Custom field data does not map to contact during lead conversion

This issue is on sugarcrm forum as Defekt 65489

If I`d like to map special stock field in a module with leads, where I have to use a custom field the field names do not match because of the _c and therefore the mapping leads -> module does not work.

Is there any solution yet for suitecrm 7.3?

Hi,

As far as I know, this is correct procedure.

Unfortunately, your field names don’t match, but for the CRM to carry the values through conversion, the field names must match.

You could deal with this by creating some custom code to carry over specific fields, or you could create this custom field on the module where it doesn’t exist, just to ensure that they exist on both modules.
