Hi Guys,

Hoping someone can help on this one.

We’ve updated several of our Subscription Types i.e. archived “old” ones and created new ones.

When I go to a specific contact page however, the Associated Subscription Type still shows/references the “old” one? I cannot seem to have this field update to show the newly created/assigned ones.

Regards

Hi @MNg2

Could you share some more specifics, i.e. which subscription types did you archive, which new ones did you create and maybe include a screenshot if the contact record.

Generally speaking, you will always see old/archived subscription types on a contact record. This is due to privacy regulations, and it’s also why you can only archive and not delete subscription types - the system keeps a record of what existed in the past.

Did you re-assign subscription types from the old to the newly created?

Plainly speaking each subscription type is a seperate “object”, so unless you tell the system - either [via bulk edit](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/contacts/manage-your-subscription-preferences-and-types#update-subscriptions-in-bulk-from-the-contacts-index-page) or [a workflow](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/contacts/manage-your-subscription-preferences-and-types#update-the-subscription-status-of-contacts-with-a-workflow) - to turn the archived subscription type A into the new subscription type B, nothing will change.

Hope that helps.
