## Context When an object is created via the metadata API, `createOneObject` creates its side-effect entities (INDEX view + viewFields, indexes, navigation menu item, "go to" command menu item, record-page fields view, page layout/tabs/widgets) across **three separate `validateBuildAndRunWorkspaceMigration` calls**, purely because the protection behavior (mutations → overrides, delete → deactivate, reset → reactivate) was keyed on *"owned by the standard app"*, forcing the side effects into batches with different application owners. This misrepresents ownership and breaks atomicity. This PR separates two orthogonal concepts: - **Ownership** (`applicationId`), the true owner: the caller's application (the workspace custom app today, 3rd-party apps later). - **Protection** (`isSystemSideEffect`), the row was generated by the system, so user mutations route to overrides, deletion becomes deactivation, and reset restores defaults. Once side effects are re-owned to the caller, the old `applicationId === standardApp` check can no longer tell an original side-effect row from a user-added one so a dedicated `isSystemSideEffect` flag carries the protection instead. This is **PR 1 of 2** (forward-only). It makes newly created objects and fields correct; existing workspaces are handled by a follow-up backfill (see *Out of scope*). ## What this PR does - **`isSystemSideEffect` column** on the 8 affected entities (`view`, `viewField`, `indexMetadata`, `commandMenuItem`, `pageLayout`, `pageLayoutTab`, `pageLayoutWidget`, `fieldMetadata`), with `@WasIntroducedInUpgrade` + an entry in the flat-entity property configuration (`toCompare: true`, read-only). - **Single atomic migration in `createOneObject`**: the three `validateBuildAndRunWorkspaceMigration` calls are merged into one, owned by the caller (`resolvedOwnerFlatApplication`) and the record-page view/fields, page layout, and navigation command item are re-owned to the caller and flagged `isSystemSideEffect: true`. `buildNavigationFlatCommandMenuItem` is parameterized with `applicationUniversalIdentifier` (no longer hardcoded to the standard app). - **Field-creation side effects** (`createManyFields`/`createOneField` already run as a single caller-owned migration, so no re-ownership/merge was needed): the auto-created viewField is flagged `isSystemSideEffect: true`, and a new field now also propagates to the object's **INDEX/table view** (added there as a **hidden** column, `isVisible: false`) in addition to the record-page FIELDS widget. The INDEX view is targeted directly by `key = INDEX` (it is not a page-layout widget), de-duplicated per `(viewId, fieldMetadataUniversalIdentifier)` to respect the per-view unique index. The unique-field index is likewise flagged the inverse relation field stays unflagged (`isSystem: false`). - **Protection predicate** extended: `isCallerOverridingEntity` and the removal/reset split strategies now treat `isSystemSideEffect` rows as protected even when caller-owned (route to overrides / deactivate / reset) and the page-layout-reset guards allow resetting flagged entities. - **Standard compute maps** set the flag consistently so a re-sync produces no diff (standard-object side effects stay `false`; per-object nav command items and custom-object base fields are `true`). - **Read-only GraphQL exposure** of `isSystemSideEffect` on the view / view-field / page-layout / tab / widget / command-menu-item DTOs (not exposed on create/update inputs). => Todo: needs to take this new flag into account. This is fine for now because isSystem remains on object/field. - **Fast instance command** (`2-14`) adding the 8 columns (`NOT NULL DEFAULT false`). ## Scope decisions - **`pageLayout` is not an `OverridableEntity`**, its own row has nothing user-overridable (all customization lives on tabs/widgets). It's dual-purpose (`RECORD_PAGE` side-effect vs. user `DASHBOARD`), so it gets `isSystemSideEffect` for protection only, no `overrides` jsonb. - **`navigationMenuItem` is out of scope.**: Those are side effects only for the metadata API and not marked as "system" (they can be deleted/updated etc...) - **`viewFieldGroup` is not a side effect**, it's only created via the explicit view-field-group API, never by object/field creation, so it gets no flag. ## Out of scope (follow-ups) **PR 2** — slow per-workspace backfill (re-own + flag existing side effects, recreate missing ones) and deterministic v5 identifiers for base fields / pageLayout / tab. <!-- This is an auto-generated description by cubic. --> <a href="https://cubic.dev/pr/twentyhq/twenty/pull/21673?utm_source=github" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-no-image-dialog="true"><picture><source media="(prefers-color-scheme: dark)" srcset="https://www.cubic.dev/buttons/review-in-cubic-dark.svg"><source media="(prefers-color-scheme: light)" srcset="https://www.cubic.dev/buttons/review-in-cubic-light.svg"><img alt="Review in cubic" src="https://www.cubic.dev/buttons/review-in-cubic-dark.svg"></picture></a> <!-- End of auto-generated description by cubic. -->

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.
