&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="overflow:hidden;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Leads are actually stored in the &lt;b&gt;Customer&lt;/b&gt; table, which in turn is just a view of the &lt;b&gt;Entity&lt;/b&gt; table. The entity table stores all customers, leads, employees and vendors. The only difference between a lead and a customer is that a lead has a value of &lt;b&gt;Yes&lt;/b&gt; in the &lt;b&gt;IsLeadStatusOnly&lt;/b&gt; field. When you convert a lead to a customer, Method simply changes this value to &lt;b&gt;No &lt;/b&gt;and tells the sync to push the record to QuickBooks. Since there is no copying of data to another table, the data in the custom field that you have added will remain the same. I hope this helps.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="overflow:hidden;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;thanks,&lt;/p&gt;
