With the change of the propert Hubspot Owner to Contact OWner, I think we are also able to add additional owners to a contact (such as Company Owner). Is there a way to add a custom owner? I’d like to add WarrantyOwner so that the person managing our warranty accounts can easily filter her contacts. Is that possible?

Hi @DMurphy1

This change doesn’t really let you add additional owners to a contact, its just clarifying the way that ‘hubspot owner’ could apply to either contact, company or deal in the past, which was a bit confusing. More info on that here: [[Heads Up] We’re Changing the Name of the HubSpot Owner Property](https://www.hubspot.com/product-updates/heads-up-were-changing-the-name-of-the-hubspot-owner-property)

Now each object has a similarly named owner property.

This also doesn’t allow you create additional custom owners but you could use your own custom property for that - although it would support the same features as the built-in object owners like sending emails in their name or giving them notifications.

Hope this helps.
