Unfortunately it will not - they will be two separate fields with
no functional connection. To further clarify, the native Manager field
will only appear after a project has been generated (It will not appear
on the request form or the request profile, or in the project creation
wizard).
It would be nice if this field was available earlier
for situations similar to your need as you and other customers are able to identify managers early on -
which is why I encourage you to create a greenhouse item since you're not alone.
Thanks!!!
