Hi Hiren Darji , The code that sets the Convert field to Read Only when the Lead is converted can be found in ./modules/Leads/metadata/dependencydefs.php. The active ingredients of the file read: $dependencies['Leads'][' status_read_only '] = array( 'hooks' => array("edit"), //Trigger formula for the dependency. Defaults to 'true'. 'trigger' => 'true', 'triggerFields' => array('converted'), 'onload' => true, //Actions is a list of actions to fire when the trigger is true 'actions' => array( array( 'name' => 'ReadOnly', //Action type //The parameters passed in depend on the action type 'params' => array( 'target' => 'status', 'label' => 'status_label', //normally <field>_label 'value' => 'equal($converted,"true")', ),),),); I recommend making any changes affecting this stock functionality in the custom directory so upgrades do not undo your modifications. Kindly let us know if this helps.
