Hi all,

Today, it’s not possible to edit company or relationship standard fields from CTAs when those fields are displayed on the CTA layout.

The “editable” tick box is greyed out.

However, I can think of many use cases where this would be extremely useful, the principal one being a New Customer Assignment / Kick-Off CTA per the following flow: 

  1. New customer is created in Gainsight with a rule 
  2. A CTA to signal that new company record is assigned to a user, for them to review and assign the customer to an engagement model and a CSM
  3. The reviewer reviews the information about that customer directly from the CTA to make a decision on their engagement model, and based on that, sets two custom fields (Engagement Cadence and Engagement Model) and two standard fields (CSM and Stage) which are displayed under the Company tab of the CTA

Today, I am able to set the engagement model and cadence from the CTA and have to visit the Company C360 to update the CSM and the stage. Considering this is all part of one process, handled with that kick-off CTA, I’d like to be able to do everything from the CTA.

My ask:

Allow standard field edits from CTA layout

Allow company standard fields to be editable

Allow relationship standard fields to be editable 

 

I believe that ties in with the in-line editing work, although a bit different but that’s really the same spirit. 
 

Thanks for considering this request.

A.

How is this not a thing/fixed already? Such an efficiency killer when trying to update main fields from a CTA (CSM, Stage etc..)

Just makes everything so clunky. Please consider changing this!

Hi ​@revathimenon Sounds like a simple one to fix. Could we get some eyes on this? Thanks!

Can we please get this addressed? It’s crazy that I can’t make our CSM lookup field editable on the CTA layout, but I can make other custom lookup fields editable. Why would this limitation possibly exist in the first place?

It’s extra confusing as well, because custom lookups can be edited. So it’s jarring when you can’t edit all of them in the same way.

We definitely need this functionality.  Many times a CTA is entered in incorrectly, and comments are added and timeline entries are associated before we even realize it.  In order for things to be documented properly and for the CTA to be associated to the Relationship, the CSM has to delete the CTA-which changes the timeline of the CTA and then they have to go and dig and find the timeline entries and re-associate it.  It’s too much work and leaves a lot of room for mistakes.  Please make an enhancement to allow editing the relationship on the CTA.
