Auto-fill "Account" and "Contacts" when converting Lead to Oppty

[alfredo-yumyum]

Hi all! Just started my 30 day trial of the cloud solution, and the setup has generally been going very well, except now I'm stuck: when converting a lead into an opportunity, how can I automatically copy the "Account" and "Contacts" from the lead to the opportunity?

I read the below post:

> "If you have created the same fields with same names on both Lead and Account, then you can just go to administration > entity manager > account > layouts > convert lead and just add the field there so when the conversation is done the fields will be populated. "

https://forum.espocrm.com/forum/general/98697-populate-custom-fields-when-i-convert-from-lead-to-account

But it doesnt seem to be working for me, because I cant get those fields to have the same name.

Here's how the relationship is currently setup between Lead and Contact:

Entity Foreign Link Link Type Link Foreign Entity
Lead cLeads Many-to-Many cContacts Contact

And here's how the relationship is setup between Lead and Account (note I have renamed "Account" to "Project"):

Entity Foreign Link Link Type Link Foreign Entity
Lead cLeads Many-to-One cAccount Project

The above relationships were both manually created by me.

The problem is, I am unable to create the same fields in Opportunity. If I try to re-create the relationships, e.g. naming the new relationship field "cContacts" (like in the Lead field), it renames it to "cCContacts" once the relationship is created in Opportunities.

So I'm at a loss - what else can I try? Appreciate any guidance!
