Hello everyone,

Unfortunately workflows dont allow you to directly compare properties between different objects (Contacts and Companies for example), is there a workaround or solution to tackle this problem?

Hi @galvanA81,

Yes, the best way to do this currently, in my opinion would be:

1. Create a sync property to make the value on the contact record available on the company object (or vice versa) [Create sync properties that copy data to associated records](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/properties/create-sync-properties)
2. Create a calculation property, custom equation, with output boolean, and check whether the value of the sync property corresponds with the other property [Create calculation and rollup properties](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/properties/create-calculation-properties) (if value 1 equals value 2 output true, if not, false)

Let me know if you have any follow-up questions!
