You can add custom fields to copy additional information between quote items and ticket items.

Make sure custom fields have the same name, data type, length, and decimal places on both the Quote Item and Ticket Item objects.

Fields that are prefixed with Locked_ prevent the editing of the related field (with the similar API name) when the locking field is True.

You can add your own Custom Locking Fields to the Ticket Item

When a locked field on a Price Book Item or Quote Item is added to the Ticket, the Quote Item’s matching field is also locked.
