Company property - Show in forms

[hy]

Hello. I am creating a form. I would like to add a field asking for the prospect's Company. I would like the prospect to choose from a predefined list of companies that I imported and show in a dropdown. I looked at https://knowledge.hubspot.com/articles/kcs_article/forms/how-do-i-add-new-options-to-a-checkbox-or-d.... I tried going to company property settings but noticed there is no 'Show in forms' option the way there is for contact properties. Thoughts?

Hi @hy

As per https://knowledge.hubspot.com/forms-user-guide-v2/frequently-asked-questions its not currently possible to use company properties in forms, only contact properties. 

If you have Marketing Hub Pro, you can of course use a workflow to copy a contact property to a company. 

Hope this helps.

Thanks. Can you share how to copy contact properties to company properties using a workflow?

[Phil_Vallender]

Hi @jrl 

It's pretty simple. I just use 'Contact propery X is known' and 'Company property X' is unknown as my enrollment criteria and then use a copy action to copy the contents of a contact property into the the right company property. 

Hope this helps.

This question was raised over 1 year ago, but still seems like it is not an option. I wish to create a form, that a contact would complete, and it would up date Business Inteligence on the company record that the contact works for

I so wish we could add Company Properties to forms. I end up with all these duplicative properties at the Contact level b/c it's the only way to get the data...

If you want to ask leads for data on their company, you have to create a contact-level property to include it in the form.

But then, you really need it at the company level...and you always need the data to match...so you have to create the property at the company level and build workflows to sync the data.

We want to be able to enter company fields into forms too. It seems like a lot of duplication to have to copy this from the contact to the company.

totally agree, company fields in forms would be so useful and easier to work with

Hello @Alexrott 

I was able to find this post in the HubSpot Community Ideas forum. Upvoting here will alert our Product Team to the popularity of this request. Doing so will also auto-notify you if/when this functionality becomes available within HubSpot. You may read more about how that review process works here. The idea is currently in planning.🎉

Any update regarding this issue? Which would be the 'Estimated Time of Arrival' as the ships?

Many thanks!

Hi team, I have some good news to share here, we now have a new beta of the Forms app that includes the ability to add Company properties to your forms and collect/create company information via your externally embedded, or CMS embedded forms on HubSpot. 

If you're interested in trying out this beta please submit your HubSpot Portal IDs here: https://forms.gle/BRW4qetFxshbC6rL9 and we'll add the beta to your portal within 1 business day. 

Please note: This beta doesn't currently include the ability to add Deal properties to HubSpot forms, we are evaluating ways to introduce support for Deals in the future.

Hi! Is there an update on this? 

It's such a crucial part of keeping a hygenic dataset while using forms!

I've registered my Portal ID to try this in beta but not heard anything back yet.

Thanks

Hi @FSimpson , I just resubmitted the form to add your account associated with your email, I would recommend checking with us back Tuesday if your beta is not added and I can investigate further.

Thank you

Pam
