is lacking the ability to connect them with a certain object? Hi Folks, I am trying to build a workflow where the list-membership of a company is the trigger, followed by an automated task creation on that newly-to-the-list-added-company. The task description is always the same, due dates are the same everything stays the same. For the workflow it is crucial to connect a certain contact (not a user) to this task which always stays the same. Problem is: it’s not possible for me. Soemthign that is completely normal in manual task creation is not available in workflows? I can connect the contact with “contact with primary company” or “all contacts” as shown in the picture. ![Bildschirmfoto 2024-11-14 um 11.31.33.png](https://d2qpr2jzcazej7.cloudfront.net/original/3X/f/f/ffc1e950e6d90658a69353cdc0699f7970c7869c.png) What I actually want to achieve is this: connecting the task with a certain object, as shown in the picture (done here with manual task creation) ![Bildschirmfoto 2024-11-14 um 11.34.31.png](https://d2qpr2jzcazej7.cloudfront.net/original/3X/7/b/7b3ced91e0b171bcce46ffbc870d743a904b8ad1.png) Who can help with that? Am I blind or do I have to work myself around that? ---

Hi [@RLöser](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/845738), This is currently not possible – at least not without custom code ord third-party automation. Workflows always reference the enrolled record and records associated to that record. There aren’t any actions I know of where you can specify the association to a specific ‘static’ record. As of now, you would have to approach this with custom code actions (available in Operations Hub Professional or Enterprise). You can also request this to be a feature out of the box by submitting a post to the HubSpot Ideas section of the community: [https://community.hubspot.com/t5/HubSpot-Ideas/idb-p/HubSpot\_Ideas](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/HubSpot-Ideas/idb-p/HubSpot_Ideas) If you want a native solution without coding, the only option I can think of is associating this one contact record with all companies in your system and applying an association label – so that you can reference in your task creation action.

Hi Karsten, thank you for the quick reply. I thought about that native solution as well but have to check the implications of that. This “association label” is basically just a custom field I have to create upfront, isn’t it? ---

[@RLöser](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/845738) no, labels are not properties, see here: [Create and use association labels](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/object-settings/create-and-use-association-labels)
