1. Go to the Sales workcenter.
2. Go to the Leads view.

5. 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.

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.

3. Open the relevant Contact.
4. Click Edit and maintain the mobile number and the Marketing Permissions.
