Field Dependencies for Contact Properties

I would like to set up field dependencies for Contact Properties, to ensure that my Sales/Marketing team are updating contact details correctly.

 

For example, I would only want certain fields to be editable against a contact record if another field against the contact had a certain value.

 

Thanks!

Steve

HubSpot Updates
In Beta
September 14, 2023 08:21 AM

👋Hi all! I'm Rachel from the Product team. An update for you  - we are now in private beta for Conditional Property Logic, a feature that will enable you to set conditional logic for enumeration properties. This logic will be triggered when users make edits to properties across the CRM - specifically, in the ‘create record’ form, on the record page, and on the index page. If a property is required, users will not be able to save their changes until the required property has been filled. This feature is available for all Hubs, Professional+ subscription. 

 

Your Customer Success Manager can request access to this beta on your behalf. We plan to move this feature to public beta in the near future based on usage and customer feedback, at which point customers will be able to opt in themselves. Thank you all for your feedback!!

⚠️ UPDATE May 18, 2023: Thank you all for completing the application form! Registration for this study is now closed, as we have recruited the number of users needed for this study. We had a huge number of applications for a relatively small number of spots, and some specific internal criteria for who could take part. If you weren't able to help this round, please keep an eye out for future research studies!
 
Next, we'll conduct that research and use what we learn to build and adjust our proposed feature. Stay tuned for more updates!

Hi everyone! My name is Kyle and I’m a Product Designer at HubSpot. Good to meet you!
 
Some good news: after a really informative beta period, we're working on expanding on this new feature. With these new updates you'll be able to show and require properties related to a chosen option in another field, throughout the entire HubSpot CRM. To make this work, we're trying a more centralized location for managing this logic, which means some fairly big changes to how the feature works.

Based on what I’ve been reading here, I think this would solve many of your needs. But first, we have to test it to make sure it’s easy to use and understand. That’s where you come in.
 
Would any of you be interested in participating in a paid user research study, testing conditional logic settings? In order to ensure that this feature is effective and easy-to-use, we need to test it with you, our users. That will help us understand how well it works and meets your expectations.
 
Session details:
- Participants will be paid upon completion of the session
- Session will require no more than 60 minutes of your time.
- Session will consist of a recorded Zoom call where you’ll complete tasks using a prototype of this new feature
- You’ll be asked to provide honest feedback as you go
 
👉 Interested?  Please sign up using this Google form. If you qualify, we’ll email you to set up a time to talk. Registration for this research study is now closed. Stay tuned for more updates as we learn and build!
 
Once you’ve submitted the form:
If you qualify, you’ll receive an email within the next 48 hours with the subject, “Schedule a HubSpot UX Research Session”. Just pick a time and we'll do the rest. We’re looking forward to sharing this prototype with you and gathering your feedback.

Not Currently Planned

Hi all, Jeff from the CRM product team. This is a great idea. We will consider it for the future, but we're not working on it actively today.

Please keep the use cases input coming, we're reading every comment on this thread.

Hey HubSpot community, I'm Jeff from the CRM product team.

 

I realize implementing this wish has taken much longer than anticipated - much longer than we expected as well. We believe what we're focused on right now is higher priority. Rest assured this has not left our list, and Dylan and I continue to read every comment left on here. No timeline update on this functionality at this time, hope to be back someday soon with more details.

Hello HubSpot Community, 

Thank you as always for your continued feedback, it helps us build a great product.

We are constantly evaluating and re-evaluating our priorities and roadmap to deliver as much value to our customers as possible. Dependent properties are cetainly something we see a ton of value in. Based on the comments and use cases you all have listed, we are reviewing this request and its feasibility among other priorities on our roadmap. At this time I don’t have any details around timing or delivery, but thanks to the comments and votes on this post we’re actively looking into what it would take to solve this problem.

Hey HubSpot Community! Dylan from the HubSpot Product Team here.


I found this post via @ChrisHiggins ' awesome post on an INBOUND wishlist

Transparently, this isn't something you'll be seeing this year at INBOUND. However, I really appreciate all of the input and suggestions on this post thus far. "Dependent properties" as we call them, are firmly on our radar. However, we've identified a few higher-priority improvements to be made to properties before we get around to building dependent properties. 

In the coming weeks, you'll start to see a beta version of properties that will ideally set the stage for us to include "Dependent Properties" in the future. Stay tuned, this is certainly on our minds as well.

Yes dependent properties would be very helpful and are standard in other CRM's

Would be great to do this with the Lead Status property. For example, if a user's Lead Status is equal to Unqualified the sales representative should be forced to fill out a property explaining the reason why the user wasn't good.

...yes, exactly... this is what we do on Salesforce... Lead Status = Nurture means mandatory nurture reason, Disq means mandatory reason... and plenty more. This is the showstopper for me supporting using Hubspot CRM in our organization even though I am the "Hubspot guy". I know that withuot conditional fields data quality will collapse.

We should also have this feature in other types of records i.e. to have dependent Company and Deal properties.

JimHarris

I agree.

 

This is very much needed for all the reasons already listed. 

 

My immediate use is on tickets. If a ticket was marked as Complaint Resolution of Sales Concession, I want to then prompt how much was the sales concession. 

ricardocici

 Upvote for this!

 

We're having bigger problems specially with HubSpot Customer Success, because we can't categorize our Tickets and we can't get good reports.

 

Any other software (zendesk, freshdesk, desk) offers this.

Another upvote!

 

HS, please get this on.

honestly can't believe this doesn't exist. Completely thought I just didn't know how to do it. Desperate for this!

Surprised that it's been 18 months since initial query and this still doesn't exist. HubSpot please get on this, as creates multiple issues with erroneous data inputs and reporting output!

Can we at least get an update on this? 

agartner

Please, HubSpot! We need this! 

Apsia

It is really a need.

Apsia

An example for the devs :

I would like to add a "properties" field "Technical Account Manager" on a Company contact that shows ONLY if another field "Project Status" value is at "RUN". This could be a lot easier to customize each contacts.

michmyint

We need this desperately especially for a CRM for a business. Salesforce has it, can't understand why Hubspot doesn't. 

wiktorwarych

This kind of logis would be very helpful for us for Company, Contacts and Deal properties!

alexluong1
Participant

Agreed. Needs to be done as soon as possible...  it is frustrating as the only "workaround" is to send easily ignored notifs to sales reps who are dealing with 100's if not 1000's of notifs daily

COReilly

Still no update on this?

SimoneGatti

Please do it 

Bettinarf

I'd like to have two properties that are interdependant. Let's say that I selet from the dropdownlist of a property one item; then another property is going to depend on the selection of the first one. eg.: I select a partner A and the next property only shows up the products that partner A has. So both properties are related and the second one only shows information depending on th selection done within the first property.
