We're trying to move to lightning and one of the buttons that has to be converted creates a new case with a new record type and auto populates fields from an old case. I used the Salesforce button converter tool to convert the buttons but it doesn't seem to work properly. The account name and contact name didn't auto populate. I tried to create a custom component to do the same but it still won't auto populate the Account Name and Contact Name. The custom component consists of a Modal that pops up a case custom component. The Account and Contact auto populate in the case custom component but when I try to display that in the Modal it doesn't work properly and show up as a lookup field. The other fields auto populate fine.
Custom Case Component
<aura:component implements="force:appHostable,flexipage:availableForAllPageTypes,flexipage:availableForRecordHome,force:hasSObjectName,force:hasRecordId,forceCommunity:availableForAllPageTypes,force:lightningQuickAction" access="global" >
<aura:attribute name="record" type="Case"/>
<aura:attribute name="recordId" type="Id" />
<lightning:recordEditForm recordId="{!v.recordId}" objectApiName="Case"
onsubmit="{!c.handleSubmit}"
onerror="{!c.handleError}"
onsuccess="{!c.handleSuccess}">
<lightning:inputField fieldName="Status" />
<lightning:inputField fieldName="AccountId" />
<lightning:inputField fieldName="ContactId" />
</lightning:recordEditForm>
