Updating Hubspot fields from workflow

Develop, Build & Integrate CMS Development

We have a workflow that is copying contact properties to a custom object. Is there a way for the workflow to update either of the following Hubspot fields?

Created by user ID

Updated by user ID

Thanks,

Hi, @tmcmillan99 I did a quick search on both of these properties for the Contact object and my custom object —Boats. Both Created by user ID and Updated by user ID are set as read-only. There isn’t a way to override this behaviour for properties used by the system. It’s likely the answer you don’t want, and I don’t want to have you looking for an option that doesn’t exist.

Example from the Properties API endpoint — Read a property.

GET/crm/v3/properties/{objectType}/{propertyName}

Request:

curl --request GET \
 --url 'https://api.hubapi.com/crm/v3/properties/2-7913954/hs_updated_by_user_id?archived=false' \
 --header 'authorization: Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN'

Response:

HTTP 200

{
 "name": "hs_updated_by_user_id",
 "label": "Updated by user ID",
 "type": "number",
 "fieldType": "number",
 "description": "The user that last updated this object. This value is automatically set by HubSpot and may not be modified.",
 "groupName": "boat_information",
 "options": [],
 "displayOrder": -1,
