    Provide predefined drop-down fields: drop down for country, province and state [1125]

    It would be great if there was a universal drop down box for country and province/state so we don't have to enter them individually.

     Thanks

    Sharon

    Sharon:

    This is a great idea, and we have had similar requests for this feature from other clients.

    We have done some analysis on this, and hope to include it within the next few iterations.

     Thank you

    Yes, this would be a good feature -- not only would it make it easier for people entering in their info, but also, it would ensure that the info is entered in a standard way.

    Is this available yet?  If there was some way we could upload a txt file and have it auto inserted into the country field section, anyting would be better then hitting the NEW CHOICE + 300 times, it will save 3 hours of frustrating typing and going back and correcting, etc, etc!

    Re: universal drop down box for country and province/state

    Yes, this would be great to have - particularly for standardizing entries as someone else said above. The greatest majority of our members are from the USA but we have some in Canada and abroad.

    First, since there are a bunch of different ways to abbreviate our country, It would be great to standardize it "USA" and have done.

    Second, we would love to  be able to have all 50 States, Puerto Rico, and the Canadian Provinces listed, also for postal address standardizattion. Also would love to have an option for "Other" wherein a member could type in his entry as necessary. (Most other countries we mail to don't use a State/Province in their postal addressing, but we have to make it a required field because of USA and Canadian members.)

    Re: Provide predefined drop-down fields: drop down for country, province and state [1125]

    We are planning to release the first predefined drop down field in version 3.4. You will have the ability to quickly create a list of Canadian provinces, U.S. states, and Countries.

    This is being done as part of the changes to the interface for defining multiple choice and drop-down lists. You can track the progress of this feature in the following forum: http://www.wildapricot.com/forums/thread/14014.aspx

     We expect to release this in March, 2010.
