So to start, I am loving the new record source property, however, there is no way to manually update this field, which normally there wouldn't be, except for a few instances. One of them being.. We have some clients where we implemented a system that populated a custom property for Lead Creation Attribution before record source was a thing. We have a list using that property to filter a lot of reports. The issue is, with the new record source property, we no longer need that property and is now redundant. But because we can't manually populate the Record Source values for anything that didn't get populated in the Hubspot backfill, we now have thousands of contacts with no record source and no way for us to manually update that information when we do have the data needed to update it. We are doing a CRM audit and removing properties that are no longer nessecary but because the backfill only went back so far, we can't populate the missing Record Source information meaning we now need to keep our custom property for reporting purposes, even though at this point it is kind of redundant.
