[CRITICAL] New workspace creation completely blocked - Dashboard object missing due to feature flag issue

[shanewg]

Description

New workspace/account creation is completely broken in the latest version of Twenty CRM. The
workspace activation process fails with a fatal error stating that the "dashboard" object cannot be
found. This prevents any new users from creating accounts or workspaces, making new Twenty CRM
deployments unusable.

Error Message

Error: Target object dashboard not found in database for relation dashboard of type MANY_TO_ONE
at StandardFieldRelationFactory.computeRelationFieldsForStandardObject
at WorkspaceSyncFieldMetadataRelationService.synchronizeStandardObjectRelationFields
at WorkspaceSyncMetadataService.synchronize
at WorkspaceManagerService.init
at WorkspaceService.activateWorkspace

Root Cause

1. The DashboardWorkspaceEntity in
   /src/modules/dashboard/standard-objects/dashboard.workspace-entity.ts is gated behind a feature
   flag:

   @WorkspaceGate({
     featureFlag: FeatureFlagKey.IS_PAGE_LAYOUT_ENABLED,
   })

2. The DEFAULT_FEATURE_FLAGS array in
   /src/engine/workspace-manager/workspace-sync-metadata/constants/default-feature-flags.ts is empty:
   export const DEFAULT_FEATURE_FLAGS = [];
3. During workspace activation, the dashboard object is never created because the feature flag isn't
   enabled, but other entities have relations that expect the dashboard object to exist, causing a
   fatal error.

Impact

• Severity: CRITICAL - Complete blocker for new installations
• All new Twenty CRM deployments are non-functional
• Cannot create any new workspaces or user accounts
• No way for end users to work around this issue

Steps to Reproduce

1. Clone the latest Twenty CRM repository
2. Set up a fresh PostgreSQL database
3. Run npx nx database:reset twenty-server
4. Start the server with yarn start
5. Attempt to create a new account through the UI
6. Workspace activation fails with the dashboard object error

Environment

• Twenty CRM version: Latest main branch (commit e787dad and later)
• Node.js version: 24.5.0
• PostgreSQL: Any version
• Affects all operating systems

Additional Context

The UI gets stuck on "Creating your workspace - Prefilling your workspace data..." and never
completes.
