Leads custom field that exists in Account

If you create the same field name (exactly) in Leads, and then copy the convertdefs.php file from modules/Leads/metadata/ into custom/modules/Leads/metadata, adding in your field to the array of account fields, it should display.

I cannot create a field with same name because sugar automatically puts the _c in the end of the field name. So, I have the field annual_revenue in account and annual_revenue_c in leads. Different names. When I convert the lead, the information cannot be passed automatically. At least, that is my knowledge about the subject.

Hello,

You are right, Sugar will not copy over the values for different field names. What best you can do is, assign the value by extending view.convertlead.php

Add, $bean->annual_revenue = $lead->annual_revenue_c;

inside the loop after this comment > //Handle non-contacts relationships

Looks like

//Handle non-contacts relationships

        foreach ($beans as $bean)

        {

            if (!empty($lead))

            {

                $bean->annual_revenue = $lead->annual_revenue_c;

.

Hi,

I have this:

//Handle non-contacts relationships

        foreach ($beans as $bean)

        {

            if (!empty($lead))

            {

                if (empty($bean->assigned_user_id))

                {

                    $bean->assigned_user_id = $lead->assigned_user_id;

Should I put it before or after "if (empty($bean->assigned_user_id))"

Thanks
