Transfer data from Account record to Contact record

Transfer data from Account record to Contact record

Hello,

If I create a new contact linked to an account the "mailing" address for the contact auto-populates from the "billing" address of the account. This makes sense.

But, in the part of the world at least, I need an extra line for the address. So I have added custom fields like "Billing Street 2" in accounts and "Mailing Street 2" in contacts. I'm assuming that there isn't a better way to do this.

My question is whether there is a way to map these custom fields so, in the case above for example, the "Mailing Street 2" field in the new contact would be auto-populated with the contents of the "Billing Street 2" field from the account (in the same way that the "Mailing Street" other address fields already are).

Any suggestions?

Thanks, Chris
