Allow File as Field Type in Deal Property

[ClemOaky]

For the sake of proper Contract Management, I want to make sure that a Signed Contract is uploaded for each and every one of my (teams) deals. Currently, I can upload documents to deal, but can't filter on Deals without a file uploaded, and even if a file is uploaded, it might be an empty contract sent as attachment to my prospect.

What I need is a new Deal Property called "Signed Contract" and I need to be able to upload my signed contract documents (pdf) there. That way I can keep a great overview of which contract is missing and take the appropriate action.

I just asked about a similar issue, I cannot create a custom property in Deals with the field type: File. 

Would be really happy if HubSpot team added this!

Totally necessary - We use hubspot form for complaints and user regullary send images which need to be displayed in the deal (or atleast saved)

This has since been implemented

+1, this is very much needed!

Funny enough, today there is the option to create a File type property unde the Deals.

However, it seems that the only way to fill a File property is via a Form submission.

And the Deal properties are not supported in the HubSpot Forms.

All in all, I think the @hubspot team outdid itself on this one, releasing a virtually useless feature!

👋Hi all! I'm Rachel from the HubSpot Product team. It's been possible to create custom file properties for Deals for some time, so I'm going to close this out as Delivered. 

However, I wanted to provide a related update - 

We've delivered improvements to custom file properties in the CRM that are in beta as of today. These improvements will allow you to upload files to custom file properties, enabling use cases such as requiring files to be attached when a deal is created (for example). 

You can opt into the beta under Product Updates - "Improved file property experience in the CRM." Here's a quick demo of the functionality. 

Thanks for your feedback thus far! If you have feedback on this beta, please post them here: https://community.hubspot.com/t5/HubSpot-Ideas/File-field-type-should-function-independently-of-a-fo...

Hey @rwebb1,

This is a great improvement! Thanks for the update!

I already enrolled our account in the beta and from a first look it seems to be just what we needed.

Now are able to condition deal stage progression on file upload, which is great!

I will be sure to share any feedback! Thanks again!
