Please add a way to bulk edit associated company. It is very frustrating to not have this functionality. ---

I agree! We need a way to bulk edit associations when needed. ---

Was just talking to the support team about this. We have set up a routine process for updating contact information in our CRM (30k) contacts) and its a real shame that the associated company field doenst get automatically updated when a new email is imported or manually added in the CRM. ---

Hey @JKincaid Late on the reply here. Just to make sure I understand, you want to be able to edit (or remove?) associations that are already in place? Are these associations in error, or has their situation just changed (like a merger) and require an update. Doing this by hand is definitely tiresome. Going into each record manually and setting them is super time-consuming and building any kind of workflow to deal with this ends up being more complicated than it appear son the surface. Full disclosure, I work for [Insycle](https://app.hubspot.com/ecosystem/6303986/marketplace/apps/marketing/data-management/insycle), but I think it might be able to help with the issues mentioned in this thread. - Identify and match free-floating, unassociated contacts in your HubSpot database using any data field in your CRM - Associate child companies to parent companies in bulk - Make associations with labels in bulk - Remove associations in bulk using set rules - Automatically associate records during import - Automate associations to happen on a set schedule, or integrate with HubSpot Workflows Hope that is helpful! Thanks, Ryan ---

Hi @JKincaid @RBozeman @JAlonso1 @DDecker Would you be willing to upvote this idea of adding association labels to objects using automation rather than manually? [https://community.hubspot.com/t5/HubSpot-Ideas/Set-Association-Labels-On-Records-via-a-Workflow/idi-p/580501](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/HubSpot-Ideas/Set-Association-Labels-On-Records-via-a-Workflow/idi-p/580501) I’d love to get as much traction as possible on this idea as it seems to be a real issue for clients to update associations manually and it looks like that’s what this idea is asking for as well. ---

Bumping this one up hopefully. Being able to bulk add associations via import but not being able to bulk edit/bulk remove feels like an oversight ---

Hi, I’m Lily, the PM for HubSpot’s Index Page. We support bulk editing of associated objects via the [Inline Association table](https://app.hubspot.com/l/product-updates/?rollout=284921) and bulk editing of associations themselves via the [Bulk association viewer](https://app.hubspot.com/l/product-updates/?rollout=251885). We could not have built this feature without your help. Thank you all for taking the time to submit, vote and comment on this Idea. Best, Lily
