# Introduction
In this PR we're migrating both the `field` and `object` metadata to be
using the new `FlatEntityFromV2` that requires all the
`UniversalFlatEntityExtraProperties` to be spread at the flat entity
root.
This means that we have to update all of their flat declaration
This type swap allows to isole a specific entity migration into his own
type scope and avoid to have everything handled at once
```ts
/**
* Currently under migration but aims to replace FlatEntity afterwards
*/
export type FlatEntityFromV2<
TEntity,
TMetadataName extends AllMetadataName | undefined = undefined,
TInnerFlatEntity extends { __universal?: unknown } = FlatEntityFrom<
TEntity,
TMetadataName
>,
> = Omit<TInnerFlatEntity, '__universal'> & TInnerFlatEntity['__universal'];
```
## Impact
Both object and field:
- Create input transpilation utils
- from entity to flat tools
- mocks
## Note
Removed from the universal extra properties the jsonb properties that do
not contain a serialized
## Next
Next step is to incrementally make the builder and runner expect
`UniversalFlatEntity` for both of these metadata
This way we will be able to fully migrate an entity e2e typesafely
## 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.
## Overview
This PR implements **generic many-to-many relation support** through
junction tables (also known as associative entities or join tables).
This replaces the need for hardcoded taskTarget/noteTarget logic and
provides a flexible foundation for modeling complex entity
relationships.
## Architecture
### Data Model
Many-to-many relationships are implemented using a **junction object
pattern**:
```
┌─────────┐ ┌──────────────────┐ ┌─────────┐
│ Pet │──────>│ PetRocket │<──────│ Rocket │
│ │ 1:N │ (junction) │ N:1 │ │
│ rockets ├───────┤ pet : Pet ├───────┤ │
└─────────┘ │ rocket : Rocket │ └─────────┘
└──────────────────┘
```
The junction object (PetRocket) has:
- A `MANY_TO_ONE` relation to **Pet** (the source)
- A `MANY_TO_ONE` relation to **Rocket** (the target)
The source object (Pet) has a `ONE_TO_MANY` relation pointing to the
junction, with **field settings** that specify which target field to
follow.
### Field Settings Schema
Junction configuration is stored in `FieldMetadataRelationSettings`:
```typescript
{
relationType: "ONE_TO_MANY",
// Points to the target field on the junction object
junctionTargetFieldId?: string; // For regular relations
junctionTargetMorphId?: string; // For polymorphic relations
}
```
**Two configuration modes:**
1. **`junctionTargetFieldId`** - References a specific `RELATION` field
on the junction
2. **`junctionTargetMorphId`** - References a `morphId` group for
polymorphic targets (e.g., link to Person OR Company)
### GraphQL Query Generation
When a junction relation is detected, the GraphQL fields are generated
to fetch the nested target:
```graphql
query GetPetWithRockets {
pet(id: "...") {
rockets { # ONE_TO_MANY to junction
id
rocket { # Target field on junction
id
name
__typename
}
}
}
}
```
For polymorphic junction targets:
```graphql
caretakerPerson { id, name }
caretakerCompany { id, name }
```
## Frontend Architecture
### Display Flow
1. **Detection**: `hasJunctionConfig()` checks if field has junction
settings
2. **Config Resolution**: `getJunctionConfig()` resolves junction object
metadata and target fields
3. **Record Extraction**: `extractTargetRecordsFromJunction()` extracts
target records from junction records
4. **Rendering**: Target records displayed as chips (not junction
records)
### Edit Flow
1. **Picker Opening**: Initializes the multi-record picker with:
- Searchable object types (derived from junction target fields)
- Pre-selected items (extracted from existing junction records)
2. **Selection Handling**: Manages create/delete of junction records:
- **Select**: Creates new junction record with source + target IDs
- **Deselect**: Finds and deletes the junction record
- **Optimistic Updates**: Manually updates Recoil store before API call
### Key Trade-offs
| Decision | Trade-off |
|----------|-----------|
| Junction records managed manually | More control over optimistic
updates, but requires manual cache management |
| Settings stored per-field | Flexible (same junction can power
different views), but requires UI to configure |
| Polymorphic via morphId groups | Supports N target types, but adds
query complexity |
| Feature flag gated | Safe rollout, but requires flag management |
## Backend Changes
- **Validation**: Junction target field must exist and be a valid
`MANY_TO_ONE` relation
- **Settings**: Extended `FieldMetadataRelationSettings` type with
junction fields
- **Dev Seeder**: Added sample junction objects (PetRocket,
EmploymentHistory, PetCareAgreement) for testing
## How to Test
1. Enable the `IS_JUNCTION_RELATIONS_ENABLED` feature flag
2. Create objects with junction pattern (Pet → PetRocket → Rocket)
3. Configure the junction target in field settings (advanced mode)
4. Verify:
- Display shows target objects (Rockets), not junction records
(PetRockets)
- Picker allows selecting/deselecting targets
- Changes persist correctly

