## Summary Cross-version upgrades from pre-2.3 still fail after #20581 / #20583 — different column, structurally similar problem: ``` column ViewSortEntity.subFieldName does not exist at WorkspaceFlatViewSortMapCacheService.computeForCache (...flat-view-sort/services/workspace-flat-view-sort-map-cache.service.js:40) ... triggered indirectly by DropMessageDirectionFieldCommand (2.3 workspace command) ``` (see https://github.com/twentyhq/twenty-infra/actions/runs/25862573418/job/75997337604) ### Why narrowing the `select` doesn't fit here In the previous two PRs the offender was a bare `findOne` on `WorkspaceEntity` — easy to narrow. Here the chain is: 1. The 2.3 `DropMessageDirectionFieldCommand` builds a workspace migration that deletes a `fieldMetadata` (the `direction` field). 2. `WorkspaceMigrationRunnerService.run` walks the metadata cascade graph (`getMetadataRelatedMetadataNames`) and pulls `viewSort` into the dependency set because `viewSort` is the inverse one-to-many of `fieldMetadata` (deleting a field cascades to view sorts that reference it). 3. That maps to cache keys → `flatViewSortMaps` gets requested → `WorkspaceFlatViewSortMapCacheService.computeForCache` runs. 4. `computeForCache` does `viewSortRepository.find({ where: { workspaceId }, withDeleted: true })` with no `select`, so TypeORM emits a SELECT that includes `subFieldName` — the column doesn't exist in DB yet (added by a 2.5 instance command much later in the sequence). 💥 Narrowing the cache provider's select would silently drop `subFieldName` from the cache for runtime use too, until something invalidates it. Brittle, and would re-break the next time anyone adds a `viewSort` column. ### Structural fix Ensure the column exists in DB before any 2.3 workspace command can trigger that cascade. Within a version, the upgrade runner sorts: fast instance → slow instance → workspace, so a new 2.3 fast instance command lands before `DropMessageDirectionFieldCommand`. - **Add** `2-3/2-3-instance-command-fast-1747234200000-add-sub-field-name-to-view-sort.ts` — `ALTER TABLE ... ADD COLUMN IF NOT EXISTS "subFieldName"`. Comment in the file explains the cascade and why this lives in 2.3 instead of 2.5. - **Make idempotent** the existing `2-5/...-add-sub-field-name-to-view-sort.ts` — switched to `ADD COLUMN IF NOT EXISTS` / `DROP COLUMN IF EXISTS` so it's a no-op on cross-upgrade paths while still creating the column on fresh-from-2.5 installs. - Register the new command in `instance-commands.constant.ts`. The 2.5 command body change is semantically preserving (idempotent), and v2.5.0 hasn't shipped to any production DB yet — so this doesn't violate the "never rewrite committed instance commands" rule in spirit. ### Note on the previous two PRs #20581 and #20583 narrowed `select` on `WorkspaceEntity` for `isInternalMessagesImportEnabled`. That's a band-aid that works because there's a small, enumerable set of bare `workspaceRepository.findOne` call sites. It could in principle be replaced with the same pattern as this PR (early 2.x instance command that adds the workspace column). Not doing that here to keep the diff tight, but happy to follow up if preferred. ## Test plan - [ ] Re-run twenty-infra cross-version-upgrade CI and confirm 2.3 workspace commands complete - [ ] Verify the new 2.3 instance command and the modified 2.5 instance command are both idempotent (running upgrade twice should not error) - [ ] Verify a fresh install path still ends with `subFieldName` present on `core.viewSort`

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.
