## Summary - Converts applicationVariable from a bespoke sync path to a proper SyncableEntity, unifying it with the workspace migration pipeline used by all other manifest-managed entities (agent, skill, frontComponent, webhook, etc.) - Removes the upsertManyApplicationVariableEntities method and its direct-DB-mutation approach in favor of the standard validate → build → run action handler pipeline - Adds universalIdentifier, deletedAt columns and makes applicationId NOT NULL via an instance command migration ## Motivation Before this change, applicationVariable was the only manifest-managed entity that bypassed ApplicationManifestMigrationService.syncMetadataFromManifest(). It used a bespoke service method called directly from syncApplication(), creating two mental models, two validation styles, and two cache invalidation patterns. Now there's one unified pipeline for all manifest entities. ## What changed ### Entity refactor: - ApplicationVariableEntity now extends SyncableEntity (gains universalIdentifier, non-nullable applicationId with CASCADE, soft-delete via deletedAt) ### New flat entity layer (flat-application-variable/): - Type, maps type, editable properties constant, entity-to-flat converter, cache service, module ### New migration pipeline wiring: - Manifest converter (fromApplicationVariableManifestToUniversalFlatApplicationVariable) - Validator service (FlatApplicationVariableValidatorService) - Builder service (WorkspaceMigrationApplicationVariableActionsBuilderService) - Create/Update/Delete action handlers with secret encryption hooks - Registered in orchestrator, builder module, runner module, and all type registries ### Removed bespoke path: - Deleted upsertManyApplicationVariableEntities from ApplicationVariableEntityService - Removed its call from ApplicationSyncService.syncApplication() - Kept update() (operator-set value at runtime) and getDisplayValue() (runtime display) ### Database migration: - Instance command to add columns, backfill universalIdentifier, enforce NOT NULL constraints, and update indexes ## Test plan - npx nx typecheck twenty-server passes (0 errors) - Unit tests pass (application-variable.service.spec.ts, build-env-var.spec.ts) - Install an app with applicationVariables in its manifest → variables appear with correct universalIdentifier - Update app manifest (add/remove/modify a variable) → migration pipeline handles diff correctly - Operator-set value via update endpoint persists correctly with encryption - Uninstall app → variables cascade-deleted - app dev --once on example app syncs without errors

Why Twenty
Twenty gives technical teams the building blocks for a custom CRM that meets complex business needs and quickly adapts as the business evolves. Twenty is the CRM you build, ship, and version like the rest of your stack.

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.
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.
