I have problem with transforming "Lead" into "Account".

[lukasz412]

I have problem with transforming "Lead" into "Account". When i directly add new "Account", there is error 409 and copy is not added, everything is ok. The problem is when i want to transform "Lead" into "Account" ("Account" card already exist), there is no error 409 and "Lead" is transforming into "Account". Is there any solution for this?

Hi
try to override method convert in Lead Service (create in /custom/Espo/Custom/Services a file Lead.php)

namespace Espo\Custom\Services;

class Lead extends Espo\Modules\Crm\Services\Lead
{

after file creation Rebuild the system

instead of

    $account = $entityManager->getEntity('Account');
    $account->set(get_object_vars($recordsData->Account));
    $entityManager->saveEntity($account);
    $lead->set('createdAccountId', $account->id);

use

    $account = $this->getRecordService('Account')->createEntity(get_object_vars($recordsData->Account));
    $lead->set('createdAccountId', $account->id);

Hope, it works

Hello,

  class Lead extends Espo\Modules\Crm\Services\Lead 

had to be changed into

  class Lead extends \Espo\Modules\Crm\Services\Lead
