Convert lead to contact without associating with account

[zxcvzxcv]

I am running the following:
Sugar version: 6.1.3 / Sugar DB version: 6.1.3 / Sugar flavor: CE

When I convert a lead to a contact, sugarcrm requires that I associate the person with an Account.

Even if I uncheck "Create Account OR Select Account *" it still requires that I associate the lead/contact with an account.

How can I just convert the lead to just a contact?

My model links someone to an account if an agreement/contract has been made.

I plan on making another module for "Companies/Partnerships" where I can link multiple people together.

Copy convertdefs.php from modules/Leads/metadata to custom/modules/Leads/metadata (create the directory if not present), and then modify the $viewdefs['Accounts']['ConvertLead'] section to change required from true to false. Rebuild afterwards and try it out.

Angel,


Thank you so much for this, it seems like I've tried everything else but this, after following your instructions, my accounts field is no longer required.

No i can start using my sugar instance the way i need to, which is B2C rather than B2B although i still have need to track accounts for B2B business,


Thanks again.

Hi Angel

Searching for a solution for my issue I have found your post. I have created a module using Module Builder time ago, and now I need to move a field from "Non Required" to "Required".

Do you know if it can be done easily by just modifying any kind of config file??

Thanks a lot!!

[Angel]

If it is a field in custom module built via Module Builder, just go back into Module Builder and remove the "required" option from there and re-deploy it.

IMPORTANT: Redeploying it will cause delete all customizations made to the same module via Studio or manually by placing files in /custom/modules/<your custom module>

Hi Angel

Thanks a lot, but that is the problem, have several customization made with php code, and would not like to repeat it again (even it is copy and paste I am sure several tinny problems will appear!!).

dont know about a possible solution???
Cheers

Hi again Angel

Sorry this was not the issue I got solved with Security Groups, I still need to change a field from non required to required.... with no "re-deployment" involved.... any possibility???

Thanks

[Angel]

Yes, it is possible via a vardefs.ext.php file.

Take a look at the sample code in thread (in Spanish). All you should need to do is update the references to the module name (and corresponding file location).

Hi All,

How about changing config.php file content,

'require_accounts' => true,

to

'require_accounts' => false,


even this should do the trick. :-)
