Issue/Introduction

Scenario under consideration:

1. Custom Static lookup defined
2. A custom attribute defined to use this lookup in the Project object only
3. A default is set against the attribute
4. Some Project templates are updated to contain a value against this newly created attribute
5. Note that an equivalent attribute is not present in the Idea object
6. An Idea is converted to a Project.

What are the expected outcomes for this attribute?

Resolution

Expected outcomes:

1. If one of the templates mentioned in step 4 is used, then the value set against the template is set against the converted Project
2. Without using a template, the default set against the attribute definition is set against the converted Project
3. A template that does not have a value set against the attribute is used, then no value is set against the attribute in the converted Project.
