Difficulty: MediumCustom Fields and Data Types

An administrator at an event management organization needs to ensure that data stored in a custom Lead picklist field, Attendee_Preference__c, is successfully transferred to the Contact object when a lead is converted. What requirement must be met to configure custom field mapping for lead conversion?

  1. A custom field with a compatible data type must first be created on the Contact object before setting up Lead Custom Field Mapping.Answer
  2. B
    Custom Lead fields automatically map to Contact fields that share the exact same API name without needing manual mapping setup.
  3. C
    The target Contact field must be assigned to at least one active Record Type before it becomes available in the conversion mapping interface.
  4. D
    The Contact object must maintain a Master-Detail relationship with the Lead object in order to receive mapped field values.

Answer

A custom field with a compatible data type must first be created on the Contact object before setting up Lead Custom Field Mapping.
When mapping custom Lead fields to target objects during lead conversion, an administrator must create a custom field on the Account, Contact, or Opportunity object prior to setting up the mapping. The target field must also have a compatible data type to accept the source Lead field's values.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the target record type and object for Lead conversion
The target object for attendee details during conversion is the Contact object.
Custom Lead fields do not automatically populate standard or existing target fields unless mapped explicitly.
2
Create the custom target field on the Contact object
A new custom field (e.g., Attendee_Preference__c as a Picklist or Text) is created on Contact.
Lead Field Mapping requires existing target custom fields with compatible data types on Account, Contact, or Opportunity.
3
Navigate to Lead Object Manager settings and configure Map Lead Fields
The Lead custom picklist field is mapped directly to the newly created Contact custom picklist field.
This guarantees data transfer during the lead conversion process.
