For some reason, when using workflows to create deals when trying to add a phone number in a create deal action it only allows manually entered content and not via data tokens.  
Instead, I have to create an additional action to edit the record, which [only lets me do to ALL associated objects](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/HubSpot-Ideas/Workflow-Edit-Record-Associated-Object-Filters/idi-p/1252725#M225381), which isn’t clean in regards to any previous deals that may have been with an old number. I have another idea relevant to the association issue linked above.  
See screenshot of what I see on the create deal section for this property(showing no option to add via data token)

Then see this screenshot of how I can do it in a different edit record step.

Updating Media

This current process isn’t a clean solution as A) it requires additional steps/actions in workflows and B) it only allows this to be edited on all associated records and not certain ones.
