I have noticed, that when a lead is created and I decide, that it is irrelevant or I do not want to convert it to a deal, the person is still saved to PD as well as organization. 

Is this a bug or feature? I would expect, that after a do a decision, that lead is relevant, after then, I will save it to my PD.

Thus there should be two buttons - convert to deal, save it to PD. Otherwise, it would pile a lot of dirty contacts in my database?

    Hey @Martin Pecha, thank you for reaching - this is Clarissa from the Support Management team.

    I believe for the moment it is an expected behaviour as it is mandatory to have a contact attached to leads for the moment. Nonetheless, it is an excellent feedback and I'll make sure to pass it to our product team. Unfortunately, we do not develop or change features on demand, we share feedback with the Product Managers and after an extensive investigation, they assess if it is something that should be implemented or not, taking into consideration our users.

    Thanks for reaching so fast, I totally understand. I am solving the case when I have some lead generated database from outside, where I do not know, if all contacts are relevant (I do not need some barber in IT database etc.)

    Same issue might be with web form collecting. Sometimes irrelevant leads are generated, thus also person and organisation. That increases manual costs to maintain database structured.

    Of course, Martin, it's our pleasure to help.

    Thank you for the detailed explanation, Martin, personally it makes totally sense and I really hope this can be improved soon. I'll add the information in regards of the webforms for our team too. :)
