I'm working with a client on a project and have encountered some very strange behavior with custom lead field mapping upon lead conversion. I've created two custom fields on Lead and Account, both called Domain__c.
On Leads, this is a formula that returns text:
On Accounts, it is simply a text field:
I have set up the custom field mapping:
I would expect this to carry over to the account when converting a lead. However, when creating a test record, I can see the field is populated correctly on the lead:
However, when I convert the lead (and create a new account in the process), this value does not get mapped correctly to the Account:
Am I taking crazy pills? What am I missing here that is causing this mapping to fail? I've done this exact same thing in previous organizations, and I'm not sure what the issue could be.
Domain
field (non-formula) also on Lead? My experience is that formula fields can't be mapped on Lead Conversion (at least, not directly)Account.Domain__c
