Filter by property equal to another property

It would be great if we had a filter for lists or a workflow enrollment trigger that allowed contacts to enroll if they had a property that is equal to another property. For example if email = alternative email, it would be helpful for tagging/locating duplicates. Right now we have to use matching keywords or characters among properties for this to work.

Agree, I also asked the same thing from HubSpot support and as of now, they don't have a feature to check whether property A = property B for workflow enrollment triggers 😕

The current workaround for this involves having multiple branches within the workflow to individually check if Property A matches Property B, which can get really complex when dealing with multiple values.

Running into this issue now. 

 

Specifically, our situation is I need to make a list where "Property A is greater than Property B" OR "Property A is equal to Property B". These are date picker properties. Basically I want the "newest" date. I can do this with the "greater than" list filter, but if the dates are equal they don't show up on the list even if the values are known.

Hello, 
I need the same thing for an urgent project. 
Hope HubSpot can answer our request. 
Thank you

Yes, I would like to be able to compare two properties. In our case, it's the date of the deal's completion and the date when the deal was moved to the corresponding "Sold" deal phase. Only then can I determine if an error occurred or if someone moved the deal belated. This is crucial for tracking.

The scenario I have for requiring this is to be able to create a filter on a report so I can see any objects that aren't aligned with associated objects on the equivalent property.

 

For example, we have the "Country" and "State" properties on both contacts and companies and I want to be able to see when a contact is associated with a company where the country and/or state is different on the two objects e.g. the contact is in Australia but the company is in New Zealand.

This is important as it enables us to identify contacts that may have moved companies and where our records are out of date.

Adding to this here - 
I'd like to compare two properties and have two branches -
one if Property A is greater than Property B, and another if Property A is less than Property B

This is absolutely essential - this would make Workflows that check for duplicate properties a breeze & is AN ABSOLUTE MUST!

Same usecase as @MPenfold ! We need this to check on our data.

My company would also profit from this solution implemented!

Glad to see that this thread has been recently active, despite being first introduced in 2021.

 

I'm here to step in to the line of people desperately waiting for this feature.

 

In my current case I would've needed to compare the contact's message field to the most recent deal's description to see if they match. This is of course to try and overcome the issue where the workflow gets triggered whenever a user submits a specific form, but somehow manages to submit it twice (user and/or client error, usually).

 

Right now I can't figure out a way to filter out submissions with identical content from triggering the workflow, which in the end leads to duplicate deals.

This is absolutely an urgent feature that is needed for any standard CRM!! Would be super useful in creating and updated deals who are associated to contacts, when multiple deals might exist for one contact.

Two and a half year later we are still waiting.

Same here. We need to compare two date properties. It would be great to compare like this:

Property_A equal to Property_B

Property_A greater than Property_B

Property_A greater than or equal Property_B

Property_A lower than Property_B

Property_A lower than or equal Property_B

Property_A between Property_B and Property_C

Still interested in this, think it's critical for filtering and workflow enrolment, if/then branches

Hi Team:

Comparing two properties is so important.

We have a use case, if SDR rep is not a member of SDR Team, then reassign the lead to SDR rep.
