Remove Company requirement from Leads

Date de publication: Oct 18, 2024
Description

Some users may want to remove the Company field requirement on Leads. This is only possible if Person Accounts have been enabled for the Org.


Notes:

  • ​Person Accounts may only be enabled for Professional Edition, Enterprise Edition, Unlimited Edition, and Developer Edition.
  • When converted, a Lead without a Company will create a Person Account; the Name field of the Lead will be mapped to the Person Account's Name field.
  • It is not possible to remove the Lead Company field requirement for Group Edition.
  • Leads created with a value in Company field will be considered as business accounts and a Lead without a value in the Company field will create a Person Account if Person Accounts have been enabled for the org. 
Résolution
