field country of varchar to list

[abner]

How can I change the country field of the entity address of varchar to Enum?

Thanks

Hi
You need a developer to override address field view or do try to make it

Hi!
Change the type from application / Espo / Modules / Crm / Resources / metadata / entityDefs / Account.json but do not make the change from the view.

Hi,
There is no risk in changing this when there are updates to EspoCRM?
Isn't there any other way without changing the code?

You can develop it in safe upgrade way.

zast I dont think it a wise choice to change it to List. You risky future issue as this field is a default field, not unless you create a new field instead.

If you want to make is easier for you, I suggest you use "Auto Complete" or "Options" feature. Please see:

https://demo.espocrm.com/?lang=en_US#Admin/settings

Under Autocomplete Country for example.

Otherwise you can also use "Default" field. Right now I only have less then 5 country listed as we are more local then international.

https://demo.espocrm.com/?lang=en_US#Admin/fieldManager/scope=Account&field=billingAddressCountry

Under the word Default

Thank you very much.

Auto complete is perfect. When you press it, you get the list of countries (if you encoded them).
