Félix Malfait 291ce5ccdb fix(filters): make filter dispatcher own relation-target resolution (#20670)
## Summary

Two relation-traversal bugs surfaced post-merge of #20533, both rooted
in the same architectural smell: the GraphQL filter dispatcher took a
flat `fields: FieldShared[]` array and silently dropped any filter whose
`relationTargetFieldMetadataId` wasn't in that array. Callers had to
remember to pre-augment the list with relation targets — and 16+ call
sites did not all know this.

This PR fixes both bugs and removes the smell.

### Bug 1 — Save as new view loses the relation target

`useCreateViewFromCurrentView` built the create-filter input without
`relationTargetFieldMetadataId`. The saved view's filter persisted
without the traversal — on reload the chip showed "Company contains
'air'" instead of "Company → Name contains 'air'". Discarded at save
time, not at read time.

Fix: include `relationTargetFieldMetadataId` in the create input.
(Commit 1.)

### Bug 2 — Workflow Search Records drops one-hop traversals

`FindRecordsWorkflowAction` built its fields list from
`flatObjectMetadata.fieldIds` only (source object's fields). The shared
dispatcher then couldn't resolve the relation target field on the
related object and silently dropped the filter — a configured "People
where Company → Name Contains 'Airbnb'" came through as `{ and: [] }`.

This was the same shape as bugs already fixed in 5 other call sites
(chart filters, view filters, record table, etc.). The pattern was:
caller forgets to augment fields → dispatcher silently drops the filter.

Fix (commit 2): change the dispatcher to take a
`findFieldMetadataItemById: (id) => FieldShared | undefined` resolver
callback. Both source-field and relation-target-field lookups go through
the same resolver, so callers no longer need to know about the
augmentation requirement. Frontend callers pass a workspace-wide
resolver built from `flattenedFieldMetadataItemsSelector`; server
callers wrap `findFlatEntityByIdInFlatEntityMaps` on
`flatFieldMetadataMaps`. In both cases relation-target lookups just
work, because the resolver can see fields on related objects.

## Why this matters

Before: "if you call the dispatcher, pre-augment your fields list with
relation targets, or filters get silently dropped." An invariant only
enforceable by code review, broken often enough to ship two user-visible
bugs in one week.

After: the dispatcher resolves field ids itself. There's no list to
forget to augment. The failure mode (filter silently dropped) becomes
structurally impossible at the dispatcher boundary.

Net diff: 240 insertions, 319 deletions. Removed
`augmentFieldsWithRelationTargets` (frontend) and the workflow
whack-a-mole code (server).

## Test plan
- [ ] Save view: create an advanced filter using a one-hop relation
traversal, click "Save as new view", reload, confirm the chip still
reads "Source → Target operator value"
- [ ] Workflow: configure a Search Records action with a
relation-traversal filter, run the workflow, confirm the filter is
actually applied
- [ ] Dashboard chart: configure a chart with a relation-traversal
filter, confirm the chart data respects it
- [ ] Record table, group-by, calendar, total count, footer aggregates:
all continue to work with both plain and relation-traversal filters

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 deploy

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.
