Hi,
Yes there is a way to convert and idea to an incident.
First, you have to create a mapping/mapping code between the two objects using xog. I have included a sample xog file that you can use as an example below.
Once you have created the mapping, you can create a process and use the System Action called Convert Object to convert your object based on the mapping youcreated. Just click on the binoculars to the right of the Mapping Code field to select the one you created via xog.
Once your process is completed/validated/active, you can run your process against any Idea that you want to convert to an Incident to complete the conversion.
Sincerely yours,
Jeanne Gaskill
