Lifecycle stage changes by HubSpot Calculation

[CRuan]

Hi,

I noticed that HubSpot is automatically changing the lifecycle stage, even after I manually set it. I do not know what is the creteria is based on to change the values. I'd rather just change the stages manually. Is there a way to prevent this from happening? It's causing issues with my reporting.

Thanks!

Hi Karsten, 

But my lifecycle stage was set backwards, which is not part of the setting. Here is the screenshot:

You can see that the lifecyle stage was MQL on Sept 4th and was set backwards on the 5th, I looked at the details, it says that it was updated by HubSpot calculation. This is how our lifecycle stage automation was set up:

Thanks!

@CRuan what exactly did you black out in the screenshot? HubSpot typically does not move records back in lifecycle stage, only forward.

Can you please share a screenshot of the property history, see my previous reply? https://knowledge.hubspot.com/records/view-record-property-history#view-historical-values-for-a-prop...

Hi Karsten,

I blacked out our sales reps info

Here is a screenshot of the property history:

I again black out our sales rep's info. 

Thanks!

@CRuan where exactly in your lifecycle stage logic does "Contact" sit?

[CRuan]

Its at the very beginning when a contact record is created. 

Here is the logic: Contact - MQL - Opportunity - Customer

Hi @CRuan,

Generally yes, can you share a screenshot of the property history for the lifecycle stage for this particular record? Is this a contact or company record?

Typically, either your deal or company settings can cause this:
