Hi Community

Is there a way to create a property that is linked by conditional logic to another property.

i.e. I have a list of “general” issue, but I want the support team to be able to select sub issues when they select one of the entries for the general issue.

Thannks!

Hi [@sandrine\_OP](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/83282),

While that is an option in [HubSpot forms](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/articles/kcs_article/forms/use-dependent-form-fields), it isn’t possible when filling in properties on the contact record level within HubSpot.

Thanks,  
Jenny

Hi,

Is it safe to assume this isn’t available on the ticket object either?

Scenario: Category would be ‘How Do I?’, ‘Technical Issue’, ‘Billing Issue’ and then a custom property called ‘Sub-Category’ would be dependent on the Category field to a) become active for data entry and b) would dynamically allow values associated with the value selected in the Category property. This is pretty common in most ticketing systems and for most service organizations.

Thanks!

Hi @SteveMatlick,

Correct; the information would have to be associated with a form submission in order for the logic to be available.

Thank you,

Would be extremely useful for agents to have conditional formatting when manually filling in tickets not from a form. Following thread.

This is definitely something needed. CRM platforms such as Salesforce have such customisable fields that allow an admin/developer to capture data using conditional logic. It is really disappointing that hubspot does not have this

</div>

We are also looking for something like this - we want users to select a location, and for conditional logic to then show the user the only appropiate options within a property. For example, user selects location A from dropdown and then have option to select marketing source property with options 1, 2 or 3. But if they select location B, the marketing source can be 4, 5 or 6.

Conditional logic for companies and contacts would make segmentation easier. It is essential for targeted marketing. Make it simple for our users when creating new entries!

Agreed. Everything gets cluttered without it.

Hi @jphilbrook and other people in this thread,

This is not possible at this stage within HubSpot, I’d recommend upvoting [this Idea](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/HubSpot-Ideas/Field-Dependencies-for-Contact-Properties/idi-p/8942) in our [Ideas Forum](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/custom/page/page-id/ideaslandingpage) regarding this. You can also subscribe to the idea ( **Options \> Subscribe** ) to get notified if the status changes.

Thank you!

Best

Couldn’t agree more with these folks. This is not necessarily about the form fills that come from external contacts who aren’t working within HubSpot, this is really about fields for our HubSpot users. For example, we want our sales team to identify some information about the source of the deal. If it was from a call they made, then we want to know “who” made the call. Was it the sales person or another person inside our organization. Also, if we put “other” to have a box that appears to force getting more detail. This could help us see if something needs to be recategorized or if we need to add another selection option to the property.

Hi how is this for a work around? Non automatic but might help. Or maybe some of you have a suggestion that will auto assign properties once they comply certain. Conditions.  
Using contact views:  
In our case, participant has different forms of certified training. As long as it is lvl 2 or above we will consider it as “sufficient “ . Do I use filters with “any of “ and “or” of trainings and to those people I Assign “sufficient fire safety”. This is the part which would be great to auto update by its own.  
I can then do the same for “sufficient first aid”.  
And then the same for “sufficient food safety”.  
This would then allow us to say IF kitchen inducted and sufficient fire and sufficient first aid and sufficient food safety THEN assign access granted to industrial kitchen.  
Are we talking about the same thing? Sorry for the long example!

Huge gap. Every other platform I’ve worked with has this feature. I mean even Siebel had this back in the day. You really need this.

This would be great in a few aspect for myself. When creating a Sales Quote and with Service ticket root cause analysis(example -- Hardware --\> Device or Computer --\> if device the ask what component and so on.

100% something needed. For instance:

Lead Source:

If test need to input who referred

If Email, need to input which campaign

If Partner, need to input from which partner…

So so important
