## Summary
The Notes widget (and other record-bound widgets like Tasks, Files,
Calendar, Emails) incorrectly displayed "Invalid Configuration" when
rendered on dashboard or standalone page contexts. The root cause was an
overly broad `ErrorBoundary` that caught all runtime errors uniformly
and displayed a misleading error message.
## Related issue
Fixes: #20118
## Problem Analysis
**Proximate Cause:**
- `NotesCard` calls `useTargetRecord()` which throws a generic `Error`
when `targetRecordIdentifier` is undefined
- `ErrorBoundary` in `WidgetCardShell.tsx` catches this error and
renders `PageLayoutWidgetInvalidConfigDisplay`
- This displays "Invalid Configuration" which is factually misleading
**Triggering Cause:**
- Commit 5cd8b7899d removed the feature flag gate on page layouts,
making them standard for all workspaces
- This exposed record-bound widgets to dashboard contexts where
`targetRecordIdentifier` is intentionally undefined
**Error Propagation Chain:**
```
WidgetContentRenderer → NoteWidget → NotesCard → useTargetRecord()
useTargetRecord() throws Error('useTargetRecord must be used within a record page context')
ErrorBoundary catches error → PageLayoutWidgetInvalidConfigDisplay renders misleading UI
```
## Solution
Introduced a distinction between **configuration errors** and **record
context requirement errors** by:
1. Creating a custom error class `RecordContextRequiredError`
2. Updating `useTargetRecord()` to throw this specific error type
3. Creating a dedicated display component for record context errors
4. Updating the `ErrorBoundary` fallback to handle error types
appropriately
## User Impact
| Before | After |
|--------|-------|
| "Invalid Configuration" (red badge) | "Record Required" (gray badge) |
| Misleading error message | Accurate context-aware message |
| Users think widget is broken | Users understand widget needs record
context |

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.
