Hi,

We create a custom property for Line Item object via the API Endpoint.

How can we update for example the property name? We can’t access it in the UI.

Thanks! :slightly_smiling_face:

Hi @OBetzalel, I hope that you are well!
I understand that you created a custom line item property via API but you’d like to edit it via the UI. Please let me know if that’s not the case.
I never created myself a property via API but I know that from the UI, you are able to edit product properties.
Do you find the line item properties under the product properties, please?
I’d like to invite some of our Top Experts to this discussion: Hi @GreyHamilton, @beeginman and @OPerek-Clark are you able to edit custom line items properties from the UI directly within HubSpot, please?
Thanks a lot and have a wonderful day!
Best,
Bérangère

Hi @OBetzalel :waving_hand:

As far as I’m aware, custom Line Item properties must be managed by API -- they cannot be edited in HubSpot’s web/app UI.

It’s worth noting that once a custom property is created, it’s internal “name” (i.e. the property name you reference in API calls) cannot be changed. However, you can update other property attributes/metadata via API (e.g. label). In order to do this, you’ll want to call the “Update a property” endpoint, available within the “Endpoints” tab on the HubSpot Properties API page. For example:

PATCH https://api.hubapi.com/crm/v3/properties/LINE_ITEM/example_custom_property

Request JSON body

{
 "groupName": "lineiteminformation",
 "label": "Example Property -- Updated Label",
 "type": "string",
 "fieldType": "text",
 "formField": true,
 "hasUniqueValue": false,
 "hidden": false
}

I hope this proves helpful. Please let me know if you have any follow-up questions.
