A Salesforce administrator at a wealth management firm needs to preserve custom data when converting prospective clients into client contacts. The firm uses a custom picklist field on the Lead object named Investment_Strategy__c to track client preferences. The administrator needs this value to automatically populate on the Contact record when a Lead is converted. What action must the administrator take to fulfill this business requirement?
- Create a matching custom Picklist field on the Contact object, then map the Lead field to the Contact field using Map Lead Fields in Object Manager.Cevap
- BAssign the custom Lead picklist field directly to the Contact Record Type without creating a new field on the Contact object.
- CCreate a Roll-Up Summary field on the Contact object that references the custom picklist field from the converted Lead record.
- DCreate a Lookup relationship field on the Contact object targeting the Lead object so the picklist value is dynamically referenced after conversion.
Cevap
Create a custom Picklist field on the Contact object with matching values, then navigate to Object Manager > Lead > Fields & Relationships > Map Lead Fields to establish the custom field mapping.
When converting leads in Salesforce, custom fields on the Lead object do not automatically map to target records. The administrator must create a custom field with a compatible data type on the target object (Contact) and explicitly map the two fields using the Map Lead Fields tool in the Lead Object Manager.
