Why Industry Field Stays with Contact in Zendesk

Understand why the Industry field doesn't transfer to deals in Zendesk and how to manage it.

Why doesn't the Industry field transfer from a contact to a deal in Zendesk?

The Industry field doesn't transfer from a contact to a deal in Zendesk because it is designed to stay with the contact. This setup requires users to create a custom field if they want the Industry information at the deal level.

This separation ensures that contact-specific information remains with the contact, while deals can be customized with relevant fields as needed. By creating a custom field for Industry on the deal level, you can ensure that this information is available where you need it most. For more information on custom fields, refer to the article onCreating and managing custom fields in Sell.
