## Fix: crash on Settings → Object → Search after changing label identifier ### Problem Opening the Search section (or changing an object's label identifier) threw `t.searchFieldMetadatas is not iterable` in `SettingsObjectSearchSection`. ### Root cause `EnrichedObjectMetadataItem.searchFieldMetadatas` is typed as a non-optional array, but at runtime it can be `undefined`. `useLoadMinimalMetadata` stores the minimal objects with `objectMetadataItems as unknown as FlatObjectMetadataItem[]`. The minimal query doesn't select `searchFieldMetadataList`, so the double-cast hides that the property is missing. Until the full metadata reload lands, the object has no `searchFieldMetadatas`, and `objectMetadataItemsWithFieldsSelector` spreads that `undefined` straight through to the component, which spreads it (`[...searchFieldMetadatas]`) and crashes. (`fields`/`indexMetadatas` never hit this because they come from `Map.get()`, which is honestly typed as `| undefined` and already falls back to `[]`.) ### Fix Guarantee the array contract in `objectMetadataItemsWithFieldsSelector`, matching how `fields`/`indexMetadatas` are already defaulted: `searchFieldMetadatas: flatObject.searchFieldMetadatas ?? []`. ### Tradeoff considered The "clean" alternative is promoting `searchFieldMetadatas` to its own metadata-store entity (like `indexMetadataItems`), which would make the `?? []` type-mandated via `Map.get`. Rejected for now: it's a medium cross-package refactor (new store key, type, selectors, split/reload wiring, plus a server-side collection hash for staleness) for an entity that is never independently mutated — it only changes as a side effect of label-identifier/field updates, so independent caching buys nothing. The selector default fixes the crash with minimal surface area; the deeper cleanup (making the `as unknown as` cast honest, or splitting the store) can be deferred until search-field metadata becomes directly editable.

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.
Everything you need
Twenty gives you the building blocks of a modern CRM (objects, views, workflows, and agents) and lets you extend them as code. Here's a tour of what's in the box.
