Hi Team,

I’m looking to get a feature for static and non static lists implemnted. Can we have a restore contacts to list or restore list to previous version. I just accidentally deleted some contacts from a huge static list and Itd be nice if I didnt have to scower my entire hubspot just to add them back to the list.

Very good idea that I fully support. The same thing occured to me last week.

It cost me a whole morning of work sifting through my lists to create a bespoke list. That feature would be a lifesaver to anyone who makes this simple mistake.

Accidentally few lists got deleted and sad to know that there is no restore option for both static and active lists. It would be great if Hubspot can include this feature in next release.

Yes, yes, and a thousand times YES! That would be a great feature to recover past list associations and be able to push all those contacts into a new list.

We still need the restore feature for deleted lists, Hubspot. This would be great!

</div>

Yes! This ‘undo’ function you write of would have helped me out very much. I don’t think I can even find the contacts that were in that list and paying heavily for such a simple mistake is not the best for morale

</div>

Agree! we just had all of the contacts from a list deleted with no option but to recreate the list and once again have everyone go through the list and remove people who should not be on it. This would be a tremendous time saver!

This wasn’t exactly what I had in mind, but I think it is a great idea, and would solve the problem I ran into this week as well.

A collegue deleted quite a few records earlier this week, and I need to restore them.

I was thinking it’d be great if I could assign a tag to the restored contacts, with something like “Restored followed by the Restored Date” so I could view them and review them as active contacts and decide what to do with them. If they could be restored to their own list that would create the same opportunity to segment the Recently restored contacts by the date restored.  
Let’s do it! This suggestion was originally created in 2019. Now that Ai can help you write the code, let’s get it done already 😉  
Thank you!

How about adding a ‘restored date’ property so that we can at least call up all the contacts that were just restored instead of disbursing them mysterioulsy into the the pool of active contact records. I’ve copied the names of every contact restored from a specific date that were mistakenly deleted by one of my colleagues, and now I’m having to call them up one by one. There has to be a better way to handle this.

This feature still needs to be added!!

Within List membership options, it would be great to have a filter option to see who “has ever been a member of list”
