Error: Lead field length of 3,900 is greater than this field's length of 255
Hi
I want to map a field between lead and opportunity for converted lead. But I get the following error
Error: Lead field length of 3,900 is greater than this field's length of 255
I cant change the data type of the of the opportunity field since it is associated with one workflow and formula field
then what are the other ways to resolve it ??
Please Note : I have migrated these changesets from sandbox to production(in dev it worked fine but production creates a problem)

You have mapped long text area field with the text field that is the reason you are getting this error. Either you have update the lead conversation field mapping or change type. Please see the below notes if you are changing the field type - https://help.salesforce.com/apex/HTViewHelpDoc?id=notes_on_changing_custom_field_types.htm&language=en (https://help.salesforce.com/apex/HTViewHelpDoc?id=notes_on_changing_custom_field_types.htm&language=en)
1) Create a text field the same legnth as the Opportunity/Contact/Account Field you are attempting to map. (We'll call it ProdFormulaBug)
2) Create a workflow rule to update any time a lead is created or edited
a) Create the criteria so that the formula field does not equal null (leave the value blank)
b) Create a field update to populate your ProdFormulaBug field with the value inside your formula field
3) Map your new ProdFormulaBug field to the desired field on the Opp/Contact/Acct that wouldn't allow for mapping prior.
