It would be a great idea to have the capability to automatically assign the “company owner” as the person creating the company. I am noticing that some of my reps are adding their prospects but forgetting to assign themselves as the owner. Therefore, this is creating a problem for us because the admin gets assigned as the owner and has to go in there and switch it so the rep has access to their contact/company. It’s not hard to do, but can be annoying and time consuming.

Depending on what hub you have this should be possible already. When I create a deal/contact/company HbuSpot auto-assigns me as the owner unless I update that field while creating the record.

I woud love this feature too and HubSpot support have advised that this is not possible and within their current toolkit.

@AKlok, can you explain how you have that option. Is it some kind of workflow you have built?

I’m not sure if this also works when importing data rather than just a manual creation of a company.
