Hello,

Was wondering if there was a way to create a contact property that is specific to a domain when entering in a new contact?

Example: XYZ company has multiple branches but the same domain. Is there a way to create a property dropdown specific for XYZ domain, to select the location the contact is associated with?

Hi @BThompson1

Although custom properties can be created, these apply to all records of the object type on which they are created.

I would probably recommend that you look at using the Parent Child relationships that are supported between company objects to display the difference/relationship between branches and a brand. You may need to turn off automatic company creation and association settings to prevent contacts all being automatically associated with the parent based on their email domain.

Hope this helps.
