I be grateful for any feedback on whether something like this is possible. I have a limited understanding of javascript but think this may be doable. The end goal is to identify the original contact at a company.

There is a _First contact create date_ **company property** - could that be used through a custom coded workflow action to compare to the _Create date_ **contact property** that sets an new property called something like Original Contact to True when the values are equal to each other?

Thank you!