# 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 )
# 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.
# Introduction
Refactored the api `validateBuildAndRunWorkspaceMigration` to be require
less configuration but to infer required args dynamically depending on
provided metadata maps to compare
## `inferDeletionFromMissingEntities`
Is not dynamically computed avoiding any miss configuration issue and
any missleading devxp
## Maps computation
Making only one call to redis to build both dependency and to be
compared entity maps. It does not matter to avoid passing a about to
compared flat entity maps to could also be a depedency, it's handled
directly in the builder setup optimistic cache logic
Please note that the flat maps used for the service input transpilation
might differ from the one that we will dynamically compute and inject in
the builder. Leading to do 2 redis calls but also race condition prone
validation error
We prefer that this occurs at the builder rather than at the runner
level as the pg instance is not cache and reflect the real state of a
given workspace
In a nutshell, there's a possible race condition between cache
invalidation and computation in both service input transpilers and
builder but we're totally ok with that
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)
## Context
We've recently introduced a new workspace cache service which now acts
as a cache access and local storage for all workspace related data,
deprecating the individual specific services.
- Better performance through multiple caching/fetching strategies
- Consistent data access patterns across the codebase
- Reduced redis queries through MGET/MSET/PIPELINE with multiple cache
keys
# Introduction
Remove the v2 feature flag for view-field field-metadata and
object-metadata metadata entities
## Some details
- Disabled nestjs-query for object metadata creation and explicitly
calling it
- removed all v1 integration tests files
## Remarks
Not remove v2 referencing in both filenaming right now will handle that
globally later
## Breaking change
Due to object metadata resolver createOne standardization had to rename
the input from `CreateObjectInput` to `CreateOneObjectInput`
# Introduction
This PR introduces a huge type refactor that will leverage dynamic intra
entity optimistic flat maps update in the future and also a more
granular cache invalidation enhancing performances

## What's done
### Comparators centralization
Comparator is now done through global configuration as const for each
metadata names
Thanks to
Note:
Definition of standard is evolving, standard is now scoped to an app.
Meaning that a manifest should be able to update its own standards
objects but on other app standards ones ? Each synchronizable entities
will have a standardOverrides ?
## Typing refactor
### `AllFlatEntityTypesByMetadataName`
**Single source of truth for the complete type ecosystem**, mapping each
metadata name to its entity types, flat entities, and migration actions:
```typescript
export type AllFlatEntityTypesByMetadataName = {
fieldMetadata: {
actions: { created: CreateFieldAction; updated: UpdateFieldAction; deleted: DeleteFieldAction; };
flatEntity: FlatFieldMetadata;
entity: FieldMetadataEntity;
};
objectMetadata: { /* ... */ };
// ... all 10 metadata types
};
```
### `ALL_METADATA_NAME_MANY_TO_ONE_RELATIONS`
**Explicitly declares database relationships** between entities with
compile-time validation:
```typescript
export const ALL_METADATA_NAME_MANY_TO_ONE_RELATIONS = {
viewField: {
view: 'viewId',
fieldMetadata: 'fieldMetadataId',
},
cronTrigger: {
serverlessFunction: 'serverlessFunctionId',
},
// ... all relations
} as const satisfies MetadataNameAndRelations;
```
### `ALL_FLAT_ENTITY_CONFIGURATION`
**Centralizes comparison and serialization logic** for each metadata
type:
```typescript
export const ALL_FLAT_ENTITY_CONFIGURATION = {
fieldMetadata: {
propertiesToCompare: ['name', 'type', 'label', 'defaultValue', /* ... */],
propertiesToStringify: ['options', 'settings', 'defaultValue'],
},
objectMetadata: {
propertiesToCompare: ['nameSingular', 'namePlural', 'isActive', /* ... */],
propertiesToStringify: [],
},
// ... all metadata types
} as const satisfies AllFlatEntityConfiguration;
```
## Combined Impact
These three configurations work together to create a **strongly-typed,
centrally-managed metadata system**:
1. **`AllFlatEntityTypesByMetadataName`** defines *what exists*
2. **`ALL_METADATA_NAME_MANY_TO_ONE_RELATIONS`** defines *how they
relate*
3. **`ALL_FLAT_ENTITY_CONFIGURATION`** defines *how to compare and
serialize them*
**Result:** Builders and validators become thin wrappers around
type-safe, configuration-driven logic instead of containing scattered,
error-prone manual implementations.
