Hi all,

I have been using the PHP Client library for some time now and it all works like a charm, however, for very specific reasons I need to be able to change a setting within Hubspot.

The setting I would like th change using PHP Client Library is:  
Settings \> Data Management \> Objects \> Companies  
Boolean → “Create and associate companies with contacts”

My integration imports companies and contacts from a different application but sometimes I want this setting to be on and other times i want this setting to be off.

Is there any way to change this using the PHP Client Library?

Many thanks in advance 🙂

Hey @LOpdebeke,

Unforunately there is no way to do this using the HubSpot APIs at present. A user must manually enable or disable the setting.
