Is there a third-party app or a way (with zapier) to automate dropdown options from one object to another.

Let me give you an example.

Lets say i have Car Brands dropdown in Company Object and the same dropdown is available under deal object. And now if i had to add new brands in car brands dropdown i need to always remember and manually make the update on deal object car brands dropdown.

Any tips, tricks or apps/automation which allows to update this automatically?

Hi @Sidds,

Thank you for your inquiry.

After conducting research in various sources, I can confirm that it is currently not possible to perform this action automatically. However, I am unaware of any additional options via API or otherwise. Therefore, I would like to involve some of our experts in the conversation to see if they have any suggestions for you.

Hi [@Phil\_Vallender](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/74), @Jnix284, [@Shadab\_Khan,](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/513582) Do you have any advice to accomplish @Sidds objective?

Thank you!

Best,

Diana

Thanks @DianaGomez & Hi @Sidds,

Yeah, this is a big pain point:

- This could be achieved via HubSpot [Properties APIs](https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/api/crm/properties) with an external platform
- You can set-up an iPaas/webapp/web service to:
  - GET the values of desired properties from one object
  - and then PATCH(update) the values of another object.

Personally doing this would be too much of programmatic work, I would rather keep a data dictionary and just remember to update the changes made.

However, I think you should drop this in [Ideas Forum](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/HubSpot-Ideas/idb-p/HubSpot_Ideas)

Stay Awesome & Keep Doing it BIG 🔥
