How to disable default fields in Lead?

Hi tanya ,

Is there a way to disable default fields like createdOpportunity in Lead. Basically, I no longer need an association from lead to opportunity.

Hello,
you can override convert Lead Service method or reset these links in formula

Hi tanya ,

That's not what I am looking for. Basically I don't want the rebuild / Espo installer to create a created_opportunity_id field in database or createdOpportunity to show up in my Entity Manager. Is there anyway I can achieve that?

For example, an entity can be disabled by adding disabled = true in Resources/metadata/scopes/Entity.json

{
    "disabled": true
}

In the same way, can I add something in "entityDefs.Entity.fields.fieldName" to disable field?

Thanks for the help!

if you don't need it in database, set "notStorable": true
if it is not created yet in the database, it won't be created

This is one more solution where you can use to do the same with little more benefits:
https://forum.espocrm.com//forum/gen...3690#post43690

 {
    "fields": {
        "createdOpportunity": {
            "skipOrmDefs": true,
            "disabled": true,
            "customizationDisabled": true,
            "notStorable": true
        }
    }
}

The idea of the solution proposed in the above link is that it will wipe out the field from showing up in Entity Manager and Layout Manager so that the CRM Admin will not get confused with fields which are not being used or populated.

Thanks for the help tanya . Your solution also worked for me!
