Hello everyone,

It would be extremely helpful if HubSpot could support **optgroup (grouped options)** in dropdown menus and properties.

Today, when we want to structure options, we often have to prefix values manually, like:

- Cat 1: Menu 1
- Cat 1: Menu 2
- Cat 2: Menu A
- Cat 2: Menu B
- Cat 2: Menu C
- Cat 3: Menu AA

This approach works, but it quickly becomes hard to read, maintain, and scale—especially with large datasets or multilingual environments.

**What would improve the experience:**

- Ability to create **grouped sections (optgroups)** inside dropdowns
- Clear visual separation between categories
- Easier maintenance (no need to repeat category names in every option)
- Better UX for end users (cleaner, faster selection)

**Example (ideal structure):**

**Cat 1**

- Menu 1
- Menu 2

**Cat 2**

- Menu A
- Menu B
- Menu C

**Cat 3**

- Menu AA

This would significantly improve data organization and usability, especially for teams managing complex properties.

Thanks for considering this improvement!
