**Stacked on #20527** https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/48995655-401a-4c35-8094-e88da8408bdd ## Summary Surfaces the one-hop relation traversal added in #20527 through the existing **composite sub-field dropdown pattern**. Clicking a MANY_TO_ONE relation field in the "+ Filter" picker now opens the same second-level dropdown that composite fields (FULL_NAME, ADDRESS, CURRENCY, etc.) already use — populated with the target object's filterable fields. Picking one (e.g. `Company → Name`) builds a filter that serializes to the nested GraphQL filter the backend now accepts: `{ company: { name: { ilike: "%X%" } } }`. No new components. The whole feature reuses `AdvancedFilterSubFieldSelectMenu` + the existing `subFieldNameUsedInDropdownComponentState` + the existing `MenuItem hasSubMenu` indicator. Only the conditions that gate the sub-menu (and the sub-menu's content for relations) were broadened. ## What landed | File | Change | |---|---| | `ObjectFilterDropdownFilterSelectMenuItem` | Sub-menu chevron now shows on MANY_TO_ONE relations (`isManyToOneRelationField` util). | | `AdvancedFilterFieldSelectMenu` | Relation clicks open the sub-menu alongside composite clicks. | | `AdvancedFilterSubFieldSelectMenu` | New branch: when the sub-menu type is `'RELATION'`, render the target object's filterable fields via `useFilterableFieldMetadataItems(targetObjectMetadataId)`. Composite logic untouched. | | `objectFilterDropdownSubMenuFieldType` state | Widened to accept a `'RELATION'` sentinel. Role-permissions sub-field menu narrows it back out (it doesn't traverse relations). | | `useSelectFieldUsedInAdvancedFilterDropdown` | New optional `targetFieldMetadataItem` arg. When present, the stored RecordFilter's `type` is the target field's type so the operand picker and value input render the target's operands (`'TEXT'` operators when filtering `company.name`, etc.). | | `turnRecordFilterIntoGqlOperationFilter` (shared) | When the filter targets a `RELATION` field with a `subFieldName`, synthesize a field-metadata for the target, recurse to build the inner filter, then wrap it under the relation field's name → `{ relationName: { targetFieldName: { ...operator } } }`. | `RecordFilter.subFieldName` stays narrowly typed as `CompositeFieldSubFieldName` so the wide downstream consumers (`shouldShowFilterTextInput`, composite handlers in the serializer, etc.) don't change. The relation target field's name is stored through a narrowly-scoped cast at the dropdown's storage point — the serializer checks `filter.type === 'RELATION'` before interpreting it as a target field name, so the cast can't be mis-read by composite-only code paths. ## Test plan - [ ] Open a table view on People, click "+ Filter", click "Company" → sub-menu opens with Company's filterable fields - [ ] Pick "Name" → operand picker shows TEXT operators (Contains, Equals, …) - [ ] Type "Airbnb" → filter applies, table shows people whose company name contains "Airbnb" - [ ] Verify network tab: the GraphQL filter variable is `{ company: { name: { ilike: "%Airbnb%" } } }` - [ ] Same flow with a composite target field (e.g. `Company → annualRecurringRevenue → amountMicros`) — should work end-to-end (backend supports composite-within-relation; #20527 has an integration test covering this) - [ ] Composite fields (FULL_NAME, ADDRESS) still open their normal sub-menu and filter correctly — no regression - [ ] Role-permissions field-select sub-field menu is unaffected (it bails out early on the RELATION sentinel) ## Out of scope - ONE_TO_MANY traversal (no backend support yet) - Aggregates (`people.count > 5`) - Persisting relation-traversal filters into a saved view (ViewFilter has no `relationPath` column yet; that's a separate slice) - REST API DSL changes - AI Tools 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) --------- Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>

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.
