A Salesforce administrator at a commercial architecture firm creates a custom picklist field named 'Project Scope' on the Lead object. To retain this data during lead conversion, matching custom picklist fields with identical values are created on both the Account and Opportunity objects. However, during conversion testing, the 'Project Scope' field on the newly created Opportunity record remains blank. Which administrative action is required to ensure the lead field data populates on the Opportunity record upon conversion?
- Configure Lead Custom Field Mapping in Setup to explicitly map the Lead picklist field to the Opportunity picklist field.Cevap
- BAssign the custom picklist values to the default Opportunity Record Type for the converting user's profile.
- CCreate an active Sales Process for the Opportunity object that incorporates the custom Lead picklist values.
- DChange the Opportunity field data type to text because Lead picklist fields can only be mapped to Account records.
Cevap
Configure Lead Custom Field Mapping in Setup to explicitly map the Lead picklist field to the Opportunity picklist field.
In Salesforce, creating custom fields with identical names or picklist values on both the Lead and target objects (Account, Contact, or Opportunity) does not automatically transfer field values upon conversion. An administrator must explicitly map custom Lead fields to custom target object fields using the 'Map Lead Fields' tool in the Lead Object Manager. When correctly mapped to a compatible picklist field on the Opportunity object, the selected value transfers seamlessly during conversion.
