Option to change a Subject field in the Activity Timeline
None
We have a Subject field on the existing Log a Call in Salesforce that is a drop-down with our own custom values. The Subject field in Gainsight is just a free form text field. How do we get the values from the SF Subject drop-down to show in the GS Subject field? Also, if we are to implement this change, what is the best approach to avoiding overwriting the existing Log a Call subjects that have already been entered in GS?

You can modify the fixed list of subjects by going to Setup > Customize > Activities > Task Fields > Subject

A custom drop-down field can be added to the activity layout and it can be made mandatory. This field can be synced to the Subject field in Salesforce instead of syncing from the subject field in timeline activity.
Would this approach help?
Thanks?
We tried to suggest the same to the user/customer but the main hurdle here is that the Subject is a default mapping in Activity Timeline which is not editable.
Allowing the subject field to be a custom dropdown list would allow us to:
Is this possible/on the radar?
