Identify who created custom view in dashboard

We would like to be able (as super admins) to see who created each view under "created by others" in the contact "veiw all filters" section.

Yes, this is a feature we need as well (for ourselves and our customers).

Agree with this idea! This would be a helpful feature to keep organized

This would be extremely useful as some of our users typically name things in a similar fashion and forget to mark them private which causes confusion for others when searching views.

Very much needed, as admins we need to be able to change property field types on the fly and this is a large roadblock.

This is a must have

As an admin, it is my responsibility to keep our HubSpot instance as clean as possible. Knowing who created a custom view will aid me in eliminating duplicate views that will clutter our instance in addition to helping me identify who may need additional training/support.

I agree that this would be extremely useful. 1, because we usually try to train people to keep their views private so it doesn't clutter. And 2, because we often find views that could use a little work, but can't find thh person needing help.

This would be really needed. We do not even see if people who left the company created this view or someone who is still within the company.

Yes, this is a big deal. We need to be able to identify authors to begin a conversation.

Agreed, currently customer would need all members to check their contact views individually to find who created which view. This does get in the way when they need to archieve certain properties but those properties are used in views of unknown owners

Being able to see who created a view (I think this should be visible to all users not just super admins) would be really handy for us. I'm mid-way through migrating and trying to archive some properties for deals, and I can only do 50% of the clean-up, as I can't actually archive any properties which are used in Custom Views as columns. Also, the views seem quite random and old - being able to see the author would be incredibly helpful. I will say that it's brilliant that Hubspot does show and categorise where the properties are in use which not all systems can do.

Agreed, having this function would help a lot.

Very needed for admins. Our example is that we would like to consolidate fields and delete one, but the field we want to delete is used in many views, and we have no clue who owns those views.

That would be very helpful. Especially when you want to change properties but can't because they are used in some views. But who created it to inform them?

YES!

As others have stated, "View" with properties lock deleting those properties. In my case, I replaced some current properties that required manual updates to a "Hubspot User" type, but now that I want to delete the old (no longer used) properties I cannot because they are used in some user-views. 

This is fine, except I cannot identify whose views they are to contact them and ask them to make the needed updates.

Please add this functionality.
