You can add or edit a property value from within an individual record. If you'd like to edit records' property values in bulk, learn how to edit from the object's home page, through an import, or using a workflow.

Please note: read-only properties (e.g., Create date, Original source) are set by HubSpot analytics or third-party integrations and cannot be manually edited.

Edit a property value on the object home page

You can edit a property value for a record directly in a view on the object home page.

  • Navigate to your records:
    • Contacts: In your HubSpot account, navigate to CRM > Contacts.
    • Companies: In your HubSpot account, navigate to CRM > Companies.
    • Deals: In your HubSpot account, navigate to CRM > Deals.
    • Tickets: In your HubSpot account, navigate to CRM > Tickets.
    • Custom objects: In your HubSpot account, navigate to CRM, then select the custom object.
  • In table view, click a property in the row of the record you want to edit. You can customize which properties appear as columns and freeze the first column so the record name remains visible while side scrolling..

  • Depending on the property's field type, select or type to edit a value for the property. You cannot edit a record's associations or the property shown in the left-most column.
  • You can continue to click and edit additional properties in the table.
  • Once you're done, click Save.

To update the same property for multiple records at a time, learn how to bulk edit records.

Edit property values on an individual record

  • Navigate to your records:
    • Contacts: In your HubSpot account, navigate to CRM > Contacts.
    • Companies: In your HubSpot account, navigate to CRM > Companies.
    • Deals: In your HubSpot account, navigate to CRM > Deals.
    • Tickets: In your HubSpot account, navigate to CRM > Tickets.
    • Custom objects: In your HubSpot account, navigate to CRM, then select the custom object.
  • Click the name of a record.
  • In the left panel, click a property to edit. Depending on the property type, edit the value, then click Save:
    • For a text or number property, enter your value in the text box.
    • For an enumeration or user property, select a value.
    • For a file property, click + Add file to add a file, or X to remove an existing file.

    • On the Manage properties page, search or browse for a property, then click the dropdown menu or text field to select or enter a property value.
    • In the bottom left, click Save.

If you're unable to save the new value, the property may require a unique value. If you don't see a property that matches the information you want to add to your record, you can create a custom property.
