Full Version: Default Country for new customers

When creating a new customer, but default the "Country" is empty. It would be nice if by default it could show the "Country of Operation" set up in the company settings.
Another nice idea and simple - will do
Thanks Phil for considering my ideas, I appreciate that.
Hi all:

I agree with that proposal, but it popped in my brain again the old discussion about the name of the address fields...

Should we finally get rid of the Address 1, address 2, etc and get some better descriptions (IMHO) like :

Street:
Street:
Suburb/City:
State/Province:
Postal Code:
Country:

I know, I know... I've been telling this for a while. Hopefully I would get more supporters now ;-) Most of the software available use this approach and I can't think of a big disadvantage using it instead on Address 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 etc..
Hi, Richard:

I believe it should be take is as is.
Since we usually only use address1 or address 2 which is enough to record the address. And the address order in China is absolutely different from the address you listed. We come from a big scope to small one. Such as Country->state->city->street etc.

Best regards!

Fully understood. We are used to small to big scope, but logically does make much more sense if you start narrowing down from big to small.

Also Tim emailed me about some African countries not using this approach, so request closed on my side.

Many thanks.
