We’re loving leads in hubspot. Issue came up though where we cannot easily identify and remove duplicate open leads from a contact record.

Would be great if hubspot product could roll out a quick fix for this. Even if it was simply:

-rollup properties including leads

-a safegaurd from having two simultaneous leads open on a contact.

-default property on contact of number of open leads (so we can build lists and clean)

This would be super helpful! Found this post from another similar topic: ["Number of associated lead" property - #5 by stassey - CRM - HubSpot Community](https://community.hubspot.com/t/number-of-associated-lead-property/138065/5)

It would be extremely valuable to have a default rollup property that counts the number of associated leads for a given contact/company. Currently, with the absence of this property I’m having to create multiple segment lists to ensure the rollup is correct across object records inplace of a Hubspot default ‘number of associated leads’ property
