When a user manually creates a new contact inside HighLevel, there should be an option to automatically assign the contact owner to the same user who created it.

Right now, if a salesperson manually adds a contact, ownership has to be assigned in a separate step or handled through a workaround workflow. That adds friction and creates room for missed ownership, especially in B2B sales environments where reps are creating contacts directly during prospecting and account research.

Requested behavior:

Add a setting such as:

“On manual contact creation, assign Contact Owner to the logged-in user who created the record.”
