Hi All! With regards to the above there is a pretty good workaround which allows for this to work.
If you have access to the “Workflows” tool you can create a contact workflow. This would be used to copy the Company Property “Name” to the Contact Property “Company Name”. To do this you can enroll by “Create Date is Known” or “Company Name is Unknown”. You can copy the Company Property Name to Targeted Contact Property “Company Name”.
This would carry the Associated Companies name over to the Contact’s Company Name Property. Why this is a valuable alternative is because the Company Name property can be sorted.
Thanks!
