SYMPTOMS
Microsoft CRM supports default picklist values that are set when new Opportunity, Contact, or Account records are created. However, when you create an Opportunity, Contact or Account by converting an existing lead record, the default values are not set properly. Although they initially show correctly in the Microsoft CRM Web application, the database record actually stores NULL, rather than the appropriate default value.
