Overview
Field2Base organizes work around form templates and submitted form instances — regions map to form fields, submissions become data records, and workflow approval chains govern process routing. Twenty CRM uses People, Companies, Opportunities, Notes, and Tasks as its primary objects, with custom objects for domain-specific data that doesn't fit the standard model. The migration challenge is translating Field2Base's form-template architecture into Twenty's object-and-field schema while handling region types that have no direct Twenty equivalent (GPS coordinates, barcode scans, photo attachments). We migrate form submissions as custom object records, field values as custom fields, and submitted-at/assigned-user timestamps as metadata. Workflows, approval chains, and notification rules do not transfer — we provide a JSON export of your Field2Base workflow definitions for manual rebuild in Twenty's workflow builder. Integration configurations (DIM connections, EDM dispatch mappings) must be re-established against Twenty's REST and GraphQL API after migration.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Field2Base object lands in Twenty CRM, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.
Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.
Field2Base
Form Template
Twenty CRM
Custom Object
1:1Each Field2Base form template becomes a Twenty custom object. The form's region definitions map to custom fields on that object. Region types (text, numeric, dropdown, checkbox, camera, signature) map to Twenty field types (text, number, select, boolean, file, file) respectively. Form template name becomes the custom object label and API name.
Field2Base
Form Submission
Twenty CRM
Custom Object Record
1:1Submitted form instances map to records in their corresponding Twenty custom object. The submission's primary key ID is preserved as Source_System_ID__c on the Twenty record. Submitted-at timestamp is stored as a custom datetime field for reporting continuity.
Field2Base
Region (text, numeric, date)
Twenty CRM
Custom Field (text, number, date)
1:1Standard Field2Base region types (single-line text, multi-line text, numeric, date) map directly to Twenty's equivalent field types. Field validation rules (required, min/max) are translated into Twenty's field-level constraints at the data model stage.
Field2Base
Region (dropdown, multi-select)
Twenty CRM
Custom Field (select, multi-select)
1:1Pick-list values in Field2Base dropdown regions map to Twenty select-field options. Each dropdown option is recreated as a Twenty select option. If Field2Base supports dynamic option lists, those are flagged as requiring manual configuration in Twenty after migration.
Field2Base
Region (signature)
Twenty CRM
Custom Field (file)
1:1Signature fields store an image or PDF blob in Field2Base. These are exported as file attachments and re-uploaded to Twenty as file-type fields. The original submission timestamp is preserved as metadata on the file record.
Field2Base
Region (photo, camera)
Twenty CRM
Custom Field (file)
1:1Photo and camera regions attach image files. These migrate as Twenty file fields linked to the custom object record. Inline images embedded in submissions are extracted and re-hosted as separate file attachments.
Field2Base
Region (GPS, location)
Twenty CRM
Custom Field (text)
1:1Field2Base GPS regions store latitude/longitude coordinates. Twenty has no native geolocation field type. We store coordinates as a formatted text field (e.g., '40.7128° N, 74.0060° W') or split into two number fields for latitude and longitude. A map integration may require separate rebuild.
Field2Base
Region (barcode, QR)
Twenty CRM
Custom Field (text)
1:1Barcode and QR code scan values store as text strings. These migrate as text fields in Twenty. If you use barcode scanning as a lookup trigger, the integration logic must be rebuilt via Twenty's webhook or API workflow.
Field2Base
Submitted User / Assigned User
Twenty CRM
Workspace Member
1:1Field2Base user accounts are matched to Twenty Workspace Members by email address. Unmatched users are flagged before migration. The assignee relationship on form submissions becomes a relation field to the Twenty Member object on the custom object record.
Field2Base
Workflow / Approval Chain
Twenty CRM
Workflow (manual rebuild)
1:1Field2Base workflows (submitted forms → review → approve/reject) have no direct equivalent in Twenty's workflow builder. We export your workflow definitions as a structured JSON reference document. Your Twenty admin rebuilds the logic using Twenty's workflow triggers and conditions based on that reference.
Field2Base
DIM / EDM Integration
Twenty CRM
Twenty REST/GraphQL API Connection
1:1Field2Base's Data Integration Module (CSV, ODBC, SQL exports) and Enterprise Dispatch Module (back-end field population) cannot be migrated. We document the DIM export configurations and EDM field mappings so your developer can re-implement equivalent connections using Twenty's API or webhook triggers.
Field2Base
Form Template Category / Folder
Twenty CRM
Custom Object (grouping)
1:1If Field2Base organizes form templates into categories or folders, we add a custom select field on the target custom object to carry that organizational tag. Twenty's object model doesn't have native folder hierarchies — grouping is handled via views and filters rather than folder structures.
Field2Base
Kiosk Mode Submission
Twenty CRM
Custom Object Record
1:1Submissions created via Field2Base Kiosk Mode are standard form submissions with no additional fields. They migrate as regular custom object records. The kiosk-context flag (if stored as a region value) is preserved as a select field option.
Field2Base
Admin Portal / User Role
Twenty CRM
Workspace Member Role
1:1Field2Base role-based permissions (admin, form designer, mobile user) are documented in the migration plan. Twenty's role system is permission-set based — your admin configures access levels in Settings → Roles. Permissions must be manually mapped post-migration.

Gotchas + challenges
Platform-specific issues from each side, plus the pair-specific challenges that don't show up on either platform's page on its own.
Field2Base gotchas
Offline draft data loss risk at migration cutover
Integration capabilities are tier-gated
API rate limits not publicly documented
Custom Regions require manual field mapping
Submitted form versioning not tracked in exports
Twenty CRM gotchas
Import order is enforced and critical
Export limited to 20,000 records and visible columns only
Soft-deleted records count toward uniqueness and trigger restores
API rate limits cap at 200 req/min on Organization tier
No native email sequences — follow-up cadences require external tools
Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Audit Field2Base form templates and region definitions
We extract your complete Field2Base form template inventory including every region definition, region type, validation rule, and dropdown option. We catalog workflow configurations and approval chain structures separately. This audit generates the target schema specification: which custom objects to create in Twenty, which field types to use, and which fields require non-direct mapping. The schema specification is delivered as a setup checklist before any data moves.
Create Twenty custom objects and fields per schema specification
Before migration begins, you (or our team) create the custom objects and fields in Twenty's Settings → Data Model based on the schema specification. Each Field2Base region type is mapped to a Twenty field type. GPS regions create two number fields. Dropdown regions get the full list of options pre-loaded. This step must complete before Step 3 runs — CSV imports fail if target fields don't exist.
Invite all Field2Base users to Twenty and resolve by email
Twenty requires Workspace Members to exist for user-resolution. We extract all Field2Base user emails from submission records and cross-reference them against your target Twenty workspace. Unmatched users are flagged for manual invitation. This step runs in parallel with schema setup. Migration records with unresolved owner emails get a null relation field — you can remap after users accept their invitations.
Run sample migration with field-level diff
A representative slice of form submissions (typically 100–500 records spanning multiple form templates) migrates first. We generate a field-level diff comparing source Field2Base values against the migrated Twenty record fields. You verify GPS coordinate formatting, dropdown value mapping, file attachment integrity, and user resolution before the full run commits. Sample migration catches field type mismatches and option list gaps before they affect your entire dataset.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup window
Full migration runs against Twenty using the validated mapping. A delta-pickup window (typically 24–48 hours) captures any new submissions created in Field2Base during the cutover period so your Twenty workspace reflects Field2Base's final state at go-live. We deliver an audit log of every record operation and a reconciliation report showing record counts by object, missing relation flags, and unhandled region types.
