    Defining drop-down field values for State Code

    Does Wild Apricot have standard field values that we can use for State/Province codes, or is this something I need to fill in manually?

    Thanks!

    This is interesting - it looks as if the only way to add those field value lists is when the field is initially set up.  Is that right? that I can't do it after the field has been established initially?

    That is correct. This will work for a new field only.

    Actually there is a simple workaround - create a new field, inject the necessary items, then click on the list of values and select all. (or you can copy the list from anywhere else)

    now you can discard that new field, go into existing field and use 'Add multiple items' to paste the list you copied.

    Thanks, Denys, for confirming my suspicion.

     And yes, Dmitry, that's what I was thinking as well.  :-)
