## Why
Building a dashboard through AI chat used to cost ~9 sequential LLM
round-trips
(~160K input tokens for a single request): the agent had to resolve
object/field UUIDs and assemble views through many granular tool calls,
each
step replaying the full cached context.
## What changed
### 1. Reference objects & fields by name (fewer round-trips)
The agent no longer needs to resolve UUIDs before acting.
- `get_object_metadata`: filter by `objectName` (singular/plural) and a
new
`includeFields` flag returning each object's fields (`{id, name, type,
label}`)
inline — object + field IDs in one call.
- `get_field_metadata`: accepts `objectName` as an alternative to
`objectMetadataId`.
- All three dashboard write tools (`create_complete_dashboard`,
`add_dashboard_widget`, `update_dashboard_widget`): accept `objectName`
and
`*FieldName` variants (`aggregateFieldName`,
`primaryAxisGroupByFieldName`,
`secondaryAxisGroupByFieldName`, `groupByFieldName`, ratio `fieldName`),
resolved to UUIDs server-side by `resolveWidgetFieldNamesToIds`. UUID
variants
still win when both are given.
### 2. `upsert_complete_view` — one atomic call to build/reconfigure a
view
- New `upsert_complete_view` tool + `ViewService.upsertCompleteView`:
create or
update a view together with its fields, filters, and sorts.
- Children are **declarative**: a provided array replaces all existing
entries of
that kind, `[]` clears them, omitting leaves them untouched. Fields are
referenced by name or UUID; no child-row IDs needed.
- Runs as a **single workspace migration** (`view` + `viewField` +
`viewFilter` +
`viewSort` in one `validateBuildAndRunWorkspaceMigration` matrice)
instead of
chained per-entity service calls. New
`buildCompleteViewChildrenFlatOperations`
util assembles the child create/delete operations.
- Granular tools (`create_view_filter`, `update_view_sort`, …) are
retained for
surgical single-entry edits.
### 3. Chart filters on dashboard widgets (end-to-end)
- Added `chartFilterSchema` (`recordFilters` + optional
`recordFilterGroups` for
AND/OR logic) to the four chart configs, with field-by-name or -UUID
references
and documented operands/value formats.
- **Relative dates supported** — e.g. `PAST_7_DAY`, `THIS_1_MONTH`,
`NEXT_3_WEEK`,
plus open-ended `IS_IN_PAST` / `IS_IN_FUTURE` / `IS_TODAY`. Filters
route
through the same read pipeline (`computeRecordGqlOperationFilter`) as
view
filters, so they resolve and apply correctly.
- `resolveChartFilterFieldNamesToIds` resolves filter `fieldName` → id
against the
widget object.
### 4. Re-enable AI-assisted dashboards
- Removed the "coming soon" gating (`isActive: false` on the dashboard
skill and
the "not available yet" copy in the MCP server + chat prompts) and
registered
`DashboardToolProvider`.
- Rewrote the dashboard skill prompt: confirmation gate (present a plan,
wait for
confirmation), completion guard (once confirmed, emit the create tool
in-turn —
no "now let me…" preambles), default-and-proceed (pick sensible defaults
for
missing fields instead of stalling), and an intent gate so informational
dashboard questions are answered directly without loading skills.
### 5. Frontend: clearer advanced-filter labels
- `useRecordFilterField` now derives the filter label from field
metadata and
appends the relation target field (e.g. `Company → Name`), so
relation/target
filters — including those set by the AI — display correctly instead of
showing
a stale/blank stored label.
## Fixes
- **`get_object_metadata({ objectName })` crash.**
`ObjectMetadataService.findManyWithinWorkspace`
spread an array-form (`OR`) `where` into a plain object, producing
`{ "0": {...}, "1": {...}, workspaceId }` → `Property "0" was not found
in
"ObjectMetadataEntity"`. Now injects `workspaceId` into each OR clause,
so name
lookups work.
- **Invalid SELECT/MULTI_SELECT filter options silently produced broken
charts/views.**
Chart-configuration validation and the migration-layer
`FlatViewFilterValidator`
now reject filters that reference options that don't exist, with a clear
`Allowed values: …` message at creation time (shared
`getInvalidSelectFilterOptionValues` util + tests).
- **Non-atomic view assembly.** The previous multi-call view build could
leave a
half-built view on failure; `upsert_complete_view` now runs as a single
transaction (one validation pass, one cache recompute, rollback on
error).
- **Blank RECORD_TABLE widgets from UNLISTED views.** Guidance + the
upsert
ownership check steer widget-backing views to `WORKSPACE` visibility; an
UNLISTED view created without an owner renders a blank widget.
- **Extra discovery round-trip removed.** Deleted the skill→tool bundle
mechanism
(`SKILL_TOOL_BUNDLES`, `getBundledToolNamesForSkills`, and the
`load_skills`
schema-loading path) that forced a second `learn_tools` call.
- **Type-safety of widget resolution.** Reworked the widget resolver to
build a
properly typed `WidgetWithMetadataIds` (dedicated input/output types)
instead of
returning an untyped, cast-heavy object.
## Notes
- Backend changes are in `twenty-server`; one small `twenty-front`
change to the
advanced-filter label hook. No entity/schema changes, so no migration.
- Tests added: `getInvalidSelectFilterOptionValues`,
`resolveWidgetFieldNamesToIds`
(incl. filter/relative-date resolution), `update_dashboard_widget`, and
expanded
view-tools factory specs.
- Design decisions: dedicated composite tool over code-interpreter
orchestration
(atomicity + validation + consistency with `create_complete_dashboard` /
`create_complete_workflow`); name-or-UUID but no child-row IDs on
`upsert_complete_view`; name→id resolution kept as stateless utils, not
services.
## Test plan
- [ ] `npx nx run twenty-server:typecheck`
- [ ] `npx nx lint:diff-with-main twenty-server` and `twenty-front`
- [ ] `npx nx test twenty-server` (view tools factory,
`getInvalidSelectFilterOptionValues`,
`resolveWidgetFieldNamesToIds`, `update_dashboard_widget`)
- [ ] AI chat: "Create a dashboard with a chart of deal value by
pipeline stage
and a table of the top 10 open opportunities" → plans, waits for
confirmation, then builds with fewer round-trips
- [ ] AI chat: add a chart widget filtered by a relative date (e.g.
deals created
in `PAST_7_DAY`) and confirm the chart is actually filtered
- [ ] Filter on a non-existent SELECT option is rejected with a clear
error

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.