## What's next
### StandardOverrides standardization
Every metadata entity can be a standard one for a workspace if it's an
installed app, which means it might not expose the whole entity api to
be editable through an import dynamically
The standard overrides logic should not be applied to Fields and Objects
but to every entities
At the moment we have a logic of `EDITABLE_PROPERTIES` through the api,
and also `STANDARD_OVERRIDEDABLE_PROPERTIES`
This should be configuration centered like `propertiesToCompare` and
`propertiesToStringify`.
Scoping this PR to two last for the moment. As update dispatch to
standardOverrides could be considered as a side effect prefer waiting to
start the side effect refactor
### Granular Optimistic deprecation
With this new grain at runtime we will be able to add a flat entity and
dispatch its addition to related flat maps, so we don't have to describe
an optimistic method for each flat entity operations
See `addFlatEntityToFlatEntityAndRelatedEntityMapsOrThrow`
Note: Still in wip and included in this PR but about to create a new one
to integrate these utils and remove existing methods
### ValidateBuildAndRun dynamic args typed defintion
We should restrain the devxp to send expected flat maps entity as at
least from to or dependency as we now have the grain both a type lvl and
runtime to do so
It should not be possible in the devxp to forgot adding the views to the
v2 builder when passing the view field anymore ( that would lead to
permanent validation error in view field integrity checks )
## Conclusion
Thanks for reading and reviewing !
Any suggestions are more than welcomed ! ( same as for questions too ! )
When starting the app on a fresh database reset the cache would be
filled with empty flat field metadata maps
Because the reset command hack through the repository directly in order
to create views and stuff
implemented an iso flush as the one existing initially
added it to a workspace deletion tambien
```
{
byId: {],
universalIdById: {}
}
```
# 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 )

As you can see cache invalidation is way to long, we could replace the
cache by the optimistic in the end
Workspace cleaning jobs slow down the db each hours when running. We
suspect the object metadata deleting query with all cascade/depending
entities (field, index, ..) to be the cause.
Fixes https://github.com/twentyhq/twenty/issues/14442
Issues were
1. Table headers always used label metadata identifier (or record text)
as first column, while table body followed viewFields positions
2. Label metadata identifier should always be visible and in first
position for the table views to work as expected, while when updating
the label metadata identifier for an object, no changes were brought to
the viewFields
To fix that
1. In the BE:
- a new logic is implemented to i) update label identifier's viewFields
position and visibility when an object's label identifier is updated to
a new field; ii) add validation on the update of a viewField's position
and visibility to make sure the label identifier's viewField always has
the lowest position + is visible
- a command was added to check all existing views and viewfields
3. In the FE: at first I tried to replicate the logic of the headers
(based on the label identifier rather than the positions) on the body,
but it was too complex and error-prone as in multiple places we are
based on the positions. It also feels more right to have only one source
of truth which is the viewField position. @lucasbordeau if that does not
suit you, we can throw an error if the field with the lowest position is
not the label metadata identifier, as you said the table view will be
very buggy / wont work if the label identifier is not in the first
position. but now it should never be the case thanks to the validation
implemented in the BE
This should be migrated to viewFieldService V2 when relevant @Weiko
@prastoin
Fixes https://github.com/twentyhq/twenty/issues/13577.
When naming or renaming an object, we are already checking that the name
was available compared to other existing objects.
But we also need to check that the relation fields that will be created
or updated are available as well: we create relation fields on
Attachment, Note, Favorite, Task and TimelineActivites, that bear the
name of the object. Thus, it is not possible to create an object that
has the same name as one of the fields on Attachment, Note etc: name,
createdAt, ... are not valid names.
## 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.
# Introduction
- Implementing the delete one for the new object metadata service v2.
