How can I add related people or organizations to a deal?
By default, deals can only have one linked person or organization. However, if you want to associate additional contacts with a deal you can do so using custom fields.
Creating a person or organization custom field
To create a custom field for your deals, go to Company settings > Data fields and select ”+ Custom field“ under Lead/deal.

Using your custom field
Once you’ve created your custom field, go to a deal’s detail view and click the pencil icon to the right of the field.

Type in the first few letters of your person or organization’s name, and it will auto-populate. If a contact with that name doesn’t exist in your account, you can create one using the field.
