# Fix: sanitize chart filters referencing deactivated/deleted fields ## Summary When a field used in a chart (graph) widget filter was later **deactivated or deleted**, saving the page layout failed with a backend error such as: > Chart "...": One of the chart filters uses "...", but it was deleted. Please remove or replace this filter rule. This happened even after the user tried to remove the offending filter rule, because the invalid filter could still end up in the saved configuration. This PR makes invalid chart filters get cleaned up reliably — both as the user edits filters and, as a safety net, at save time. ## Root causes - **Edit-time persistence kept invalid filters.** `handleFiltersUpdate` persisted the current filter state to the page layout draft without sanitizing it against the object's active fields. An invalid filter (referencing a deactivated/deleted field) was re-saved on every update, blocking the configuration from being accepted. - **Save never enforced the cleanup.** `useSavePageLayout` serialized the draft as-is. The "filters referencing deactivated/deleted fields will be automatically removed on save" promise shown in the warning banner was only honored reactively (when the filter panel was actively edited), never at the actual save boundary. A chart whose filter panel wasn't touched kept its stale invalid filter in the payload. - **Query time treated inactive fields as valid.** `useGraphWidgetQueryCommon` considered all fields (including inactive ones) valid, so deactivated-field filters were never dropped when running the chart query. ## Changes ### Edit-time (keeps draft and UI in sync as you edit) - `ChartFiltersSettings` — sanitize filters in `handleFiltersUpdate` before writing to the draft, dropping any filter whose `fieldMetadataId` is not in the active-fields set. - `dropChartRecordFiltersWithDeletedFields` — enhanced to also clean up filter groups left orphaned once invalid filters are removed (iteratively removing empty groups and re-parenting checks). - `useGraphWidgetQueryCommon` — restrict valid field IDs to `isActive` fields so deactivated-field filters are silently dropped at query execution. - `ChartFiltersDeletedFieldsWarning` — updated copy to mention both deactivated and deleted fields. ### Save-time safety net (guarantees no invalid filter is ever persisted) - New `sanitizeChartFiltersInPageLayoutDraft` util — walks every chart widget in the draft and drops record filters (and now-orphaned groups) whose `fieldMetadataId` is not in the widget object's set of active fields. It leaves non-chart widgets untouched and leaves filters intact when the object metadata can't be resolved (avoids wiping valid filters during metadata loading). - `useSavePageLayout` — builds a `Map<objectMetadataId, Set<activeFieldId>>` from `useObjectMetadataItems()` and sanitizes the draft before converting it to the update input. This layer only ever removes filters whose field is genuinely deactivated/deleted — the exact set the backend rejects — and never removes filters pointing at valid fields. ## Tests - `dropChartRecordFiltersWithDeletedFields.test.ts` — extended coverage for orphaned filter-group cleanup. - `sanitizeChartFiltersInPageLayoutDraft.test.ts` — new: drops deactivated/deleted-field filters on save, keeps valid filters, cleans up orphaned groups, leaves non-chart widgets alone, and leaves filters untouched when object metadata is unresolved. <!-- This is an auto-generated description by cubic. --> <a href="https://cubic.dev/pr/twentyhq/twenty/pull/21958?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. --> --------- Co-authored-by: Charles Bochet <charles@twenty.com>

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.
