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

👋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.

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.

This would be extremely valuable.  Any recent ETA on this functionality?

Could this be extended to all properties? Specifically, Ticket Properties as well rather than just Contacts & Companies?

 

Thank you!

@shajones  Any update on this feature?

This would be very helpful for us...

Crazy that this "idea" has been submitted in 2017, and a SaaS does not implement a basic feature like this for five years. Other CRMs with less cost have it.

Having field depencies on Deal Line Items would also be incredibly helpful. It will allow for much more flexibility for our team who has multiple products to sell that require different information to execute.

Had a meeting with Product team about this yesterday (PM and Designer), so
they are on it. No indication of timeframe for beta or wider release, still
seemed quite preliminary unfortunately.

Would love to see this implemented! Specifically, we'd use this in deal properties, where it would only show certain properties based on selections for the type of deal they're working. For example, we have some software subscriptions that would have ARR / deal terms attached, and other deals that would just be one-time project fees. Our Sales people get confused when they see a list of fields that aren't applicable to them, and being able to only show what they need would be SO helpful for adoption.

Any updates on this? This is extremly important for HubSpot users. I see so many use cases for this and Enterprise customers can't live without this feature. 

 

One of many is that companies have a dropdown for closed won/lost reason (Tracking reasons for winning/losing deals). Text is good to have but analytics wise quite impossible to follow. So having an option in a dropdown that states ''Other'' and when chosen the user would have to write the reason. 

 

For global companies this is a must have feature simply for segmenting their customers based on country/region. 

 

Really hope to hear some news regarding this soon.

Hi @jschmid !

 

It is great to hear that you are working on it and hope we do not need to wait to much to have it online. It would be important to have this feature not only for contact properties, but for all subjects (tickets and deals). I believe the use case is valid for all subjects.

 

Thank you in advance,

Victor

This would be VERY helpful for us! 

We have a "Contact Type" field with options for Prospect, Client, Industry Contact, etc, where Industry Contact is essentially a referral partner. We would like to have a dependant field for "industry type", i.e.: Broker, Attorney, Staffing, Consultant, Other, that is required and preferably automated when "Industry Contact" is selected. This will enable us to create lists we can use for sales or marketing campaigns with specific messaging that is targeted by the referral partner's industry.
