Account Name relate field in sugar 5.2

[jlamb]

In Sugar 5.1 when a lead is converted to an account, the account_name field in the original lead becomes a hyperlink to the newly created account. In 5.2, I am only getting a text field with no select button on the edit view and no hyperlink in detail view (basically no relate field functionality).

I have attempted to fix this by changing the type property to 'relate' in the detail and editviewdefs.php files and then save/deploy the changes. When I go to look at an existing lead or create a new lead, an error appears:

Fatal error: Smarty error: [in cache/modules/Leads/EditView.tpl line 177]: syntax error: unrecognized tag: $fields..value (Smarty_Compiler.class.php, line 436) in C:\Program Files\Apache2.2\htdocs\sugarcrm\include\Smarty\Sma rty.class.php on line 1095

(That error is for edit view. A similar error occurs for detail view)

When checking out the tpl file created by the cache, I'm seeing that the hyperlink creation attempts to use a variable called $field..value... Why is it pulling up a blank key in between field and value? Someone help me fix this please?

Can I say - me too - I'm also not getting a select box under account.
Typically I would convert a contact to a lead - so it wouldn't matter - but be nice for a fix.
