Charles Bochet 0a99f784eb fix(front): dedupe morph relation fields in view field pickers (#21580)
## Issue

Reported in quality-feedbacks: **"Issues with morph relation view
field"** — a morph relation column added to a view **disappears after
refresh** (and can be added several times).

## Root cause — the SSE metadata sync

A morph relation is stored as **one `fieldMetadata` row per target
object**, all sharing a `morphId`. Collapsing those rows into the single
field that represents the relation is a **read-time projection** in the
server's `objects.fieldsList` resolver — it is *not* a storage
invariant, and the rows are never merged.

The frontend metadata store is kept in sync with the raw rows **one row
at a time over SSE** (`MetadataStoreSSEEffect`): every metadata change
broadcasts a single created/updated record that's pushed straight into
the store. Creating a morph relation creates N rows (one per target), so
**N `create` events arrive and N raw sub-fields land in the store —
bypassing the `fieldsList` projection entirely.**

The view-field pickers read straight from that store, so they saw the
morph relation **once per target**. Each could be added as a column
referencing a different sub-field id; after a refresh the view reloads
from the projected (deduped) data, the non-survivor columns no longer
resolve, and they disappear.

## Fix & architecture note

Because the store deliberately mirrors raw rows (that's what the SSE
sync maintains), the fix applies the **same read-time projection on the
client** — deduping morph rows by `morphId` in
`useActiveFieldMetadataItems` — rather than filtering rows at each
insert path (SSE, optimistic create, …). This matches how the backend
already models morph fields and is robust regardless of which path
delivered the rows.

The survivor-selection rule (which sub-field id represents the relation)
now lives in `twenty-shared` (`pickMorphGroupSurvivor`) so client and
server can't drift.

Installation

Cloud

The fastest way to get started. Sign up at twenty.com and spin up a workspace in under a minute, with no infrastructure to manage and always up to date.

Build an app

Scaffold a new app with the Twenty CLI:

npx create-twenty-app my-app

Define objects, fields, and views as code:

import { defineObject, FieldType } from 'twenty-sdk/define';

export default defineObject({
  nameSingular: 'deal',
  namePlural: 'deals',
  labelSingular: 'Deal',
  labelPlural: 'Deals',
  fields: [
    { name: 'name', label: 'Name', type: FieldType.TEXT },
    { name: 'amount', label: 'Amount', type: FieldType.CURRENCY },
    { name: 'closeDate', label: 'Close Date', type: FieldType.DATE_TIME },
  ],
});

Then ship it to your workspace:

npx twenty app:publish --private

See the app development guide for objects, views, agents, and logic functions.

Self-hosting

Run Twenty on your own infrastructure with Docker Compose, or contribute locally via the local setup guide.