- Handling relation fields and fields in the first place to finally
remove the object
- puting back updatedAt and createdAt in flat metadatas
- duplicate criteria addition for flat object
- removing datasource id from object metadata dto
- Enable update to unique for composite field with defaultValue
different from default defaultValue on subfield not included in unique
constraint
- Enable update to unique for standard field + Disable update to
non-unique for standard index
- Fix typo
Fixes https://github.com/twentyhq/core-team-issues/issues/1360
# Introduction
Introducing v2 object metadata service create one handler v2, not
overkilling the flatObjectMetadata validation for the moment that will
require sequential validation for the import in order to handle
relations and morph relations
# Introduction
The cache is not accurately typed regarding the `fieldMetadataMaps` they
do not contain relations
In this way we:
- Created dedicated transpilation tools for cache manipulation
- Avoided recursivity in transpilation tools
- Fix and finalized the createMany fields metadata service v2
- Refactor the validator to handle validation :)
## What's next:
- Implem integration tests to make things run 🙃
- migrate existing settings valdiation
- Finish the create object metadata service
- Handle update input transpilation and validation
# Introduction
Following https://github.com/twentyhq/twenty/pull/13420
What has been done:
- `CreateFieldInput` transpilation to `FlatFieldMetadata`
- `FlatFieldMetadata` validator service
- A lof of transpilation utils from `input` to `flatObject` or
`flatField`
- Created dedicated v2 api metadata services
- Introducing `inferDeletionFromMissingObjectFieldIndex` in the builder,
to avoid diffing every object and field of the current workspace we
allow only generating create/update migration operations, usefull when
passing by the api metadata
## We still need to in another PR:
- Implement a strong unit test coverage and critical functions and
services
- Finalize flat field metadata validation exception for `options`
`defaultValue` `settings` and `relations`
- Finalize `flatObjectMetadata` validation and v2 service refactor
- Plug the new service when feature flag is enabled
# Introduction
In this PR we create basic transpilation methods and utils to handle
input to flat, entity to flat, object maps to flat. In order to
transpile everything into a common validation that will be implemented
in another PR
## FieldMetadataEntity typing
Added `never | null` to fields that should never be in order to ease
general abstracted method to pass null, as anw it's what is in the
database
## Todo
- ~~Create a feature flag~~
- Integration test for object creation through metadata api + pg col
introspection and snapshoting
# Why
If we have a Morph Relation, like :
Opportunity <-> Company & People
Let's say it's a MANY_TO_ONE on Opportunity side
Then we have two joinColumnNames looking like
- ownerPersonId
- ownerCompanyId
Let's say someone renames the obejct Person (assume we can even though
standard obejcts cannot be renames per say at the moment in the API)
We need to update the joinColumnName and create the associated
migrations
# Introduction
Created the runner metadata for the field and object
We should keep in mind that any runner handler will only iterate over an
atomic instance of entity ( object field index etc )
Never triggerring any side effect or whats over
In this way we will need to implement a deferred transaction, as for
when we create a relation we will inject to the first created field of
both the `relationTargetFieldMetadataId` deterministically computed
before its own creation
This would result in pg constraint brokage if not deferred
## Updates
- We decided gather create_fields under the create_object as they will
be building within the same sql query. This will ease both generation
and computation and avoid disassembling to reassemble afterwards
- Refactored FlatFieldMetadata to handle relation typing with flat
occurences
```ts
runCreateFieldSchemaMigration = async ({
action,
queryRunner,
}: WorkspaceMigrationActionRunnerArgs<CreateFieldAction>) => {
if (isFlatFieldMetadataEntityOfType(action.flatFieldMetadata, FieldMetadataType.RELATION)) {
action.flatFieldMetadata.flatRelationTargetObjectMetadata
}else {
action.flatFieldMetadata.flatRelationTargetObjectMetadata // tsc-error never
}
return;
};
```
## TODO
- ~~Discuss action signature with @Weiko in order to anticipate `schema`
runner needed grain~~
- ~~Refactor the object actions to contain picked `flatObjectMetadata`~~
- Implem index service
# Introduction
From the moment replaced the FieldMetadataInterface definition to:
```ts
import { FieldMetadataType } from 'twenty-shared/types';
import { FieldMetadataEntity } from 'src/engine/metadata-modules/field-metadata/field-metadata.entity';
export type FieldMetadataInterface<
T extends FieldMetadataType = FieldMetadataType,
> = FieldMetadataEntity<T>;
```
After this PR merge will create a new one removing the type and
replacing it to `FieldMetadataEntity`.
