I want to create a workflow that updates a text field on the deal object when an associated company is added. It doesn’t seem like this is possible so I’m trying to just trigger the workflow every time the opportunity is added. Does anyone have suggestions on either of these scenarios?
I’ve tried doing Deal Name is known and keeping enrollment on but it only enrolls when the Deal Name is changed.

Are you referring to multiple companies potentially being associated? (I assume so, otherwise the re-enrollment wouldn’t be required.)
This can be achieved by setting up a calculation property that counts how many companies are associated to a deal (similar to the “Number of associated deals” property on the contact record) and using this as a re-enrollment trigger: Create calculation and rollup properties
The calculation property method would be “Count”.

Can you maybe rephrase your requirement? I’m not sure I’m following. You want to update a text field on a deal when a new deal is edited? Would this be a deal associated to the deal (same object association)?
Thanks for your help. What I’m trying to do is copy Associated Company Names to text fields based on their Labels. There can be multiple company associations. I’ve already figured one way of mapping it based on label in the set property value action but I need to be able to trigger it to know when an associated company has been added. I created a count but its making me specify “is greater than” etc. rather than a “has changed” sort of trigger. What do you suggest there?
haha I get that - when I was writing it, this was end of day and I’d exhausted all of my solutions.
We have two companies associated to one deal. One is labeled buyer one is labeled seller. Because of the way Hubspots reporting is lacking in reporting on deals with multiple company associations (it shows two line items instead of multiple columns) I want to copy the associated company company name to a text field on the deal page. I’m trying to find a way to trigger the system to know that a company has been associated so that it can copy that info.
