Environment
SAP Cloud for Customer
Reproducing the Issue
-
Go to the Sales workcenter.
- Go to the Leads view.
- Create a new Lead without Account and maintain the mobile number and the Marketing Permissions.
- Click Actions > Associate to Account and Contact.
- Select the relevant Account and Contact and Save.
Result: in the new Lead, the mobile number and the Marketing Permissions have disappeared; further the Marketing Permissions facet is gone from the Lead TI altogether.
Cause
The existing Contact did not have the mobile number and marketing permissions maintained. When associating the Lead, the fields get overwritten by the data maintained in the Contact. Please note the Marketing Permissions facet is only available in a Lead without Account.

Go to the Customer workcenter.
- Go to the Contacts view.
- Open the relevant Contact.
- Click Edit and maintain the mobile number and the Marketing Permissions.
- Then you can associate the Lead without data loss.
