Picklist values

[Wendy]

Is there a way to display a chosen picklist value from the lead entity in the
account entity when the lead is converted to an account? I don't want to
have to maintain two picklists just to view the value after the lead is
converted.

You can get only value through mapping and mapping betweent two field require
some validation like both field should have same datatype so if you want to
get this value you have to create same picklist in account and then you can
set mapping for the same

As a workaround you could add a new text field attribute to the Lead and
Account. Use javascript on the Lead to copy the value chosen in the
picklist into the text field (which can be buried on another tab such as
Admin, or even hidden if you wish). I would probably do this in the
onSave event.
Map the text fields through from Lead to Account and you will have a
record of what the value was at the time.
