Is it possible to update a dropdown field in Hubspot? And if yes, can I do it without erasing the current contents in the field?

Yes, it's possible to update a dropdown field in HubSpot without erasing the current contents. When updating an object in HubSpot through Clay, you can use the "Ignore Blank Values" option. Here's how: 1. Select the HubSpot account you want to use. 2. Choose the "Update Object" action. 3. Specify the object type (e.g., Contact, Company). 4. Enter the HubSpot Object ID. 5. Set "Ignore Blank Values" to True. 6. Map the fields you want to update, including the dropdown field. This way, blank values from Clay won't overwrite existing values in HubSpot, preserving the current contents of the dropdown field.
