Drop-down / enumerate for text fields

I've built an integration for our content viewer that sends a View event to hubspot for each time the content is viewed.

 

The View event has a "name" field that has the name of the conent.

When the user is setting up workflows, etc. they need to enter the name of the content manually to set triggers/filters. Our Hubspot onboarding specialist had said that some other integrations have drop-downs available for selecting content.

 

I'm guessing this is done via the enumeration type instead of the text field, but then aren't enumerations common across all installations of the application? For example how would I limit customer #1 with the app from seeing all the content of customer #2 if using the enumeration type?

 

So maybe it's not done using enumeration. How is this done?

Drop-down / enumerate for text fields

Hey @wp-chris ,

 

You're correct that enumeration properties are shared accross all accounts; it's not currently possible to create account-specific timeline event properties. I believe this might be a custom functionality unique to a HubSpot-built integration that isn't possible via the public API.

 

That said, I can totally see the use case here. If you haven't done so already, I'd strongly recommend checking out the HubSpot Ideas Forum and creating an idea for this (if there isn't one).
