If you’ve used Salesforce CPQ, you might know about twin fielding—a way to link fields with the same name across different parts of the system. While this was useful, Revenue Cloud removes the need for twin fields by using attributes, which make things easier and more automatic.
In CPQ, twin fields needed custom fields with matching names and data types to move data from quotes to orders. Now, Revenue Cloud does this automatically with attributes.
“You don’t need to create twin fields in Revenue Cloud because attributes move data on their own.” – Jared Christensen, SOLVD Consultant
With attributes, there’s no need to manually connect fields—the system moves information through the whole process, from quote to order to asset creation.
When setting up a quote, users can define product attributes like:
These attributes are stored in quote line item attributes. When the quote turns into an order, the same details automatically move to order product attributes—with no extra setup.
“Attributes in Revenue Cloud move through the whole process—from quote to order to asset—without extra work.” – Jared Christensen, SOLVD Consultant
Even after an order is complete, attributes keep moving through:
This means no more setting up twin fields manually—Revenue Cloud does it for you.
If your business uses special fields that need to pass data, you can use context definitions instead of twin fields. We’ll cover this in another post—stay tuned!
By using attributes, Revenue Cloud makes field mapping simpler, making the process faster, easier, and more flexible than twin fields.

From my initial call with Spencer through project implementation with John and Evan, my experience with the SOLVD team was excellent. They were quick to understand our business needs, clear when explaining the reasoning behind proposed solutions, transparent when reporting on progress and timeline, and all around enjoyable to work with. Would highly recommend and looking forward to continue working with them in the future!
SOLVD was very straight forward with everything needed to complete the project. No surprises, no issues, and cost was aligned with the estimate. They made implementation easy and quick.
As a rule, I'm pretty stingy with my recommendations. So it's a pleasure for me to recommend Solvd as a top-flight Salesforce consultancy. Solvd recently led our company's conversion to the Lightning interface and did it on time, on budget and made it easy for me and my team. I know I'll use their services again, and am confident they can do the same for you.
