Hi there,

As you can see on the following screenshot, I’m trying to make an import to bulk change some contacts, but the Record ID is not recognized:

I don’t understand how it’s possible, since I called the column “Record ID” as it is asked in the documentation: [Deduplicate records in HubSpot](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/crm-setup/deduplication-of-contacts-companies-deals-tickets)

Thanks,

Hi @RSaillant,

You should be able to map the _Record ID_ unter the _Import as_ \> _Contact properties_ dropdown. It’s the second option in the first dropdown of your screenshot.

Best regards!

Question: Is it possible to reset the record id number to start at single digits as opposed to 7 digits?
