Hi @EGONZALOPALOM ,

To bulk-assign the "Primary" company label for contacts that are associated with only one company, you should use a multi-object import (Contacts & Companies) and include an Association Label column with the value set to "primary".

Just importing record IDs alone won't update the primary label; HubSpot requires the association label to be included explicitly.

Make sure your file includes:

• Contact ID or Email

• Company ID or Domain

• Association Label (set to “primary”)

Then import it as a Contacts & Companies file. That’ll update the association and mark the company as primary for each contact.

Here’s HubSpot’s guide if you need it: https://knowledge.hubspot.com/object-settings/create-and-use-association-labels
