Is there an API for adding a created property to the ‘about this contact’, or an API for adding a created property to default properties?

Hi @avyer,

I hope all is well with you 😄

Currently, there isn’t a way to add a created property to the about card via API. As for the default properties, these are properties that are created by HubSpot and so it cannot be created via API/within your portal. That said, you can [create custom contact properties](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/articles/kcs_article/contacts/how-can-i-create-a-custom-property).

Additonal articles on this:
