Charles Bochet 334e962ab5 fix: cannot create record from table view — empty morph to-many relation returns null (#21846)
## Problem

Creating a record from the table view (reproduced on **People**) crashes
the client even though the `createOne…` mutation succeeds server-side,
so the record never appears:

```
Cannot read properties of null (reading 'map')
  getRecordConnectionFromRecords → getRecordNodeFromRecord → optimistic cache effect → createOneRecord
```

## Root cause

An empty **morph** to-many relation comes back as `null`, while every
other to-many relation comes back as `{ edges: [] }`. The frontend then
runs `null.map` while building the optimistic cache node; the error
escapes the mutation `update`, the rollback evicts the record, and it
never lands in the table.

## Fix

**Server** — plain to-many relations are hydrated to `[]` and formatted
to `{ edges: [] }` by `ObjectRecordsToGraphqlConnectionHelper`; an empty
morph to-many was left undefined and the field was skipped (→ `null`).
Default an unset to-many value to `[]` so it goes through the **same
connection path as plain to-many relations**.

**Frontend** — defensive guard in `getRecordNodeFromRecord`: a to-many
relation whose value isn't an array is skipped instead of crashing,
mirroring the existing guard in `extractTargetRecordsFromRelation`.
Needed regardless, since cached data / SSE / older servers still send
`null`.

## Tests

- Unit: `getRecordNodeFromRecord` skips a null to-many (reproduces the
exact crash without the guard).
- Integration: an empty morph `ONE_TO_MANY` read returns `{ edges: []
}`, not null.

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.
