WHAT'S IN THE BOX
Three steps from messy text to a governed HubSpot dropdown
SCAN
Discover what's actually in your data
Reads your existing text property on Contacts, Companies, Deals, or Tickets and surfaces every distinct value with its record count. Smart normalisation collapses 'Calif.', 'CALIF', and 'calif' into one option so you don't have to merge variants by hand.
Why dropdowns beat free-text for governance → CURATEHuman-in-the-loop review
Remove typos and one-off junk, add values that should exist but aren't in the data yet, reorder so the dropdown reads how your team thinks. The list you end up with is the list HubSpot gets - no auto-tagging surprises.
See it on a real country field → CREATEShip a fresh dropdown property
Writes a brand new enumeration property prefixed dd_ under the daeda_tech_dynamic_dropdowns group. Original text field stays untouched. Refresh from source any time to pick up new values, or enable auto-sync to do it for you.

What free-text properties cost you a year in
Free-text fields feel flexible the day you create them. Twelve months later you've got the same value stored fifteen ways, and every workflow, list, and report that touches the property is silently broken. Dropdowns fix it - but only if the option list reflects what's actually in your data, not what someone guessed at setup time.
- Workflow branches miss enrollments because filters check for one spelling and the data has six
- Reports show 'United Kingdom', 'UK', 'U.K.', and 'England' as separate buckets for the same country
- Sales reps invent new values every week and nobody notices until a quarterly review
- List building turns into a guessing game of OR conditions trying to catch every variant
- Exporting the field for an external tool produces unusable data without manual clean-up first
SCAN AND NORMALISE
Surface every real value, collapse the obvious variants
Dynamic Dropdowns scans your existing text property across every record on the source object and groups distinct values by record count. Smart normalisation collapses the boring stuff - case, whitespace, punctuation - so you don't sit there merging 'CALIF', 'Calif.', and 'calif' by hand. What you see is what your data actually contains, sorted by how often it shows up.
- Works against Contacts, Companies, Deals, and Tickets - source object can differ from the destination object
- Each value shows its record count so you can spot the long tail of one-off junk at a glance
- Normalisation handles case and punctuation; semantic merging stays in your hands during curation
- Re-run the scan any time to refresh what the source property looks like today
CURATE AND CREATE
Human-in-the-loop review, then ship a governed property
Once the scan finishes you decide what makes the dropdown. Drop typos, add values that should exist but don't yet, reorder so the list reads how your team thinks. The list you approve is the list HubSpot gets - shipped as a brand new enumeration property prefixed dd_ in a dedicated property group, with your original text field left alone.
- Edit, exclude, or add values before anything is written to HubSpot - no surprise auto-tagging
- New property lands under the daeda_tech_dynamic_dropdowns group so it never collides with native fields
- Original text property stays untouched, so you can backfill the dropdown gradually with a workflow
- Auto-sync keeps the dropdown current as new source values land, respecting the values you've excluded

A Game-Changer for Managing HubSpot Workflow Limitations
I discovered it while searching through community forums for a solution to limit the number of contacts added in workflow, basically to function like a drip. The Throttle action has been a lifesaver. It allows us to control how many workflows execute simultaneously, preventing errors and keeping everything running smoothly. Jack the creator of this app was very helpful and is always an email away and ready to get on a call if necessary, he also made relevant updates to the app that made sense for the long term based on our teams feedback.
What do you like?
Throttle Action: Solves rate-limit issues effortlessly by controlling workflow execution. Easy Integration: Works seamlessly with HubSpot workflows. Support: Very responsive
What do you dislike?
Didn't find any considering that they are always adapting and ready to change

snippet power tools
I purchased this app from Daeda Technologies and it works amazing for exporting my snippets and templates out of Hubspot. I did not test the import functionality and will not need it for my purposes. My contact at Daeda, Jack Tolley, was extremely responsive to my emails when I had questions or needed him to tweak the formatting for the export. There have been many posts in the Hubspot community looking for export functionality around Templates and Snippets. Look no further!! I highly recommend!

Daeda Essentials
Must-Have Workflow Tools with Outstanding Developer Support
As a HubSpot Architect and automation specialist, I have integrated Daeda Essentials into multiple high-volume, high-complexity workflow environments. The suite delivers exactly what power users and operations leaders need to move faster and automate more with less friction. I've implemented several of Daeda Essentials’ custom-coded workflow actions - specifically Pause for Meetings v1, Throttle V2, Unselect Dropdown Values, and the OpenRouter AI actions - to streamline processes that simply aren’t possible with native HubSpot features. These actions are thoughtfully designed, reliable, and flexible enough to handle real-world business logic at scale. Where Daeda Essentials truly stands out is the quality of developer support and customer service. The Daeda team is responsive, knowledgeable, and genuinely committed to user success. Every time I’ve had a technical question or needed help with an edge case, they’ve gone above and beyond - including offering personalized guidance that helped us deliver mission-critical automations on tight deadlines. For anyone serious about scaling automation and operational excellence in HubSpot, I can’t recommend Daeda Essentials highly enough. Early adopters will especially appreciate the level of partnership and investment you get from the team behind this app.

Essential Tool for HubSpot Optimization with Amazing Features
This is the #1 app to download if you are serious about optimizing HubSpot. Easy to use, high impact & great value for money if you upgrade to the paid versions.
What do you like?
A single app that solves multiple problems. I personally use the 'throttle' function the most to throttle my workflows calling external API's. I also love the 'approval gate' functionality that allows me to approve certain workflow progress. Such as automating postal deliveries etc. The team is also always working to add more and improve the app, it is a delight to watch the progress.
What do you dislike?
That more people don't know about this app.

Frequently asked questions
No. The dropdown is created as a brand new enumeration property prefixed with dd_ (e.g. dd_region) under the daeda_tech_dynamic_dropdowns property group. Your original text property and every record's existing value stay exactly as they were.