Did not renamed it here to avoid conflicts on naming + type issues fixs
within the same PR
## Field metadata entity RELATION or MORPH
Relations fields cannot be null for those field metadata entity instance
anymore, but are never for the others see
`packages/twenty-server/src/engine/metadata-modules/field-metadata/types/field-metadata-entity-test.type.ts`
( introduced TypeScript tests )
## Concerns
- TS_VECTOR is the most at risk with the `generatedType` and
`asExpression` removal from interface
## What's next
- `FielMetadataInterface` removal and rename ( see introduction )
- Depcrecating `ObjectMetadataInterface`
- Refactor `FieldMetadataEntity` optional fiels to be nullable only
- TO DIG `never` occurences on settings, defaultValue etc
- Some interfaces will be replaced by the `FlatFieldMetadata` when
deprecating the current sync and comparators tools
Modifying the data-model can sometimes fail in the middle of your
operation, due to the way we handle both metadata update and schema
migration separately, a field can be created while the associated column
creation failed (same for object/table and such). This is also an issue
because WorkspaceMigrations are then stored as FAILED can never really
recovered by themselves so the schema is broken and we can't update the
models anymore.
This PR adds a executeMigrationFromPendingMigrationsWithinTransaction
method where we can (and must) pass a queryRunner executing a
transaction, which should come from the metadata services so that if
anything during metadata update OR schema update fails, it rolls back
everything (this also mean a workspaceMigration should never stay in a
failed state now).
This also fixes some issues with migration not running in the correct
order due to having the same timestamp and having to do some weird logic
to fix that.
This is a first step and fix before working on a much more reliable
solution in the upcoming weeks where we will refactor the way we
interact with the data model.

In this PR:
## Improve recompute metadata cache performance. We are aiming for
~100ms
Deleting relationMetadata table and FKs pointing on it
Fetching indexMetadata and indexFieldMetadata in a separate query as
typeorm is suboptimizing
## Remove caching lock
As recomputing the metadata cache is lighter, we try to stop preventing
multiple concurrent computations. This also simplifies interfaces
## Introduce self recovery mecanisms to recompute cache automatically if
corrupted
Aka getFreshObjectMetadataMaps
## custom object resolver performance improvement: 1sec to 200ms
Double check queries and indexes used while creating a custom object
Remove the queries to db to use the cached objectMetadataMap
## reduce objectMetadataMaps to 500kb
<img width="222" alt="image"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/2370dc80-49b6-4b63-8d5e-30c5ebdaa062"
/>
We used to stored 3 fieldMetadataMaps (byId, byName, byJoinColumnName).
While this is great for devXP, this is not great for performances.
Using the same mecanisme as for objectMetadataMap: we only keep byIdMap
and introduce two otherMaps to idByName, idByJoinColumnName to make the
bridge
## Add dataloader on IndexMetadata (aka indexMetadataList in the API)
## Improve field resolver performances too
## Deprecate ClientConfig
# 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

This is a first PR to remove old relation logic
Next steps:
- remove relationMetadata from cache
- remove relationMetadata table content and structure
- refactor relationDefinition to leverage field.settings instead
leave intact the `input` argument to avoid side effects on the parent
caller

Fixes#10793
This PR is a work in progress.
**Still left to fix:**
- [x] When disabling synchronization of labels / api names, the edited
labels should be set to the English version. Currently the client just
send the localized versions together with the `isLabelSyncedWithName`
change. Could be an easy fix.
- [ ] Sometimes flipping the switch don't trigger the update function,
may be a regression as it seems to affect the custom objects too.
- [ ] There is a frontend problem where the labels inputs don't reflect
the changes made. When enabling back synchronisation after editing
labels, they are correctly back to their base values (backend,
navigation breadcrumb, etc) but the label inputs still have the old
values (switching pages will put them back to normal). I suspect this
could be linked to the above problem.
- [ ] API names are still displayed for standard objects per (kept them
for debugging, trivial fix)
- [ ] `SettingsDataModelObjectAboutForm` have a `disableEdition`
parameter which is now used only for a few fields, not sure if it's
worth keeping because it's a bit misleading since it doesn't "disable"
much?
- [ ] I don't know what these do, but I have seen "Remote" object types.
Not sure if they work with my patch or not (I don't know how to test
them)
- [ ] Make it work with metadata synchronisation
**What should work:**
- Disabling synchronization of standard objects should work, label
inputs should no longer be disabled
- Modifying labels should work
- Enabling back synchronization should reset back the labels to the base
value and disable the label inputs again (minus the mentioned display
bug)
- The synchronisation switch should still work as expected for custom
objects
- Creating custom objects should still work (it uses the same form)
