1/ Migration, applicationId and universalIdentifier are required on
entity ( save point migration + upgrade command fallback pattern )
2/ Backfill using previous standard ids
# Introduction
fixes https://github.com/twentyhq/twenty/issues/16905
Do not merge until `IS_WORKSPACE_CREATION_V2_ENABLED` has been activated
by default, and so sync metadata has been deprecated by doing so. As the
sync metadata will attempt to insert `null` `applicationId` and
`universalIdentifier` values while creating a workspace
In this PR we're introducing a new `SyncableEntityRequired` which
enforces the non nullable `applicationId` and `universalIdentifier` on
extending entity
In this PR we also migrate the field metadata entity to extend the
required
## Identification upgrade command
This command will search for workspace field metadata entities that
aren't associated to an applicationId, dispatch them to either the
workspace-custom `applicationId` or the twenty-standard `applicationId`.
For the standard entities it will also set their universal identifier
based on the `STANDARD_OBJECTS` const hashmap
## Typeorm migration
As the non nullable `applicationId` and `universalIdentifier`migration
won't pass in the first we've been using the save point and upgrade
command migration fallback pattern
## Tests
Tested the command on a prod extract locally
Both `twenty-eng` and `twenty-for-twenty` have unexpected standard
objects
Please note that we will deprecate the `isCustom` and `standardId` col
later in the future

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.

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`.
Closes [89](https://github.com/twentyhq/core-team-issues/issues/89)
## Problem
When users attempt to create or update a record with a duplicate value
for a unique field (e.g., duplicate email or domain name), they receive
a generic error message: "This record already exists. Please check your
data and try again." This provides no actionable way to locate and view
the existing conflicting record, forcing users to manually search for
it.
## Solution
This PR enhances duplicate key constraint error handling to
automatically detect the conflicting record and display a "View existing
record" link in the error notification. When clicked, users are
navigated directly to the existing record's detail page.
## Backend Changes
### 1. PostgreSQL Error Parsing
(`parse-postgres-constraint-error.util.ts`)
- Extracts structured information from PostgreSQL `QueryFailedError`
messages.
### 2. Conflicting Record Lookup (`find-conflicting-record.util.ts`)
- Queries the database to find the existing record with the conflicting
value
### 3. Error Handling Orchestration
(`handle-duplicate-key-error.util.ts`)
- Parses PostgreSQL error to extract column name and conflicting value
- Attempts to find the conflicting record
- Enriches `TwentyORMException` with `conflictingRecordId` and
`conflictingObjectNameSingular` if found
### 4. Exception Computation Updates (`compute-twenty-orm-exception.ts`)
- Made function `async` and added optional `entityManager` and
`internalContext` parameters
- Needed to support async database queries for conflicting record lookup
### 5. GraphQL Error Handler
(`twenty-orm-graphql-api-exception-handler.util.ts`)
- **Changes**: Enhanced `DUPLICATE_ENTRY_DETECTED` case to include
`conflictingRecordId` and `conflictingObjectNameSingular` in GraphQL
error extensions
## Frontend Changes
### 1. Error Extraction Utility
(`get-conflicting-record-from-apollo-error.util.ts`)
- Accesses GraphQL error extensions
- Validates that both `conflictingRecordId` and
`conflictingObjectNameSingular` exist and are strings
- Returns `null` if validation fails
### 2. SnackBar Enhancement (`useSnackBar.ts`)
- Extracts conflicting record info from Apollo error
- Constructs URL using `getAppPath` utility
- Adds link object to snackbar options with text "View existing record"

# 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
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
Should be merged once https://github.com/twentyhq/twenty/pull/16206 has
been released + command run to prod
In this PR
- Remove usage of viewGroup.fieldMetadataId, both in BE and FE states.
- But we still need to properly populate it until we fully remove
viewGroup.fieldMetadataId from db and ORM entity (upcoming 3rd PR out of
3). fieldMetadataId was removed from CoreViewGroup type and
CreateViewGroupInput and is determined BE-side based on the associated
view's mainGroupByFieldMetadataId. **I expect this means a downtime on
viewGroup creation, until both FE and BE are deployed and cache is
flushed.** This seems acceptable to me as it only regards viewGroup
creation.
- this information is replaced by view.mainGroupByFieldMetadataID
- Handle view group creation, update and deletion in the BE as a
side-effect of a view creation, update or deletion. Optimistic effects
are still used
- Add validation at view creation or update regarding
mainGroupByFieldMetadata
Left to do in 3rd PR
- Remove viewGroup.fieldMetadataId from db and ORM entity
- Restore feature allowing to update an existing grouped view's group by
field (already OK on BE side but need to rebuild FE optimistic)
In this PR (1/3)
- introduce view.mainGroupByFieldMetadataId as the new reference
determining which fieldMetadataId is used in a grouped view, in order to
deprecate viewGroup.fieldMetadataId which creates inconsistencies.
view.mainGroupByFieldMetadataId is now filled at every view creation,
though not in use yet.
- Introduce a command to backfill view.mainGroupByFieldMetadataId for
existing views + delete all viewGroup.fieldMetadataId with a
fieldMetadataId that is not view.mainGroupByFieldMetadataId. (It should
concern 37 active workspaces)
- Temporarily disable the option to change a grouped view's
fieldMetadataId as for now it creates inconsistencies. This feature can
be reintroduced when we have done the full migration.
In a next PR
- (2/3) use view.mainGroupByFieldMetadataId instead of
viewGroup.fieldMetadataId. In FE we may keep viewGroup.fieldMetadataId
as a state (TBD). View groups will now be created / deleted as a side
effect of view's mainGroupByFieldMetadataId update.
- (3/3) remove viewGroup.fieldMetadataId

## 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

- [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
While investigating the issue a customer was facing, I discovered that
before records and after records could be in different order, making the
orm event and timeline activity engine mix records
## 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)
Implements permission intersection (AND logic) to prevent permission
escalation when agents act on behalf of users.
### Changes:
- **Permission Intersection**: Operations requiring both user AND agent
permissions
- **RoleContext Type**: Unified type supporting single `roleId` or
multiple `roleIds` for intersection
- **CRUD Services**: Updated to accept `roleContext` for granular
permission control
- **Agent Integration**: Chat agents now use user + agent role
intersection for all operations
- **ORM Layer**: Enhanced `getRepository` to support multi-role
permission checks

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

If viewId is defined in a groupBy query, we want to apply all filters of
the view to the query.
This required to move a lot of code from twenty-front to twenty-shared
to convert the filters as stored in the db into graphql filters,
applying the right combinations between filters etc., which was
previously only done in the FE.
This PR does not handle any field filters, it will be done in a later pr
## 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.
