Create a custom property
- In your HubSpot account, click the settings icon in the top navigation bar.
- In the left sidebar, go to Data Management > Properties.
- In the top right, click Create property.
- In the right panel, configure your property:

- If the field type includes options (e.g., dropdown, radio select, multiple checkboxes), add your values:
- Enter a Label for each option.
- Use Add an option to include more values.
- Use Load options to add options in bulk or copy from another property.
- Use Clear all to remove all options if needed.
- By default, the property will be available in forms. If you don’t want this, clear the Show in forms checkbox.
