A Salesforce administrator at an industrial equipment manufacturing company is setting up the lead conversion process. The business requires that a custom picklist field on the Lead object, named 'Purchasing Urgency', is preserved on the newly created Contact record when a lead is converted. Which administrative requirement must be met to ensure the custom lead field data is transferred to the Contact record during lead conversion?
- Create a custom field of a compatible data type on the Contact object and configure the mapping in Lead Custom Field Mapping settings.Cevap
- BAdd the custom picklist values to the default Contact Record Type picklist assignment settings prior to conversion.
- CLink the custom Lead field to an active Sales Process so that values automatically cascade to converted Contact records.
- DEnsure both fields share the exact same API name so that standard lead conversion automatic mapping can transfer the data.
Cevap
Create a custom field of a compatible data type on the Contact object and configure the mapping in Lead Custom Field Mapping settings.
To preserve custom lead field values on converted records, an administrator must create a custom field of a compatible type on the target object (Account, Contact, or Opportunity) and explicitly map the fields using the Lead Custom Field Mapping feature in Object Manager.
