Archive Property Options

What it is

You can now hide individual options on enumeration properties, the dropdowns, checkbox lists, and radio selects that make up most of the structured data in a portal. Hidden options become unavailable for selection going forward, but the existing records that used the old value stay intact. This is in private beta across all hubs and tiers, which is unusually broad for a beta release.

Why it matters

The old options for retiring a property value were ugly. You could rename it to "Do Not Use," which kept the value selectable in most places and put the burden of compliance on every user in the portal. You could uncheck "available in forms," which only solved the problem for forms. Or you could delete the value entirely and merge it into something else, which forced teams to commit to a new structure before they were ready. This update gives admins the missing middle ground: pause a value while you figure out what the new structure looks like, without losing the historical data and without asking your team to remember not to use it. For RevOps teams running portal audits, this is the kind of update that quietly removes a category of cleanup work. For anyone running through a property restructure, it removes the pressure to make hard decisions on a deadline.
