Hello Rabii,

don't work and it's same as Activities (for meeting attendee add custom entity) i have modified this file but not upgrade safe. application/Espo/Modules/Crm/Tools/Activities/Service

If you look this files : Espo\Modules\Crm\Tools\Lead\ConvertService.

It's hard coded (Account, Opportunuity, Contact.)

ohh we can leave without convert to custom entity

Thanks

EDIT : i don't know why Yuri have hardcoded entity in some place, but certainly have reason, but just my idea, it's not possible to do something so :
if (record->has(template::Company )) ...
else if (record->has(template::Person)) ...
so we can easy add custom entity every where with metadata (i think with my little skill)

I have just tested the code i have shared with you and it works fine. I have added a custom entity type Person and added it to the lead convert process and it works.

Haaa :s
what is working for me with your code :

- when converting, custom Entity is there
- when select custom Entity : layout convertDetail is OK
- when click, no error, sidepanel, a new layout appear with "Converted To" and Account, Contact, Opportuinity but not custom entity.

And last, there are no record in custom entity..

Is in your test, you can see the new record in the custom entity ?

You are right. Record is not saved in DB. Best way is to create your custom LeadService and bind it.
