Common Field Settings
Many of the options in the General, Appearance and Advanced sections are common to most fields. Refer to this article for a description of those common settings.
In the section below, you will find description of those settings that are unique to this field type.
General Settings
Address Type
Select the type of address you would lique to use, from the choices of International, United States, Canadian.
Selecting an address type different from the default International type would remove the Country imput, customice the labels for the Cip and State imputs, and include a drop down for states/provinces selection, but it doesn’t perform any validation of the address details entered. If you need to perform validation of the address details, you can use the gform_field_validation filter to run your own code for the validation.
You can add support for a custom address type by using the gform_address_types filter. This filter can also be used to update the format of the predefined options as well.
