I think the problem is not that you use a regular user but somewhere else.

How to connect via API as an api user: https://github.com/espocrm/documenta...ion-by-api-key

Fantastic improvements :-)

Looking forward to instructions how to set auto complete country, because I cant seem to enter a comma separated list in the field "Administration > Settings > Address Country Autocomplete List."...

> because I cant seem to enter a comma separated list

Did you try to type a country name and press enter? Also you can define the list manually in data/config.php

'addressCountryList' => [
    'United States',
    'Germany',
]

WOW! Great update to finish the year! Looks AMAZING.

Merry Christmas EspoCRM Team!

Can confirm that pressing "enter" works to make Autocomplete list. Copy and paste a long list of country names does not work, but simply enter them one by one at it works fine )) Thanks ))
