## Summary Closes #18673 Some languages (e.g., German "Unternehmen") and even English words (sheep, deer, aircraft, series) have identical singular and plural forms. Twenty previously blocked saving when labels matched, making it impossible to correctly name objects in these cases. - **Labels** are purely display strings — removed the equality validation from both the frontend Zod schema and backend validator - **API names** (nameSingular/namePlural) must stay different since they generate distinct GraphQL resolvers (`findOne` vs `findMany`, `createOne` vs `createMany`, etc.) and REST endpoints — this validation is preserved - Added a shared `computeMetadataNamesFromLabels` util in `twenty-shared` that auto-appends `'s'` to the plural API name when both labels produce the same camelCase name (e.g., "Unternehmen" → `unternehmen` / `unternehmens`) - Both the frontend form and backend sync-check use the same shared util — single source of truth, no duplicated logic **No retroactive impact**: since the old code prevented identical labels from ever being saved, no existing workspace has `labelSingular === labelPlural`. ## Test plan - [x] New unit tests for `computeMetadataNamesFromLabels` (7 tests: standard labels, Sheep, Unternehmen, Aircraft, empty labels, different labels, applyCustomSuffix) - [x] Updated frontend schema validation tests (identical labels with different names now passes; identical names still fails) - [x] Updated backend integration test cases (removed identical-label failing cases) - [ ] Manual: create a new object with identical singular/plural labels (e.g. "Sheep" / "Sheep") — should save successfully with API names `sheep` / `sheeps` - [ ] Manual: verify existing objects with different labels still work unchanged Made with [Cursor](https://cursor.com)

Why Twenty
We built Twenty for three reasons:
CRMs are too expensive, and users are trapped. Companies use locked-in customer data to hike prices. It shouldn't be that way.
A fresh start is required to build a better experience. We can learn from past mistakes and craft a cohesive experience inspired by new UX patterns from tools like Notion, Airtable or Linear.
We believe in open-source and community. Hundreds of developers are already building Twenty together. Once we have plugin capabilities, a whole ecosystem will grow around it.
