Custom Lead/Account Field Mapping

[AsperaJim]

Is there any way to create a custom field (i.e. picklist for Region) and have it apply to both Leads and Accounts?  Or do I have to create duplicate custom fields for both Leads and Accounts and make sure they contain identical values?  It would seem logical that I could create a custom field once and use it in many places.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hello,

Unless the functionality has changed and I'm unaware you will have to create the picklist twice.  And then map it.

This functionality is not in the product today.  You have to re-create the picklist in both objects, and any time you make a change to the pick list in one object, you need to remember to make it anywhere else you might re-use that picklist.

Go vote up this idea, and we can get this feature implemented!: Universal Picklists
