIdentifiers`
Introduced `resolveEntityRelationUniversalIdentifiers` a centralized
utility that resolves foreign key IDs to universal identifiers using
ALL_METADATA_RELATIONS metadata. It provides strict typing for both
input (foreign keys) and output (universal identifiers), with
nullability dynamically inferred from entity relation types.
Strictly and dynamically typed for both output and input
To do so added a new type and const/runtime grain to
ALL_METADATA_RELATIONS `isNullable`to many-to-one entries, derived from
the entity relation property types. And fixed incorrectly typed typeorm
entities
### Usage
```ts
const {
availabilityObjectMetadataUniversalIdentifier,
frontComponentUniversalIdentifier,
} = resolveEntityRelationUniversalIdentifiers({
metadataName: 'commandMenuItem',
foreignKeyValues: {
availabilityObjectMetadataId:
createCommandMenuItemInput.availabilityObjectMetadataId,
frontComponentId: createCommandMenuItemInput.frontComponentId,
},
flatEntityMaps: { flatObjectMetadataMaps, flatFrontComponentMaps },
});
```
# 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 )
# Introduction
In this PR we're refactoring the `FlatEntity` type to become a superset
of the `UniversalFlatEntity`.
Right now we're storing all the extra properties in `__universal`
property, at some point it might just be sibling to other entity and we
might rely on the `propertiesToCompare` constants and TypeScript
allowing passing a superset type into a smaller subset type
## FromTo utils
The entity to flat entity method now computes the universal information,
standardized a typing and pattern to do
## Example

# Introduction
Creating a `UniversalFlatEntityFrom` that strips out all the relation
and foreignKey properties in order to replace them with
`UniversalIdentifier` suffix
This data type will be major for the workspace migration workspace
agnostic refactor
## Chore
- renamed `flat-entity.type` to `flat-entity-from.type.ts` ( more
accurate to exported module )
- create static test type over the field metadata entity on quite
complex utils as both coverage and documentation
## Example
Here's an example of a `UniversalFlatEntityFrom<FieldMetadataEntity>`
```ts
const universalFlatFieldMetadata: UniversalFlatFieldMetadata<FieldMetadataType.RELATION> = {
// Base properties (from FieldMetadataEntity, excluding relations and applicationId)
universalIdentifier: '550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440001',
applicationUniversalIdentifier: '5800681c-088e-4e2b-9fc3-bcf6e8ec2051',
type: FieldMetadataType.RELATION,
name: 'firstName',
label: 'First Name',
defaultValue: null,
description: 'The first name of the person',
icon: 'IconUser',
standardOverrides: null,
options: null,
settings: {
relationType: RelationType.ONE_TO_MANY,
},
isCustom: false,
isActive: true,

// ManyToOne relation universal identifiers (from FieldMetadataEntity relations)
relationTargetFieldMetadataUniversalIdentifier:

// Join column universal identifiers (foreignKey -> universalIdentifier)
objectMetadataUniversalIdentifier: '550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440010',
// OneToMany relation universal identifiers (array of related entity identifiers)
viewFieldUniversalIdentifiers: [

```
## Settings
Will hop on the settings typing next. Might not be dynamic but
declarative though
# Introduction
following https://github.com/twentyhq/twenty/pull/17279
As we've finally identified all the syncable metadata entities, which
means they're expected to have non nullable applicationId and
universalIdentifier at pg_level we can remove previous retro comp
universalIdentifier fallbacking and update the dto too
~~This needs IdentifyRemainingEntitiesMetadataCommand and
MakeRemainingEntitiesUniversalIdentifierAndApplicationIdNotNullableMigrationCommand
to be run~~
```ts
[Nest] 197 - 01/21/2026, 3:08:35 PM LOG [MakeRemainingEntitiesUniversalIdentifierAndApplicationIdNotNullableMigrationCommand] Successfully run MakeRemainingEntitiesUniversalIdentifierAndApplicationIdNotNullableMigrationCommand
```
This PR introduces a few changes:
- Add three actions: see deleted dashboards, destroy dashboard and
restore dashboard
- Remove the soft delete and restore on all the page layout entities
- Cascade the destruction of a dashboard to a page layout

# 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 )
# 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';

# Introduction
Creating dedicated folders and module for both `page-layout-tab` and
`page-layout-widget`
The addition diff with deletion is due to the module being added
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
