Have Address field type - e.g. to auto fill city based on ZIP or to validate address
Is it possible to have someone put information in one field of their contact record and then have that information automatically fill in another field?
For example, on our website we are asking for City and ZIP code. Considering how poorly some folks spell the name of their location, I have a drop-down listing of all the cities/towns in WA state. I also have the ZIP code that is assigned to that city. I'd like people to enter only their ZIP code and then have the website automatically enter the name of the city based upon that ZIP code.
I have a third party program that does that, but not sure it cold be used with WA.
Thanks,
Paul

I believe the best way to address this is to have Address as a special type of field which gives a set of fields to fill in. Admin then can have many addresses (like Home, Work, etc.) for contacts and the system will know how to handle this kind of field – including convenient data entry with converting ZIP into City, etc.
I renamed the idea to have Address in title

This would be really helpful, and even better if the address field type is smart enough to by dynamic based on the country. The current options for capturing address information are not very great for members outside the US/Canada. It looks like there are several other related ideas about addresses that might be able to be merged together.

I will rename the topic. -

Could you add this to your wishlist for consideration at a later date?

Sorry we currently do not have this functionality. It might be possible to write a custom javascript that does this, try one of our partners to see if they can help: http://www.wildapricot.com/partners
