Replaces the per-view "Open in" setting with a two-level model, following up on #23422 / #23424 and superseding the closed #23446 and #23457: - `objectMetadata.openRecordIn`: `SIDE_PANEL` | `RECORD_PAGE` | `USER_CHOICE` (default `USER_CHOICE`) - `workspaceMember.openRecordIn`: `SIDE_PANEL` | `RECORD_PAGE` (default `SIDE_PANEL`), editable in Settings > Experience The rule: records open where the member prefers, unless the object pins them, and never in a panel there is no room for (mobile always resolves to the record page). ## Why Having the setting on views, objects and members at once was heavy, and view-level resolution was fragile: a chip rendered outside a view (notes, front components, kanban cards pointing at another object) had no view to read from, which is the class of bug behind #23422. Resolution is now context-free: it needs only the object, the current member and the viewport, so chips behave identically everywhere by construction. ## Changes **Object level** - New `openRecordIn` enum column on `objectMetadata`, editable through `updateOneObject` and surfaced in Settings > Data model > Object > Layout ("Open records in": Member preference / Side Panel / Record Page) - Standard definitions pin `workflow`, `workflowVersion`, `dashboard` and `messageCampaign` to the record page (matching the previously hardcoded list) and `calendarEvent` to the side panel (it has no curated record page); everything else, including `workflowRun`, follows the member preference - Apps can set it in `defineObject()` via the object manifest **Member level** - New `openRecordIn` standard field on `workspaceMember`, persisted through the existing settings path (same as `colorScheme`) and exposed in Settings > Experience **View level (deprecated)** - `view.openRecordIn` is no longer read or written by the frontend; the "Open in" entry is gone from the view options dropdown - The column, DTO field and inputs are kept for one release for API compatibility: the output field carries a `deprecationReason`, the inputs keep accepting the value with a `Deprecated:` description (NestJS silently drops input fields that have a `deprecationReason`, which would have been a breaking change) **Upgrade (2.27)** - Fast instance command adds the `objectMetadata.openRecordIn` column defaulting to `USER_CHOICE` - Workspace command adds the `workspaceMember.openRecordIn` field - Workspace command seeds the object column from the standard definitions (any non-`USER_CHOICE` value), then lifts deliberate per-view record page choices onto objects the definitions don't pin **Debt removed** - `canOpenObjectInSidePanel` hardcoded object list and its test - `ObjectOptionsDropdownLayoutOpenInContent` and the `layoutOpenIn` dropdown wiring - `DefaultViewOpenRecordIn` - Context-store/view-based resolution in `useResolveOpenRecordIn` (now reads object metadata + member + viewport) - Front components no longer guess from the current view: an explicit side-panel call honours a pinned object and the viewport, nothing else ## Verification - Ran the three upgrade commands against a live database: column created, the pinned standard objects seeded per workspace (record page pins plus calendarEvent to side panel), member field backfilled to `SIDE_PANEL`; seed rerun is a no-op - Seed command verified on a simulated pre-upgrade workspace (index view set to record page on company): pins the standard objects plus company, idempotent on rerun - Both packages typecheck and lint clean; affected unit suites and the application sync, view creation and metadata cache integration specs pass --------- Co-authored-by: Thomas des Francs <tdesfrancs@gmail.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 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.
