State/country picklist different on leads vs. contacts?

Hi community!

I am having an interesting issue. Our Salesforce instance is integrated with our company website. We are a subscription-model company selling content, so we sync contacts up to our website to determine which contacts have web accounts and also what these contacts have access to. 

I am seeing a weird thing where I am getting errors for leads regarding the state in the state/country codes for leads only. So contacts are syncing all right, but leads seem to be erroring out. 

But, I thought the state/country picklist was universal for the instance so that does not make much sense to me. Am I wrong in that assumption? 

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. 

Thanks,
Tasia

Hi Tasia,

Ideally yes, if you are capturing data into the standard address fields, it uses the Salesforce state/country picklist. Could you post the error here for better understanding.

Yes absolutely. The error is appearing in Drupal. 

Here is the error:

Hi Tasia,

The problem could be a misleading error message because it is a FIELD_INTEGRITY_EXCEPTION for the states/countries of the data of the contacts and those of the leads after the conversion but here, you don't have already converted your leads?
Tasia Demuth 4Tasia Demuth 4
Right! I have not yet converted the lead. So, it is confusing. I wouldn't think it would be throwing this error. And what is weird, is it happens fairly rarely, so I am unsure what the pattern is.
