converting leads to opportunities

Hi- I would like to convert my leads to opportunities but when I do so the field is blank.  I would just like to press the button "Convert to Opportunity".  Is this possible or do I have to write a trigger? Salesforce support said they couldn't help me.

Thanks,
Rachel

Hi

Out of the box, conversion of leads will do a opportunity unless you select not to create.

When you say "the field is blank", which field are you talking about.?

Hi Rachel,

You can map the lead fields to Opportuniy fields  and it will be transfer while convert. Pleasee follow the below steps. 

1. Navigate to Setup, in App Setup and click on Customize. Then, select Leads >> Fields, the lead fields will get displayed in the screen.
