    RE: process - pull data from account with a new field

    Hi Sayen,

    Thanks for quick response.

    How about this :-

    1. create a simple text field containing the the value in choice column in Account file.

    2. every time a new Account created, the text field containing the value in choice column.

    3. pull the text field to Lead file.

    do you think it work ?

    Appreciate your help.

    Thanks

    Hi HarHar,

    I'm afraid it is not available to set the mapping in Lead file.

    When we set the mapping in Lead file, the data from Account cannot be taken to Lead form.

    Because the value needs to be entered in Lead form first, so the value will be taken to Account which associated with.

    If you want to realize this feature, you can create a new idea through the below URL, then ask your colleagues to raise up the votes.

    Hi HarHar,

    I'm afraid it is not available to use workflow to update the value in choice column of Lead form.

    It's due to system design that we cannot pull value from choice column to another column.

    Now we can only use field mapping to realize this function.

    Best Regards,

    Hi Sayen,

    yes, when created Lead record from Account , it can pull the data, you're correct.

    But when created from Lead only, it cannot pull data from Account, I need to create record from Lead instead of create from Account, may I have your advise please ?

    Thanks HarHar

    Hi HarHar,

    Thank you for your information.

    Have you created a new Lead record from Account record? If so, the value in Company Size column will be taken from Account to Lead form.

    pastedimage1684203430898v2.png

    The value cannot be taken when we create a new Lead record and then select an existing Account.
