Marie 6e2df0654b [Workflows] Allow iterator to take whole item as variable (#22031)
**Select the whole item in iterator loops, and iterate over a step's
array output**
## Summary
Two related improvements to working with lists in workflows:
- Pick the current item as a whole inside an iterator loop. Previously,
in a node inside the loop, you could only reference individual fields of
the Iterator's current item. Now you can select the whole item (e.g. a
full record) — useful for passing it straight into a downstream step.

/>
- Iterate over a step's array output. A Code / Logic Function step that
returns a top-level array couldn't be fed to the Iterator: its output
was flattened into indexed entries (0, 1, …) with no way to select the
array as a whole. A new "Whole list" option selects the step's entire
output, and the Iterator infers the per-iteration item shape from it.

/>


Together these complete the loop ergonomics: select a list → iterate →
reference the current item (whole or by field) downstream — matching the
model used by tools like Windmill.

## What changed
- The variable picker offers a "Use the whole item" option when viewing
an iterator's current item, and a "Whole list" option when a step
returns a top-level array.
- The Iterator's current-item schema can now be inferred from a variable
pointing at a step's whole output.

## Risks for existing workflows
None expected. The change is purely additive:
- No DB migration and no change to how output schemas are stored or read
— existing schemas, variables, and iterators behave identically.
- No change to runtime variable resolution; existing {{step.field}} and
current-item references are untouched.
- The new options only apply to new selections (whole item / whole
list); all existing paths take the unchanged code path.
- The only edge case: array detection is heuristic (an output whose keys
are exactly 0…n-1), so an object that happens to have those keys would
also show "Whole list". This is rare for real outputs, affects nothing
unless a user selects it, and fails safe — the Iterator validates its
input and throws a clear "items must be an array" error if a non-array
is passed.

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.
